[Spambayes] updating from 1.0.4 to 1.1a3

[Roland Hordos]

I upgraded 1.0.4 to 1.1a3 using the Outlook addin, which runs a utility
to convert the database format from 1.0 to 1.1 upon installation.

The 1.1a3 has not been catching the graphics spam either, definitely the
key will be integrating the OCR stuff.

thanks, Roland;

I run SpamBayes from the CVS repository and never uninstall, so I
suspect
you'll be okay just installing 1.1a3 over 1.0.4.  You will also need to
install PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) and ocrad
(http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ocrad.html) to take advantage of the
OCR
capabilities.  You should probably also install PyDNS
(http://pydns.sourceforge.net/) to get the domain-name-to-ip-address
mapping.  It's unfortunate that there are external dependencies, but we
don't have the resources to reinvent a bunch of different wheels.
Sourceforge doesn't emphasize the release notes, but they are there:

 
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=442102&group_id=
61702

and should be at least glanced at.
