Problem with 1.0a9 Windows installer?
by Kenny Pitt Feb. 11, 2004

Feb. 11, 2004

I pointed this user at the new 1.0a9 (0.9) installer because he was getting the "unable to register" error with 0.81. He sent back the following report.

The SpamBayes toolbar was still present from my source version, but all the buttons were inactive. SpamBayes appeared in the COM Add-ins list, but was unchecked and reported something about "an error occurred during load". I did a regsvr32 on the installed outlook_addin.dll and SpamBayes worked again after restarting Outlook. It looks like we may have a problem in the installer with registering the addin properly. My initial guess is that the Outlook Add-in registry entries are getting set, but the COM object itself isn't getting registered. I'm heading off to take a look at this now, but wanted to give everyone a heads up in case someone wants to pull (or hide, or whatever) the installer from SourceForge until we can sort this out. -- Kenny Pitt

Outlook Addin files on SourceForge
by Kenny Pitt Feb. 11, 2004

Feb. 11, 2004

I have a suspicion that many Outlook users who look at the SourceForge Files page will see that "Version 0.8" is still the latest file in the "Outlook Addin" section and think that the addin has not been updated. Would it make sense to list the "spambayes-1.0a9.exe" installer under both the "spambayes" and "Outlook Addin" sections? -- Kenny Pitt

I think it's worth me putting new versions of the source there before the public release that have the typo in dbexpimp's docstring fixed, otherwise this will confuse people lots. Any other requests before I put it up? =Tony Meyer

Release 1.0a9 (0.9)
by Mark Hammond Feb. 10, 2004

Feb. 10, 2004

Hi all, Tony (thanks!) and I have put together version "1.0a9 (0.9)" We went for this "dual" version number so it is clearly an upgrade for both Outlook users and source-code users. The release includes the source archives, and the 'combined binary installer'. Please see the 'Files' page at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61702 - I would appreciate any comments on the release notes, change-log, and a few success reports of the tarballs. I only just made the release active, but have not yet sent a release notice, nor announced it anywhere else. Assuming no showstoppers, I intend doing this tomorrow(ish). Of course, anyone else is free to make the announcements. I will also set the 'Outlook' package to hidden, to help remove confusion. Let me know what you think! Mark.

Small patch to Outlook2000/dialogs/FolderSelector.py
by Sean True Feb. 10, 2004

Feb. 10, 2004

Integrating this with some other code appears to reveal a bug in the code that keeps the node labels in memory. The object is returned from Pack...Item() in order to keep it the scope of the caller, but it appears that that is not enough: symptom was that the labels got splattered by other data unless they are kept in scope longer. I've got developer status, but my CVS access is extremely inconsistent, so I will toss this out and see if anyone else likes it well enough to check it in. -- Sean --- ..\..\..\spambayes-latest-cvs\Outlook2000\dialogs\FolderSelector.py Tue Dec 30 11:26:32 2003 +++ FolderSelector.py Mon Feb 9 19:06:59 2004 @@ -276,6 +276,8 @@ ): FolderSelector_Parent.__init__(self, parent, manager.dialog_parser, "IDD_FOLDER_SELECTOR") assert not single_select or selected_ids is None or len(selected_ids)<=1 + # List of things to keep in scope for a while + self.extras = [] self.single_select = single_select self.next_item_id = 1 self.item_map = {} @@ -343,6 +345,8 @@ bitmapSel, cItems, item_id)) + # Keep the buffered string info in scope + self.extras = self.extras + extras if verbose: print "Inserting item", repr(insert_buf), "-", hitem = win32gui.SendMessage(self.list, commctrl.TVM_INSERTITEM, ============== Sean True

I'm not opposed to having application-specific options, but do we definitely want to set pickle as the default for some? Tim's comments indicate that pickle isn't appropriate for Outlook, which probably means that it's not for sb_server. Imapfilter is a tricky one, since it can be run as a separate process at various intervals, or it can be run once and process at various intervals. With the former, a pickle would be bad, with the latter, probably good. I wish we knew if the changes in this release are enough to remove the majority of db errors. We should definitely get a few. =Tony Meyer

I just checked in contrib/tte.py. Here's the doc string: """ Train to exhaustion: train repeatedly on a pile of ham and spam until everything scores properly. usage %(prog)s [ -h ] -g file -s file [ -d file | -p file ] [ -m N ] -h - print this documentation and exit. -g file - take ham from file -s file - take spam from file -d file - use a database-based classifier named file -p file - use a pickle-based classifier named file -m N - train on at most N messages (nham == N/2 and nspam == N/2) See Gary Robinson's blog: http://www.garyrobinson.net/2004/02/spam_filtering_.html """ I have an unsure pile at the moment with 580 or so messages in it. I'm going to see how it does with that, varying the maximum number of messages I tte on. Skip
