Bogofilter-0.17.5 - New Stable Release

[David Relson]

Greetings,

Bogofilter-0.17.5 has been promoted from "current" to "stable".  The
0.17.x release series is officially known as "Code Clean-up Release -
Phase 2".

The old compatibility code that had crept into bogofilter over its first
18 months of existence was deprecated in the 0.16.x release series and
is now gone.

File RELEASE.NOTES-0.17 has further info on the changes.  If you haven't
read
it already, do so!

The files are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter as
always.

Below is a copy of NEWS-0.17 which gives info on the changes since the
previous stable release, i.e. bogofilter 0.16.4
