Subject: bogofilter-0.96.2 - 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, ...

are particularly important. They describe changes that are
incompatible with earlier releases or are significantly
different.
!!!!!!!! READ THE RELEASE.NOTES !!!!!!!!
===============================================================================
0.96.2 2005-09-25 (a.k.a. 1.0.0-rc2)
2005-09-25
* SQLite3 - no longer using EXCLUSIVE in BEGIN TRANSACTION as
it seems unnecessary and it causes trouble on MAC OSX
2005-09-19
* Require sqlite 3.2.6 and print warning if older version installed, to
avoid people running into critical bugs in older sqlite3 versions.
The test can be defeated by setting the environment variable
BF_USE_OLD_SQLITE to any value. Also warn on 32-bit machines.
2005-09-16
* Fix bogus t.maint failures on some systems that don't use bash for
/bin/sh (for instance, FreeBSD).
2005-09-11
* Resurrected atexit() code to ensure databases have been
closed (needed for rare cases on RISC OS).
2005-09-07
* Perform unicode conversion after base64 and quoted-printable
decoding. (Thanks to Mikhael Zabaluev for the patch)
2005-09-06
* (sqlite3 based builds only) Print reminder to register tokens before
scoring if preparing the SELECT statement fails.
* Avoid "obsolete option -I- used, please use -iquote instead" nagging
from GCC version 4. (Heck, autoconf has even reached include lines
that worked for ages.)
2005-09-05
* Replace mime stack by linked list (to correct gentoo bug #69893).
* Fix configure's --with-included-gsl option. (Thanks to
Torsten Veller for the patch)
0.96.1 2005-09-05 (a.k.a. 1.0.0-rc1)
2005-08-24
* Fix incompatibility with SunOS make(1S), adding a missing trailing
backslash character to src/Makefile.am.
2005-08-17
* Update RISC OS versions of Makefile and config.h
0.96.0 2005-08-15
2005-08-14
* When directory name is argument for bogoutil's dump/load
option, use "wordlist.db" to avoid a sigsegv.
* Remove support for TDB, the Trivial Database.
2005-08-05
* db_lock.c: rename "cell_t" to "bf_cell_t" to avoid clashing with
IRIX's cell_t. Reported by Daichi Kawahata.
* configure.ac: MIPS doesn't have extended FP precisiopn. Patch by
Daichi Kawahata.
2005-08-03
* bogotune - Restored code for recommending db_cachesize value.
2005-07-10
* Bogofilter now complains if sqlite 3.2.1 or older is used on a
machine with a word width greater than 32 bits, but tries to proceed.
It may however crash with SIGBUS as sqlite 3.2.1 performs unaligned
64-bit accesses. sqlite 3.2.2 or newer is strongly recommended.
2005-07-04
* Updated history of stable releases (file RELEASES).
2005-07-03
* Switched t.encoding test to use the POSIX utility cksum,
rather than OS-specific utilities such as md5sum or md5.
0.95.2 2005-06-30
2005-07-08 - Promoted to Stable Release

From: Henrik Theiling <theiling@absint.com>
Hi!
I'd like to announce the release of:
Erwin Data Structure Library
Version 2.0.279
(c) Henrik Theiling
Freely Distributable Open Source Code
Main Site: http://www.theiling.de/projects/erwin.html
Download: http://www.theiling.de/downloads/idx.cgi/erwin
Subscribe: http://freshmeat.net/projects/erwin2/
Changes
=======
A convenience function for removing zero elements was added.
Description
===========
The Erwin library is a very efficient and robust data structure
template library for C and C++.
No templates are used; a Perl script generates C files. Vectors
(dynamic arrays), lists, and hash tables (maps) of arbitrary key and
value types are provided.
Several tools are included:
- for auto-generating a C interface around C++ libraries,
- C++ extensions like slots/properties,
- symbol (=hashed string) management,
- sophisticated assertion macros, and
- documentation extraction.
The generated libraries are tested under Linux, Solaris, NetBSD,
MacOS X and MS Windows.
Enjoy!
**Henrik
