Subject: ANNOUNCE: Apache SpamAssassin 3.4.0 available
Release Notes -- Apache SpamAssassin -- Version 3.4.0
Introduction
------------
This is a major release. It introduces nearly two years of bug
fixes and
features including the Bayes Redis back-end (bug 6879), eDNS
changes (bug
6910), Native IPv6 Support, numerous URIBL.pm changes/features
and a
small API change in libspamc (bug 6562) with many other subtle
changes.
IPv6 Note: This was tested on an IPv6-only host (works fine
except Razor,
using an external DNS recursive server on a dual-stack host).
And SpamAssassin was tested on a Raspberry PI (ARM6, Raspbian /
Debian 7.0
Wheezy, perl 5.14.2) ... yes it's 20 times slower than an
i7-960, but all
tests pass! (all long & network tests, some stress tests
need increased
timing margins).
Overall, this release has been tested in many production-level
environments for nearly a year. It is highly recommended and
stable.
NOTE: Complete changes are available at

fresh rules.
See the INSTALL and UPGRADE files in the distribution for
important
installation notes.
GPG Verification Procedure
--------------------------
The release files also have a .asc accompanying them. The file
serves
as an external GPG signature for the given release file. The
signing
key is available via the wwwkeys.pgp.net key server, as well as
http://www.apache.org/dist/spamassassin/KEYS
The key information is:
pub 4096R/F7D39814 2009-12-02
Key fingerprint = D809 9BC7 9E17 D7E4 9BC2 1E31 FDE5
2F40 F7D3
9814
uid SpamAssassin Project Management Committee
<[email protected]>
uid SpamAssassin Signing Key (Code Signing Key,
replacement for 1024D/265FA05B)
<[email protected]>
sub 4096R/7B3265A5 2009-12-02
To verify a release file, download the file with the
accompanying .asc
file and run the following commands:
gpg -v --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-key F7D39814
gpg --verify Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.0-pre1.tar.bz2.asc
gpg --fingerprint F7D39814
Then verify that the key matches the signature.
Note that older versions of gnupg may not be able to complete
the steps
above.
Specifically, GnuPG v1.0.6, 1.0.7 & 1.2.6 failed while
v1.4.11 worked
flawlessly.
See http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html for more
information on
verifying Apache releases.
About Apache SpamAssassin
-------------------------
Apache SpamAssassin is a mature, widely-deployed open source
project
that serves as a mail filter to identify spam. SpamAssassin uses
a
variety of mechanisms including mail header and text analysis,
Bayesian
filtering, DNS blocklists, and collaborative filtering
databases. In
addition, Apache SpamAssassin has a modular architecture that
allows
other technologies to be quickly incorporated as an addition or
as a
replacement for existing methods.
Apache SpamAssassin typically runs on a server, classifies and
labels
spam before it reaches your mailbox, while allowing other
components of
a mail system to act on its results.
Most of the Apache SpamAssassin is written in Perl, with heavily
traversed code paths carefully optimized. Benefits are
portability,
robustness and facilitated maintenance. It can run on a wide
variety of
POSIX platforms.
The server and the Perl library feels at home on Unix and Linux
platforms, and reportedly also works on MS Windows systems under
ActivePerl.

------------------------------------
Established in 1999, The Apache Software Foundation provides
organizational, legal, and financial support for more than 100
freely-available, collaboratively-developed Open Source
projects. The
pragmatic Apache License enables individual and commercial users
to
easily deploy Apache software; the Foundation's intellectual
property
framework limits the legal exposure of its 2,500+ contributors.
