From ta-meyer at ihug.co.nz Sat Jun 26 03:13:01 2004 From: ta-meyer at ihug.co.nz (Tony Meyer) Date: Sat Jun 26 03:13:09 2004 Subject: [Spambayes-announce] ANNOUNCE: SpamBayes release 1.0rc2 Message-ID: <1ED4ECF91CDED24C8D012BCF2B034F1304677FE2@its-xchg4.massey.ac.nz> The SpamBayes team is pleased to announce the latest release of SpamBayes - 1.0rc2. As is now usual, this is both a release of the source code and of an installation program for all Microsoft Windows users. The Windows installation program will install either the Outlook add-in (for Microsoft Outlook users), or the SpamBayes server program (for all other mail client users, including Microsoft Outlook Express). All Windows users (including existing users of the Outlook add-in) are encouraged to use the installation program. If you wish to use the source-code version, you will also need to install Python - see README.txt in the source tree for more information. This release fixes a number of reasonably minor bugs in the last release; however, we still highly recommend that existing users upgrade. For a detailed description of everything (well, everything we remember) that has changed since the last release, you can view our WHAT_IS_NEW.txt file, either online, or in the source distribution. Get it via the 'Download' page at http://www.spambayes.org/download.html Enjoy the new release and your spam-free mailbox :-) Thanks to everyone involved in this release, particularly, and as usual, Mark Hammond for putting most of this release together! Tony. (on behalf of the SpamBayes team) --- What is SpamBayes? --- The SpamBayes project is working on developing a Bayesian (of sorts) anti-spam filter (in Python), initially based on the work of Paul Graham. The major difference between this and other, similar projects is the emphasis on testing newer approaches to scoring messages. The project includes a number of different applications, all using the same core code, ranging from a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook, to a POP3 proxy, to various command-line tools.
