FYI on documentation:

* The bogofilter.cf.example file included in 0.90.0 still references
the old url: tags, not the new ip: tags.  Snippet:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

#### BLOCK ON SUBNETS
#
#	convert IPADDRs into a special token, url:1.2.3.4,
#	and also return url:1.2.3, url:1.2, and url:1
#       to allow identifying spammers by ip address / subnets.
#
#block_on_subnets=no

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* The bogoutil manual page is out of date, no mention of -u option.

* The INSTALL and README mention reading it for upgraders, but there was
no RELEASE.NOTES file in the 0.90.0 distribution.


Despite these documentation shortcomings, I think it was important to
get a new version out the door.  Thanks for the new release!
