Bogofilter version 0.7.6.rc1 (release candidate #1) is available for 
download from SourceForge.

Please download it and test it.

If no noteworthy problems are found in the next 3 days, the version string 
will change from 0.7.6.rc? to 0.7.6 and bogofilter 0.7.6 will be built and 
released.

If significant problems appear, rc2 will be released in a day or two and 
the 3 day test period will restart.

Here are re the changes since 0.7.5:

0.7.6	2002-10-26
	* Bogofilter now checks options and detects some invalid combinations.
	* Bogofilter -p mode now detects if the computer runs out of
	  memory.
	* Bogofilter supports a new "-l" switch to write run-time log
	  information to syslog.
	* Bogofilter supports a new algorithm to calculate the
	  "spamicity", the "Robinson" algorithm. It is enabled with the
	  new "-r" switch. The old behaviour is called the "Graham"
	  algorithm and can be enforced with the new "-g" switch.
	* Bogofilter now has an "-R FILE" option (that implies -r) to print
	  an R data frame to FILE.
	* Bogofilter and bogoutil now have an -x CLASSES option to turn
	  on debugging.
	* Bogoupgrade.pl has been renamed to bogoupgrade.
	* There is now a man page for bogoupgrade.
	* BASE64 treatment has been fixed. It ignored whole lines if
	  they consisted of a single token. Now a token is only
	  considered base64 and ignored if it's >= 32 characters or ends
	  in one or two padding "=" signs.
	* MIME boundary lines are now emitted as tokens. Some of them
	  are typical of certain spam software, so they might turn out
	  to be useful.
	* All control characters are now considered token delimiters.
	* Bogofilter now aborts if it cannot figure where to look for its
	  data base directory.
	* The software no longer crashes on machines that do not allow
	  for unaligned memory access (m68k; many RISC, e. g. SPARC).
	* DB 4.1 is now supported.
	* Documentation updates.
