We have to release 3.4.5. There have been three commits since the final preparation of 3.4.5-rc1, including the fix for the AskDNS bugs and 7875. Those seem safe enough to include in a release. Please don't commit to the 3.4 branch without a review and vote (RTC mode), which should

I'm done with the patches. I verified that I included all the patches you sent (except the one for Bug 7215 that Kevin G sent, as it looks like we are not including that in 3.4.2), and checked again that any files that are different in branch and trunk that I did not port only have the unicode

rules/*.cf in syncing 3.4 and trunk

2017-04-15 Thread Sidney Markowitz
Are any of these relevant for syncing 3.4 with trunk, or are only the files in trunk used for rule updates? These are the files in the rules directory that have differences between trunk and the 3.4 branch: 20_dnsbl_tests.cf 20_drugs.cf 20_freemail.cf 20_freemail_domains.cf 20_imageinfo.cf

Syncing 3.4 and trunk

2017-04-14 Thread Sidney Markowitz
Kevin, this question is probably for you. Should I apply thge last four changes to rules/50_scores.cf that were made in trunk to the 3.4 branch? Only the first of them mentions a bugzilla issue in the commit message, bug 7282, but I think they are all part of it and that it makes sense to port.
