bogofilter 1.3.0.rc1 now available, release candidate (fixing --disable-unicode)

[Matthias Andree]

Greetings,

bogofilter 1.3.0.rc1 is now available from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter/files/bogofilter-current/bogofilter-1.3.0.beta/
https://gitlab.com/bogofilter/bogofilter/-/releases/bogofilter-1.3.0.rc1
(on gitlab, use the .tar.xz file and its detached GnuPG signature!)

This fixes the remaining --disable-unicode build regression, and 
switches the default database to SQLite3 (but Berkeley DB remains 
supported).

POTENTIAL FOR DATA CORRUPTION DURING UPDATES

If you plan to upgrade your database library, if only as a side effect
of an operating system upgrade, DO HEED the relevant documentation, for
instance, the doc/README.db file.  You may need to prepare the upgrade
with the old version of the software.

Otherwise, you may cause irrecoverable damage to your databases.

DO backup your databases before making the upgrade.

[Incompat 1.3.0] Operating system and SQLite3 Support

Bogofilter, as of release 1.3.0,
* assumes that all ISO C 9899:1999 headers are present when building,
* when used with SQLite3, requires SQLite 3.5.0 (from 2007) or newer.
* will use SQLite3 as the default database driver instead of Berkeley DB.

  If you want to continue using Berkeley DB, use
  ./configure --with-database=db
  when installing bogofilter.

  NOTE: before installing bogofilter with a new database driver,
  make sure to export the old database with bogoutil --dump,
  then rename the original databases to a backup file,
  only then upgrade bogofilter, and re-load the databases.

  Also note that sqlite3 and BerkeleyDB use the same extension on
  wordlist.db, so re-read the previous paragraph for instructions.

	* Make sqlite3 the default database. Least hassle, less licensing,
	  availability, or maintenance concerns.  Alternatively, bogofilter

	  ./configure --with-database=... argument.

	  NOTE: before installing bogofilter with a new database driver,
	  make sure to export the old database with bogoutil --dump,
	  then rename the original databases to a backup file,
	  only then upgrade bogofilter, and re-load the databases.

	  Also note that sqlite3 and BerkeleyDB use the same extension on
	  wordlist.db, so re-read the previous paragraph for instructions.

	* Fix ./configure --disable-unicode. Fixes #14.
