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.

DONATIONS
Thank you to everyone who has clicked the Donate! button and donated their
hard earned cash to me in support of POPFile. Thank you also to the people
who have contributed patches, feature requests, bug reports and translations.
I am using 0.19.0 and I have noticed speed issues with this version as well. The more items you reclassify the longer it takes. I just had a time when I had to reclassify 20 messages, and walked away to let the dogs in, made a pot of coffee, changed my kids diaper, and still sat here for a few seconds before it came back as reclassified.

CONCLUSION
Keep the ideas and bug reports coming.
John.
is it just me or is mail checking taking a whole lot longer with 19.1. Using about 5 accounts at once
Given how *little* we changed with v0.19.1 I sincerely doubt you'd see any change in speed.
Perhaps it's just you :-)

did the tray icon fixes make it into this one?

Thanks for fixing the Norton bug - 19.1 interface now works without shutting down the firewall, much appreciated.

And thanks for confirming that it works...
