! New in Alpha Release 4
  ======================
  
  Outlook Plugin
  --------------
!  o Display a message for "Delete as Spam" or "Recover from Spam" when
!    SpamBayes is not enabled.
!  o The toolbar is now initialized when "Outlook Today" is the default view.
  
! POP3 Proxy
! ----------
!  o Fix a bug where long attachments would be broken.
!  o If an exception occurs parsing a message, recover and append a new
!    'exception' header.
!    (This will be added to other SpamBayes applications by the next
!     release).
!  o Stop including the trailing dot in messages.
  
  IMAP Filter
  -----------
!  o In imapfilter, try to append without flags if appending fails.
!  o Fix the -i switch in imapfilter and an import error.
!  o Don't try and get password from options if -p is specified in imapfilter.
! 
! Developer
! ---------
!  o Various changes/improvements to storage.py.
!    Note that this includes a fix for a potentially serious bug introduced
!    in a3 which could result in incorrect token counts.
  
  General
  -------
!  o The web interface (used by pop3proxy and imapfilter) now shows the
!    correct date and time in the footer.
!  o A new stripper to squash yet another way of hiding content in HTML spam,
!    like Ere<frame><noframes>ywl55</noframes></frame>ctions to hide
!    Erections.
  
  
  Transition
--- 10,101 ----
  noted in the "Transition" section.
  
! New in Alpha Release 5
  ======================
  
  Outlook Plugin
  --------------
!  o Added a diagnostics dialog with functions to make it easier for users to
!    help developers track down and fix bugs.
!  o Added a 'timer' method of determining when to filter mail that should work
!    better with Outlook's rule system.
!  o Added a button on the Advanced tab of the dialog to display the SpamBayes
!    data folder.
!  o Moved "Filter Now" to an item on the drop down menu on the toolbar.
!  o Items that can be filtered and trained include "IPM.Note" (normal messages)
!    and "IPM.Anti-Virus*" (virus alerts by some software).
!  o Changed the default filter action to "move" (instead of "untouched").
!  o Added a Wizard to assist with initial configuration (this will present
!    itself when necessary).
!  o Changed to allow filtering to be enabled, even if no training has been done.
!  o Added a "New Folder" button to the folder selector dialog.
!  o Massive changes to the dialog system (which should fix some problems),
!    including changing the configuration dialog to a tabbed interface.
!  o "Show Clues" now shows the percentage, as well as the raw score.
!  o Added a "Help" menu to the drop down menu, with various information.
!  o Added the ability to check for the latest version via an item on the drop
!    down menu.
!  o Hopefully, the "unread flag" issue is now fixed.
!  o Fixed many problems with working on systems where English is not the
!    default language, or where profile names have non-English characters.
  
! POP3 Proxy / SMTP Proxy / POP3 Proxy Service
! --------------------------------------------
!  o Starting and stopping the POP3 Proxy service (for Windows NT, Windows
!    2000 and Windows XP users) has been improved.  Most noticeably, this
!    means that the SMTP Proxy will start (if it is needed) as well.
!  o Improve the "notate to" and "notate subject" options, so that ham and
!    unsure messages can also be (optionally) notated in these fields.
!  o Add the ability to skip caching messages that are over a (user
!    configurable) size, so that you can keep the size of the cache
!    directories smaller, once these messages are correctly classified.
!  o Added the ability to skip caching messages that have a precedence of
!    "bulk" (most mailing list messages), so that you can keep the size
!    of the cache directories (and review list) smaller, once these messages
!    are correctly classified.
!  o Fixed the "ASCII decoding error" problem.
!  o The SMTP proxy tries harder to pass on the command formatted exactly
!    as it was given.  This should make it more reliable.
!  o Add the ability to have the SMTP proxy train on the message sent to it,
!    rather than looking up the id in the cache (which is still possible, and
!    generally the better option).
!  o Removed the ability to add the SpamBayes identification number to the
!    body of messages (it can still be added as a header).
!  o The review messages page now puts unsure messages at the top.
!  o The POP3 proxy should now work with fetchmail.
!  o You can once again specify local addresses as well as ports for the
!    POP3 proxy to listen on (was broken in 1.0a3 and 1.0a4).
  
  IMAP Filter
  -----------
!  o If you didn't use the -p switch to enter your password
!    interactively, imapfilter would try and get it from the options,
!    but if it wasn't there yet (because you hadn't done the setup yet),
!    it would crash.  This is now fixed.
  
  General
  -------
!  o Added the ability to store the SpamBayes database in a mySQL or
!    postreSGL database table (currently supported by hammiefilter and
!    the POP3 proxy).
!  o Removed the ability to use the 'dumbdbm' as the storage method.
!    (See the FAQ for reasons why).
!  o We now allow the '@' and '=' characters in paths.
!  o Added a simple n-way classifier using a cascade of binary SpamBayes
!    classifiers.
!  o Added version information to the web interface.
!  o Fixed the yellow colour of the header boxes in the web interface.
!  o Fixed restoring defaults from the web interface.
!  o Added a missing line break in the status pane on the web interface
!    when there are no proxies configured.
!  o Prevent the "Show clues" links on the web interface's training page
!    from word-wrapping and making all the table rows two lines high.
  
+ Developer
+ ---------
+  o Created a directory for test suites, including a storage.py test.
+  o An empty 'allowed values' now allows an empty string.
+  o Add a get_option method, so an option instance itself can be fetched.
+  o Support fetching the "latest" set of version data from the spambayes
+    web site.
