popfile v0.19.1 Windows

Notes:

Changes:

INTRODUCTION

Today's release consists of two maintenance releases to v0.18.2 and

v0.19.0.

A special thank you goes out to Sam Schinke who continues to contribute

time and energy to POPFile.

I recommend v0.19.0 because of the many improvements, but v0.18.2 is the

STABLE release for those who want rock solid reliability and want others to

do the bug hunting on the new v0.19.x line :-)

ESSENTIAL READING IF YOU ARE UPGRADING TO v0.19.1 from v0.18.x

1. BACK UP YOUR OLD INSTALLATION: POPFile makes this really easy, just copy

the entire POPFile directory somewhere. You can then safely install

POPFile v0.19.1 on top of your current installation; I just think a back up

is a sensible precaution.

2. ACCURACY MIGHT DROP FOR A SHORT WHILE: because of some changes made in the

mail parser it is possible that you might see accuracy drop initially and

you may find yourself reclassifying a few messages that used to work. This

is unfortunate but necessary to make POPFile even more accurate than before

and v0.19.1 incorporates changes that make POPFile's classification

accuracy better; however old corpuses might need a little retraining.

version?
