Bogofilter-0.17.5 - New Current Release

[David Relson]

Greetings,

Bogofilter-0.17.5 is the newest release in phase 2 of the bogofilter
"Code Clean-up" release.  Since the release of 0.17.4, Greg has
completed his bogotune "mondo tune" project - running bogotune with 5
spam corpora (approx 60k ham and 60k spam in each of them).  This
release incorporates the new values for robs, robx, min_dev,
spam_cutoff, and ham_cutoff (for folks using tri-state scoring).

File RELEASE.NOTES-0.17 has details of the "Code Clean-up" changes.  If
you haven't read it already, do so!  If you determine at some future
date that you need the removed code, you'll have to download 0.16.4

The files available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter for
download.
