Greetings,

I have rolled a snapshot tarball of bogofilter, dubbed 0.93.2.pre1, to
be downloaded at http://home.pages.de/~mandree/bogofilter/

This is not yet the official bogofilter 0.93.2, but contains some fixes
since 0.93.1 so you may want to peek at it and report remaining trouble.

As usual, this comes without any warranties, so don't complain if it
roasts your pet.

Changes since 0.93.1 are:

	2004-12-02

	* Accuracy fix: message counts of ignore lists (that can be
	  present) will be ignored and no longer skew the spamicity.

	2004-12-01

	* Allow environment to be group writable, reported by Fletcher Mattox.

	* Accuracy fix: no longer pretend that we had seen an empty message
	  registered when there was no registration. Use ROBX for spamicity.
	  This changes the output format of bogofilter -vvv mode when no spam
	  or no ham messages have been registered previously.

	2004-11-29

	* Support for Berkeley DB 3.0 was explicitly removed again, so that no
	  stable bogofilter version since 0.17.5 will have had support for this
	  version. This eliminates the need for on-disk database format
	  upgrades and keeps things simple.
	  As the unadvertised breaking of BDB 3.0 didn't raise a single
	  complaint and 3.1 has been around since July 2000, this should be
	  safe.

	* Support long options in bogoutil.

	* Add --remove-environment DIR long option to bogoutil, to remove the
	  environment. Only one such option can be used and there is no
	  corresponding short option.

	* Remove useless numeric Berkeley DB error codes from error messages.

	2004-11-26

	* bogofilter processes will refuse to open multiple wordlists in
	  different database environments (directories) when the transactional
	  Berkeley DB datastore is compiled (default). The non-transactional
	  (--disable-transactions), QDBM and TDB datastores are unaffected.

	2004-11-21

	* bogotune now uses getopt() to process the argument list,
	  hence requires a '-n' flag before each non-spam file and a
	  '-s' flag before each spam file.
	* bogotune now accepts '-x flags' to set debug flags.

	2004-11-20

	* Make scoring one huge transaction, rather than one individual
	  transaction per token. This fixes consistency and should improve
	  score speed.

	2004-11-19

	* Restored the old traditional Berkeley DB datastore that cannot be
	  recovered. Its use is discouraged, to use this, type
	  ./configure --disable-transactions

	* Restored the error message when recovery is attempted on QDBM
	  databases, was lost in the DEPOT (hash) ->VILLA (B+tree) switch.

	2004-11-15

	* Added utility scripts bf_tar.

	2004-11-14

	* Added utility scripts bf_copy and bf_compact.
	* Added BerkeleyDB warning for binary rpm users.

	2004-11-12

	* New entries in bogofilter-faq.html on error messages
	      "Lock table is out of available locks" and
	      "Lock table is out of available object entries"

	* Add %u formatting option to print login or user ID information,
	  SourceForge Feature Request #1056729.
