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

1.2.2	2010-10-08 (released)

	2010-07-05
	* Use a better PRNG for random sleeps. That is arc4random() where
	  available, and drand48() elsewhere.

	* Assorted fixes for issues found with clang analyzer:
	  + Fix a potential NULL deference
	  + Fix a potential division by zero
	  + Remove dead assignments and increments

	* Update Doxyfile and source contrib/bogogrep.c for docs, too.

	2010-07-03

	* Security bugfix, CVE-2010-2494:
	  Fix a heap corruption in base64 decoder on invalid input.
	  Analysis and patch by Julius Plenz <plenz at cis.fu-berlin.de>.
	  Please see doc/bogofilter-SA-2010-01 for details.

	2010-04-07

	* Updated sendmail milter contrib/bogofilter-milter.pl to v1.??????
	  (thanks to Jonathan Kamens)

	2010-04-01

	* Bump supported/minimum SQLite3 versions and warning threshold.
	  See doc/README.sqlite for details.

	* Mark BerkeleyDB 4.8.26 and 5.0.21 supported.

	  Note that Berkeley DB 5.0's SQLite3 compatibility API is NOT
	  supported, it causes shifts in scores and write failures under
	  contention.  Bogofilter can use Berkeley DB 5.0's native interface, 
	  and using that is more efficient than the added SQL shim layer.

	2010-03-06

	* Make t.maint more robust; ignore .ENCODING token. To fix test
	  failures on, for instance, FreeBSD with unicode enabled.

	2010-02-15

	* Fix several compiler warnings "array subscript has type 'char'", by
	  casting the arguments to unsigned char.
	     A security audit was conducted and showed that all affected
	  functions either received the relevant input from the user running
	  bogofilter, or the input had already been pre-validated by the token
	  lexer.

	2010-02-14

	* Split error messages for ENOENT and EINVAL into new function.
	* Avoid divison by zero in robx computation by checking if there are at
	  least one ham message and one spam message registered.

	2009-08-13

	* contrib/spamitarium.pl updated to version 0.4.0
	  (thanks to Tom Anderson)

	2009-08-05

	* Updated and integrated Ted Phelps's "Patch to prevent .ENCODING from
	  being discarded by bogoutil -m" (SourceForge Patch #1743984).
	  Thanks to Ted for debugging the issue and providing the patch (which
	  was for bogofilter v1.1.5).

	2009-09-15
	* Promoted to "stable"

1.2.1	2009-08-01 (released)

	2009-08-01
	* Update configure to use "host" rather than "target", to match the
	  newer autotools cross-build semantics. Untested.
	  Developers changing the build system and users who build from SVN
	  will now need automake 1.9 and autoconf 2.60.

	2009-07-31
	* Fix Christian Frommeyer's MIME decoding bug, Ubuntu/Launchpad Bug
	  #320829. As a side effect, also fixes misattribution of MIME bodies
	  as MIME headers with mime: tag.  Original bug report:
	  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bogofilter/+bug/320829

	  Before this fix, bogofilter did not properly MIME-decode the first
	  line in a body. This was especially bad with Christian's samples
	  where the whole body was only one long base64 line.

	2009-05-28
	* Removed two scripts that are auto-built.
	* Added test case for Stephen Davies' Q-P EOL problem (see below).

	2009-05-25
	* Fixed EOL problem in quoted_printable text. Problem reported by
	  Stephen Davies and identified by Pavel Kankovsky.

	2009-03-28
	* Promoted to "stable"

1.2.0	2009-02-21 (released) 

	2009-02-20
	* Flex-2.5.35 has fix for memory allocation problem in 2.5.4,
          2.5.31, and 2.5.33, making bogofilter's flex patch obsolete.

	2009-02-12
	* Bogofilter now uses listsort in place of qsort.

	2009-01-31
	* Added token-count=n, token-count-min=n, and token-count-max=n options.
	* Minor code cleanups.

	2009-01-21

	* spamitarium.pl updated to version 0.3.0
	  (thanks to Tom Anderson)

	2009-01-11

	* For compatibility with Sun's Sun Studio 12 compiler, provide
          a name for the anonymous union in typedef word_t.
	  Patch provided by Jack Bailey.

	2008-10-20

	* update bf_compact documentation by removing explicit Berkeley DB
	  references, as it has been fixed to work with other database drivers
	  in March 2008.

	2008-10-15

	* bf_compact, bf_copy and bf_tar now support transformed program names
	  (fixes Debian Bug#501947).

