Subject: bogofilter-0.95.2 - new current release
Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies email as spam or ham
(non-spam) by a statistical analysis of the message's header and content
(body). The program is able to learn from the user's classifications
and corrections.
The statistical technique is known as the Bayesian technique and its use
for spam was described by Paul Graham in his article "A Plan For Spam".
Gary Robinson, in his weblog Rants, suggests some refinements for
improved discrimination between spam and ham. Bogofilter's primary
algorithm uses the f(w) parameter and the Fisher inverse chi-square
technique that he describes.
Bogofilter is run by an MDA script to classify an incoming message as
spam or ham (using wordlists stored by BerkeleyDB). Bogofilter provides
processing for plain text and html, supports multi-part mime message
with decoding of base64, quoted-printable, and uuencoded text and
ignores attachments, such as images.
Bogofilter is written in C. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD,
Solaris, OS X, HP-UX, AIX, RISC-OS, OS/2, ...
******* ******* ******* ******* *******
This release includes unicode support. When creating a new wordlist,
the UTF-8 character set will be used. For compatibility, bogofilter
will not use unicode when operating with old wordlists.
Additionally, wordlist locking has been changed. One lock is now used
for the whole database rather than one lock per page.

!!!!!!!! READ THE RELEASE.NOTES !!!!!!!!
Sections headed '[Incompat <version>]' and '[Major <version>]'
are particularly important. They describe changes that are
incompatible with earlier releases or are significantly
different.
!!!!!!!! READ THE RELEASE.NOTES !!!!!!!!
===============================================================================
0.95.2 2005-06-30
2005-06-29
* Fix incorrect directory creation revealed by t.bogodir.
* Use unicode & transaction enable/disable flags to limit
'make check' tests being run.
2005-06-28
* Fixed buffer allocation error causing problem processing
RFC2047 encoded words.
* Fixed wordlist access problems causing bogotune to
incorrectly complain of mixed database encodings.
2005-06-21
* Bogofilter programs now use their own locking for transactional
databases, to evade the problems with overflowing lock tables,
resizing. The database is locked globally, which no longer allows
registrations to happen concurrently with read access.
The db-lk-max-locks and db-lk-max-objects options and the bf_resize
scripts and pages have been removed.
0.95.1 2005-06-26
* Fixed some wordlist open conflicts in bogotune.
* Document unicode requirements for 'make check'
2005-06-25
* Added unicode processing of encoded tokens.
2005-06-24
* Use iso-8859-1 for default charset, rather than us-ascii.
0.95.0 2005-06-20
* Fix bf_resize bash-isms (let BLAH...) and use POSIX-sh arithmetic
expansion $((...)) instead, to fix bf_resize on FreeBSD.
Reported by Andrey Chernov.
2005-06-19
* New unicode capabilities!
- default configuration:
. bogofilter auto-detects whether database is using
unicode (utf-8) or not.
. bogofilter uses unicode when creating new databases.
. bogoutil preserves unicode/non-unicode stat during
dump/load.
. bogofilter, bogolexer, and bogoutil have "--unicode=yes/no"
options which permit user selectable modes for experimenting,
testing, and wordlist conversion.
- configure with "--enable-unicode" or "--disable--unicode"
builds bogofilter and bogolexer restricted to a single mode.
- bogoutil uses "--unicode=yes/no" when creating a new wordlists.
- bogoutil uses "--unicode=yes/no" in maintenance mode to
convert a wordlist to/from unicode.
- bogolexer uses "--unicode=yes/no" to control parsing
2005-06-18
* Added FAQ entry on using bogofilter with qmail.
2005-06-11
* Output --help messages to stdout (rather than stderr) so
more can be used for paging.
2005-06-10
* TDB driver now copies TDB returned data in the traversor to
align data at proper boundaries, to avoid SIGBUS on some
architectures and performance loss on others.
2005-06-09
* Close environment after probing if it has transactions, to
conform to Berkeley DB documentation and not leak a file
descriptor.
2005-06-07
* Additional unicode support:
Added global variable encoding { E_RAW, E_UNICODE }
Added --unicode=yes/no options for bogolexer and bogoutil.
Added meta-token .ENCODING { 1=raw, 2=unicode }
0.94.14 2005-06-18 - Promoted to Stable Release

Subject: NYC-ANNOUNCE Interop City
New York Area user groups are joining forces for Interop City, an
interoperability event, with the help of the International Association
of Software Architects (IASA)! Join us for this special event sponsored
by BEA, Microsoft, Compuware and JNBridge on July 14th, where you'll
hear some of the best speakers on the subject of software
interoperability between .NET and several J2EE platforms, in addition
to some discussions on best practice approaches to interop, Web
services, and more.
Some of the user groups participating are:
- New York City Rational User Group
- BEA dev2dev

- New York Software Industry Association .NET SIG
- Northern New Jersey .NET User Group
This is a first-of-its-kind collective effort between the user groups
in the New York Area, where you'll have a chance to network with like
minds in other platforms and disciplines. This is a catered event that
will provide you with a full day of presentations, demonstrations and
dialog from a fantastic line-up of interoperability experts.
If you are interested in attending this event I also have a number of

Subject: CK-ERP v.0.13.1 released
A new release, v.0.13.1, of CK-ERP, has been posted at SourceForge.Net,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ck-erp . The new version has been
modified for multiple middleware operation. Connectors for egroupware
and phpbb are added. French translation files are also added.
This release has been tested against eGroupWare 1.0.0.007 and phpBB
2.0.15. However, if phpBB is using postgresql as the backend database
engine, the processing flow requires very frequent manual page refresh
and the combination of phpBB+postgresql is thus not advised.
Special thank and gratitude is due to Tranquil IT Systems (Messrs Denis
Cardon and Vincent Cardon) for providing the French translation, for
uncovering numerous bugs and for providing valuable suggestions to
improve on the system design.
CK-ERP is an open source accounting/ERP/CRM system that runs on top of
eGroupWare or phpBB. It comprises 19 modules - Administration, Contact
Management, Customer Relationship, Customer Self Service, Vendor
Relationship, Ledger, Bank Reconciliation, Inventory, Service, AP, AR,
PO, SO, Quotation, POS for Cashier, POS for Manager, HR, Staff Self
Service and Payroll. Operating platform can either be LAMP or LAPP.
It provides accounting and back office functionalities to SMEs and
utilizes egw to administer accounts/groups. Please report error and
suggestion to the discussion group / mailing list,
CK-ERP-en@googlegroups.com or CK-ERP-zh_CN@googlegroups.com . General
history and expected development is available at the discussion group's
Archive.
Demo is located at,
http://ck-erp.sourceforge.net (English)
http://www.ck-erp.org (Simplified Chinese)
http://ck-erp.org/phpbb/login.php (operating within phpbb)
