0.9.0.5	2002-11-27
   * New script contrib/bogopass allows processing of base64
     attachments.  This is a temporary solution until base64
     code can be built into bogofilter.
   * New file README.Robinson describes the tunable parameters
     for the Robinson algorithm and what to do for best performance.
   * Changed the default behavior to use the Robinson algorithm.
   * Corrected incorrect sort order when printing statistics.
   * Added support for Fisher's method of combining probabilities,
     as optimized for this purpose by Rob W. W. Hooft, to the
     "Robinson" algorithm.
   * The new file METHODS describes the Graham, Robinson, and Fisher
     methods that bogofilter supports for computing spamicity.
   * New file README.dcdflib gives some info on the dcdflib free
     library of routines for cumulative distribution functions.
   * A new '-f' option tells bogofilter to use Fisher's method.
   * A new '-c' option in bogofilter allows specification of the
     configuration file to read.
   * A new '-C' option tells bogofilter not to read any config file.
   * The syslog facility in '-l' mode has changed from "daemon" to "mail",
     so your logs may now be in /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail rather
     than /var/log/messages. Check your /etc/syslog.conf.
   * The testing framework now works on Solaris.

   Internal Changes:

   * Fixed several portability problems uncovered by the new
     regression tests.
   * Added three more regression tests designed to confirm that
     bogofilter's results are matching saved reference results.
   * Implemented an object oriented API for using computational methods.
   * Split the main module into a registration module and three algorithm
     modules - for the fisher, graham and robinson methods.
   * Registering big mbox files is much faster now, at the expense of some
     memory.
