Version 1.0.4 of the SpamBayes project is now available.

This is a bugfix release - it is funtionally identical to 1.0, but includes fixes for a number of bugs. We expect it to prove to be quite stable and usable by most people; as a result (and since we are hard at work on the upcoming 1.1 release) we expect that this will be the last release in the 1.0.x line. Feedback to spambayes@python.org.

The latest alpha release of 1.1 is 1.1a4. At the moment it is only available as a source release. There is no Windows installer. It is highly likely that there are new bugs in this release but if you are willing and able to give it a spin for us, that would be greatly appreciated. You might like to look at this list of things to try out.

Source Releases

The source-code releases can be used on any platform with a Python interpreter

The source-code releases can be downloaded, as either a gzipped tarball or a zip file, directly from the file releases for this project.

Prerequisites:

Either:
• Python 2.2.2 or above, or a Subversion build of python, or
• Python 2.2, 2.2.1, plus the latest email package.

Once you've downloaded and unpacked the source archive, do the regular setup.py build; setup.py install dance, then:

• if you're running Outlook2000, change to the Outlook2000 directory and run 'addin.py'. See the 'about.html' file in the Outlook2000 directory for more.
• otherwise, consult the README.txt file in the package and choose the method that suits your setup best.

Files, MD5 checksums, signatures and sizes

The signatures below were generated with GnuPG using release manager Tony Meyer's public key, which has a key id of F23F732A.

• 47077f9b6dabba3d420af88118091652 spambayes-1.0.4.exe (3,025,816 bytes, sig)
• 78c33e79888d410711ff3c7dd7e98d79 spambayes-1.0.4.tar.gz (697,781 bytes, sig)
• b8e983e9345a0cbf7b7e44f21360ef69 spambayes-1.0.4.zip (803,545 bytes, sig)

• 35494ade1bf380651bcc3077bf108310 spambayes-1.1a4.tar.gz (992,533 bytes, sig)
• sb-1.1a4.zip (1,128,015 bytes, sig)

You can import the release manager public keys by either downloading the public key file and then running

% gpg --import TonyMeyer.asc

or by grabbing the key directly from the keyserver network by running this command:

% gpg --recv-keys F23F732A

To verify the authenticity of the download, grab both the file(s) and the signature(s) (above) and then run this command:

% gpg --verify spambayes-1.0.2.exe.asc

Note that you must use the name of the signature file, and you should use the one that's appropriate to the download you're verifying.

These instructions are geared to GnuPG and command-line weenies. Suggestions are welcome for other OpenPGP applications.

The code is currently available from the SourceForge Subversion server.
