Bogofilter v1.2.0 has been promoted from "current" to "stable" status.

This release adds 3 new options to force bogofilter to use a specified
number of tokens when scoring a message.  The options are:

     --token-count=n
     --token-count-min=n
     --token-count-max=n

When one or more of these options is specified, bogofilter tries to
use the specified number of tokens when computing a message's score.
Under certain circumstances when multiple tokens have identical
scores, bogofilter will compute a score using more tokens than
specified.

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

1.2.0	2009-02-21 (released)

	2009-02-20
	* Flex-2.5.35 has fix for memory allocation problem in 2.5.4,
          2.5.31, and 2.5.33, making bogofilter's flex patch obsolete.

	2009-02-12
	* Bogofilter now uses listsort in place of qsort.

	2009-01-31
	* Added token-count=n, token-count-min=n, and token-count-max=n
	options.
	* Minor code cleanups.

	2009-01-21

	* spamitarium.pl updated to version 0.3.0
	  (thanks to Tom Anderson)

	2009-01-11

	* For compatibility with Sun's Sun Studio 12 compiler, provide
          a name for the anonymous union in typedef word_t.
	  Patch provided by Jack Bailey.

	2008-10-20

	* update bf_compact documentation by removing explicit Berkeley
	  DB references, as it has been fixed to work with other
	  database drivers in March 2008.

	2008-10-15

	* bf_compact, bf_copy and bf_tar now support transformed
	  program names (fixes Debian Bug#501947).

	* Update sqlite3 adaptor to take advantage of
	  sqlite3_prepare_v2() API function that appeared in SQLite
	  3.3.9. The new _v2 interface allows for more specific error
	  messages when executing SQL statements.  Also enable extended
	  result codes for more precise error reporting.

	2008-07-21

	* Update doc/integrating-with-postfix: the script now suggests
	  sendmail -G -i (where -G will be ignored by Postfix before
	  2.3) to tell Postfix it's a gateway submission, not an
	  original injection; the filter pipe(8) magic for master.cf
	  now suggests flags=Rq (was flags=R), as per Postfix's
	  FILTER_README.

	2008-07-09

	* Drop support for systems that reverse setvbuf arguments. The
	  last systems to do that are reported to be shipped in 1987 by
	  the autoconf manual, so ditch them.

1.1.7	2008-05-04 (released)

	2008-04-30

	* Updated sendmail milter contrib/bogofilter-milter.pl to v1.45
	  (thanks to Jonathan Kamens)

	2008-04-28

	* Added maildir training info to English and French FAQs.
	  (thanks to Karl Schmidt and to Mouss)

	2008-04-26

	* Fix uninitialized variable in lexer.c when unicode is
	  disabled. Patch provided by Roman Trunov.

	2008-04-20

	* In process_arg functions use the val parameter rather than
	  optarg. Patch provided by Roman Trunov.

	2008-04-18

	* Function process_arg now has the same prototype for
	  bogofilter, bogolexer, bogoutil, and bogotune.  The proper
	  version is called by function read_config_file for all
	  programs.  Problem reported by Roman Trunov.

	2008-04-17

	* Update Doxyfile for doxygen v1.5.5

	2008-04-16

	* Fixed syntax errors in t.valgrind test

	2008-03-21

	* bf_compact now supports compacting databases that use QDBM,
	  Tokyo Cabinet or SQLite3 and is covered by the test suite.

	2008-03-19

	* bf_compact now verifies databases before dumping them, to
	  avoid getting into an unterminated loop and wasting all
	  diskspace.

	* Bogoupgrade now verifies databases before dumping them, to
	  avoid getting into an unterminated loop and burning all
	  memory or disk space when the database is corrupt.
	  This should fix Debian Bug#226643 and Debian Bug#226646.

	* Bogoupgrade now uses Pod::Usage to print usage/help, prints
	  error messages that are a bit more concise and validates
	  arguments a bit stricter.

	2008-02-08

	* Bump required sqlite version to 3.5.4, earlier versions could
	  sometimes corrupt the database. Update
	  install-staticdblibs.sh. Bogofilter will complain when used
	  with older versions.

	2008-01-05

	* bf_compact problem fixed.  Reported by Thomas Novin.

1.1.6	2007-11-25 (released)

	* Transaction support added for TokyoCabinet datastore.
	  (thanks to Pierre Habouzit)

	* Bump required sqlite version to 3.4.2 and fix related compiler
	  warnings. Bogofilter will complain when used with older
	  versions.

	2007-11-22

	* Support for TokyoCabinet datastore added.
	  (thanks to Pierre Habouzit)

	2007-08-14

	* doc/README.db was updated to BerkeleyDB 4.6
	* doc/README.db: section 3.5 was added, with information on how
	  to resolve "Logging region out of memory; you may need to
	  increase its size", section 4.2 now documents
	  set_lg_regionmax.

	2007-07-23

	* The upstream repository was migrated to SVN.
	  In order to check the code out, use this command (one line):
	  svn co
	  https://bogofilter.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bogofilter/trunk/bogofilter/
	  bogofilter

	2007-07-22

	* The install-staticdblibs.sh script was relicensed under GNU
	  GPL v3, adjusted to download Berkeley DB 4.2 from oracle.com,
	  adds patch #5, and updated to build SQLite 3.4.1. In order to
	  for a rebuild of the updated library, do: rm
	  -rf /opt/db-4.2-lean /opt/sqlite-3-lean and re-run the script.

	* The recommended minimum sqlite3 version is now 3.4.0,
	  bogofilter will warn if used with older versions. Bugs that
	  could cause database corruption in rare circumstances have
	  been fixed in sqlite3. See doc/README.sqlite for details.

	* Updated sendmail milter contrib/bogofilter-milter.pl to v1.27
	  (thanks to Jonathan Kamens)

	* Fix test suite for situations where there are blanks in the
	  test or working directories' names.

	* Repair passthrough defect on systems whose standard system
	  library makes a distinction between text and binary mode in
	  stdio stuff.
