Bogofilter-0.10.2 has been released.  It includes support for mime 
processing (including decoding base64, quoted-printable, and uuencoded 
text), removing html comments, improved database locking and 64 bits 
support, and many other changes.  Tarballs and rpms are on SourceForge at 
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter.

Below is the list of what has changed since the last stable release - 
bogofilte-0.9.1.2

--- 0.10.2 ---
* Stable release.

--- 0.10.1 - 0.10.1.5 ---
* A variety of robustness and portability changes, code and
   file cleanups and documentation updates.
* Multiple fixes for mime and html processing.
* Additional support and fixes for the various spam scoring
   algorithms.
** See file CHANGES-0.10 for details of the above items.

--- 0.10.0 ---
* Added mime processing capability, with decoding of base64,
   quoted-printable and uuencoded sections.  Ignores attachments when
   computing spamicity.
* Added wordlist maintenance capability to bogoutil.  Can discard
   tokens based on count, age, or length.  Can replace non-ASCII chars
   with question marks.
* Added dates to wordlist tokens.  Option "datestamp_tokens=true|false"
   can be used to enable/disable them.
* Moved most documentation files to doc directory.
* Added sample procmail file, contrib/procmailrc.example
* Spamicity score now computable from multiple word list pairs, i.e. all
   spam and ham word lists in directories named on command line or in
   config file (via "wordlist=" or "bogofilter_dir=" lines).
* lexer is now case insensitive
* Increase MAXTOKENLEN from 20 to 30, allowing more and longer tokens
   to be processed.
* Using new character set handling routines to provide charset specific
   token parsing.
* Added new config file options for setting of default charset and
   replacing of non-ASCII characters.
* New error handling routine will output error messages to stderr and,
   if '-l' (logging) is enabled, to syslog.
* New message formatting capability allows formats to be put in config
   file for X-Bogosity line and logging messages.  Message content can
   include status, spamicity, version, etc.
* Long-standing locking bugs that caused corruption in the data base
   have been resolved.
* Work around ash-0.2 and bash-1 bugs, needed for make check.
* Cater for malloc/calloc implementations that return NULL when 0 bytes
   of memory are requested, some AIX versions e. g., that would
   previously falsely claim an "out of memory" condition.
* Reorder gcc __attribute__ lines for gcc-2.7 compatibility.
