bogofilter-0.96.8 a.k.a. 1.0.0rc6

Greetings,

This release fixes a problem in bogofilter's parsing.  After skipping
over a binary attachment the unicode conversion is b0rked and generates
some bogus tokens.  AFAICT this only happens when processing multiple
messages in one bogofilter invocation (such as when registering or
scoring a mailbox).

We're still on schedule for version 1.0.0 this month, though it will be
after the 15th :-<

	different.

	!!!!!!!! READ THE RELEASE.NOTES !!!!!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0.96.6	2005-11-11

	* Fix parsing error after binary attachment.

	2005-11-10

	* Correct charset_default value in bogofilter.cf.example

0.96.5	2005-11-07

	2005-11-04

	* Fix parsing of config file string options.

	* Fix handling of unknown charset name.

0.96.4	2005-10-31

	2005-10-29

	* Removed the BUGS section from the bogofilter man page as
          it's now obsolete.

	2005-10-26

	* The bash-dependent contrib/* scripts were changed so they may now
	  work on regular POSIX compliant sh (NOTE: Solaris has a POSIX sh in
	  /usr/xpg4/bin/sh, Solaris's /bin/sh is unsuitable for bogofilter!)

	* The contrib/ directory is now managed by the top-level Makefile.am,
	  which removes one "make" recursion. This implies that "bogogrep" is
	  now built on the top level rather than in contrib/.

	* Renamed all contrib/ scripts to that their suffix gives a hint what
	  kind of script it is (.pl, .sh).

	* Recognize all image/ types as opaque data that we do not parse,
	  rather than just image/bmp.

0.96.3	2005-10-25 (a.k.a. 1.0.0-rc3)

	* Don't decode mime-audio and mime-video attachments.
	* Remove unused CP866 code.

	2005-10-23

	* Fix possible SIGSEGV with long html comments.
 
	2005-10-22

	* Don't decode mime-image and mime-application attachments.
 
	2005-10-21

	* Avoid pointer use after freeing its memory.
	* Avoid buffer overflow during conversion to unicode.

	2005-10-15

	* Fix program abort when bad options are used.
	* Remove unused Berkeley DB locking options.

	2005-10-12

	* Fixed sqlite build option in bogofilter.spec.in 
	  (contributed by Tobias Roppelt)

	2005-10-07

	* Added contrib scripts bfproxy, spamitarium, and stripsearch
	  (contributed by Tom Anderson)

0.96.2	2005-10-06 - Promoted to Stable Release
        2005-09-25 (a.k.a. 1.0.0-rc2)

	2005-09-25

	* SQLite3 - no longer using EXCLUSIVE in BEGIN TRANSACTION as
	  it seems unnecessary and it causes trouble on MAC OSX

	2005-09-19

	* Require sqlite 3.2.6 and print warning if older version installed, to
	  avoid people running into critical bugs in older sqlite3 versions.
	  The test can be defeated by setting the environment variable
	  BF_USE_OLD_SQLITE to any value.  Also warn on 32-bit machines.

	2005-09-16

	* Fix bogus t.maint failures on some systems that don't use bash for
	  /bin/sh (for instance, FreeBSD).

	2005-09-11

	* Resurrected atexit() code to ensure databases have been
          closed (needed for rare cases on RISC OS).

	2005-09-07

	* Perform unicode conversion after base64 and quoted-printable
	  decoding.  (Thanks to Mikhael Zabaluev for the patch)

	2005-09-06

	* (sqlite3 based builds only) Print reminder to register tokens before
	  scoring if preparing the SELECT statement fails.

	* Avoid "obsolete option -I- used, please use -iquote instead" nagging
	  from GCC version 4. (Heck, autoconf has even reached include lines
	  that worked for ages.)

	2005-09-05

	* Replace mime stack by linked list (to correct gentoo bug #69893).
	* Fix configure's --with-included-gsl option.  (Thanks to
          Torsten Veller for the patch)

0.96.1	2005-09-05 (a.k.a. 1.0.0-rc1)

	2005-08-24

	* Fix incompatibility with SunOS make(1S), adding a missing trailing
	  backslash character to src/Makefile.am.

	2005-08-17

	* Update RISC OS versions of Makefile and config.h

0.96.0	2005-08-15

	2005-08-14

	* When directory name is argument for bogoutil's dump/load
	  option, use "wordlist.db" to avoid a sigsegv.

	* Remove support for TDB, the Trivial Database.

	2005-08-05

	* db_lock.c: rename "cell_t" to "bf_cell_t" to avoid clashing with
	  IRIX's cell_t. Reported by Daichi Kawahata.

	* configure.ac: MIPS doesn't have extended FP precisiopn. Patch by
	  Daichi Kawahata.

	2005-08-03

	* bogotune - Restored code for recommending db_cachesize value.

	2005-07-10

	* Bogofilter now complains if sqlite 3.2.1 or older is used on a
	  machine with a word width greater than 32 bits, but tries to proceed.
	  It may however crash with SIGBUS as sqlite 3.2.1 performs unaligned
	  64-bit accesses.  sqlite 3.2.2 or newer is strongly recommended.

	2005-07-04

	* Updated history of stable releases (file RELEASES).

	2005-07-03

	* Switched t.encoding test to use the POSIX utility cksum,
	  rather than OS-specific utilities such as md5sum or md5.

0.95.2	2005-07-08 - Stable Release
