0.14.4	2003-08-10

* Revised database API so that there are 3 distinct layers
   (program, datastore, and database) with a clean interface
   between them.
* Correct exitcodes in bogoutil by using EX_ERROR.
* Updated FAQ.
* Fixed token registration bug in 0.14.x versions.
* Fixed seg fault caused by database lock contention.

0.14.3	2003-08-05

* Fixed critical locking bug introduced into bogofilter 0.14.0 with
   the combined-wordlist code: when working with separate wordlists,
   bogofilter would lock only the first one opened, rather than all.
* Documentation updates.
* %g formatting is now supported by bogofilter's formatting functions.
* Merged trio 1.10 (http://ctrio.sourceforge.net/) to support
   compilation on ancient systems (Solaris 2.5) that do not have
   [v]snprintf functions.
   Trio is Copyright (C) 1998-2000 Bjorn Reese and Daniel Stenberg.
* Various documentation updates, including the FAQ.
* The test suite was adjusted for older grep variants (Solaris 2.5)
   that don't cope with long lines.
* Print database version in print_version().
* Postfix integration instructions have been upgraded.
* Debug output for wordlists and databases was enhanced.

0.14.2 2003-08-02

* Replaced use of memcpy() by memmove() in an input routine. The
   overlapping copy migh cause data corruption on some systems.
* Fixed "make check" failures for bogoutil introduced with the
   "combined wordlist" feature in 0.14.0. There has been a buffer
   overflow. All users of bogofilter with combined wordlist prior to
   0.14.2 are advised to upgrade.
* Fixed bogus "t.valgrind" test FAILures.
* Fixed uninitialized data in db_get_dbvalue(), for split word lists.
* New file, contrib/vm-bogofilter.el, provides an interface
   between the VM mail reader and bogofilter."
* Revised lexer_v3.l for compatibility with flex-2.5.31
* Break up long line in regression test input for Solaris 2.5
   compatibility.

* Default wordlist mode is single, combined wordlist.
   File wordlist.db contains all spam and ham tokens.