	* Update sqlite3 adaptor to take advantage of sqlite3_prepare_v2()
	  API function that appeared in SQLite 3.3.9. The new _v2 interface
	  allows for more specific error messages when executing SQL
	  statements.  Also enable extended result codes for more precise error
	  reporting.

	2008-07-21

	* Update doc/integrating-with-postfix: the script now suggests sendmail
	  -G -i (where -G will be ignored by Postfix before 2.3) to tell
	  Postfix it's a gateway submission, not an original injection; the
	  filter pipe(8) magic for master.cf now suggests flags=Rq (was
	  flags=R), as per Postfix's FILTER_README.

	2008-07-09

	* Drop support for systems that reverse setvbuf arguments. The last
	  systems to do that are reported to be shipped in 1987 by the autoconf
	  manual, so ditch them.

	2008-05-18
	* Promoted to "stable"

1.1.7	2008-05-04 (released) 

	2008-04-30

	* Updated sendmail milter contrib/bogofilter-milter.pl to v1.45
	  (thanks to Jonathan Kamens)

	2008-04-28

	* Added maildir training info to English and French FAQs.
	  (thanks to Karl Schmidt and to Mouss)

	2008-04-26

	* Fix uninitialized variable in lexer.c when unicode is disabled.
	  Patch provided by Roman Trunov.

	2008-04-20

	* In process_arg functions use the val parameter rather than optarg.
	  Patch provided by Roman Trunov.

	2008-04-18

	* Function process_arg now has the same prototype for
	  bogofilter, bogolexer, bogoutil, and bogotune.  The proper
	  version is called by function read_config_file for all
	  programs.  Problem reported by Roman Trunov.

	2008-04-17

	* Update Doxyfile for doxygen v1.5.5

	2008-04-16

	* Fixed syntax errors in t.valgrind test

	2008-03-21

	* bf_compact now supports compacting databases that use QDBM, Tokyo
	  Cabinet or SQLite3 and is covered by the test suite.

	2008-03-19

	* bf_compact now verifies databases before dumping them, to avoid
	  getting into an unterminated loop and wasting all diskspace.

	* Bogoupgrade now verifies databases before dumping them, to avoid
	  getting into an unterminated loop and burning all memory or disk
	  space when the database is corrupt.
	  This should fix Debian Bug#226643 and Debian Bug#226646.

	* Bogoupgrade now uses Pod::Usage to print usage/help, prints error
	  messages that are a bit more concise and validates arguments a bit
	  stricter.

	2008-02-08

	* Bump required sqlite version to 3.5.4, earlier versions could
	  sometimes corrupt the database. Update install-staticdblibs.sh.
	  Bogofilter will complain when used with older versions.

	2008-01-05

	* bf_compact problem fixed.  Reported by Thomas Novin.

1.1.6	2007-11-25 (released)

	* Transaction support added for TokyoCabinet datastore.
	  (thanks to Pierre Habouzit)

	* Bump required sqlite version to 3.4.2 and fix related compiler
	  warnings. Bogofilter will complain when used with older versions.

	2007-11-22

	* Support for TokyoCabinet datastore added.
	  (thanks to Pierre Habouzit)

	2007-08-14

	* doc/README.db was updated to BerkeleyDB 4.6
	* doc/README.db: section 3.5 was added, with information on how to 
	  resolve "Logging region out of memory; you may need to increase its 
	  size", section 4.2 now documents set_lg_regionmax.

	2007-07-23

	* The upstream repository was migrated to SVN.
	  In order to check the code out, use this command (one line):
	  svn co https://bogofilter.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bogofilter/trunk/bogofilter/ bogofilter

	2007-07-22

	* The install-staticdblibs.sh script was relicensed under GNU GPL v3,
	  adjusted to download Berkeley DB 4.2 from oracle.com, adds patch #5,
	  and updated to build SQLite 3.4.1. In order to for a rebuild of the
	  updated library, do: rm -rf /opt/db-4.2-lean /opt/sqlite-3-lean
	  and re-run the script.

	* The recommended minimum sqlite3 version is now 3.4.0, bogofilter will
	  warn if used with older versions. Bugs that could cause database
	  corruption in rare circumstances have been fixed in sqlite3.
	  See doc/README.sqlite for details.

	* Updated sendmail milter contrib/bogofilter-milter.pl to v1.27
	  (thanks to Jonathan Kamens)
