All features listed in "What's New" page are part of Razor2. We had to switch off Nilsimsa temporarily because of a high rate of collisions. I'm working on modifications to the algorithm as well as comparing methodology which will be introduced as a new engine. The ETA is not known, there's a whole lot of other things I have to divide my time with. When introduced, the new algorithm will catch polymorphisms that ehash is not already detecting. > Razor V2 seems to be short on documentation, especially that which notes the > reliability of its components, and long on promises.

That sounds like a very off-handed statement coming from someone who doesn't even use the software. To operate a service that supports more than a 100,000 users checking millions of emails every day takes exactly that: "Daily progress on useful code", most of which is not visible in the client side software. If you undertook a networked project of that size, which I assume you haven't, you'd know what I am talking about. cheers, vipul. -- Vipul Ved Prakash | "The future is here, it's just not Software Design Artist | widely distributed yet." http://vipul.net/ | -- William Gibson ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Razor-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/razor-users
