■リリースノート

Changes in v0.21.1

This release was prompted by a number of users who saw very
long corpus conversion times when upgrading to v0.21.0. This
has been fixed along with a small number of others things:

1. Updated Arabic translation
2. Updated installer to handle corpus upgrade problems better
3. Logger always uses system specific line endings
4. A side effect of fixing the upgrade slowness is that
reclassification will be faster.
5. Made FAQ, ID and (stealth mode) localizable
6. Make old bucket detection more robust
7. Fix problem on NextStep with directory creation
8. Fix slurp_ so that it doesn't break CRLF on slow links.

All of the information in the v0.21.0 release notes still
applies, you can read them here:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=358366

Because of #8 above I'm recommending this as a good upgrade for
everyone using v0.21.0 as well as users of older versions.

John.


Welcome to POPFile v0.21.0

This version consists of a major update to v0.20.1 with many improvements
and bug fixes:

1. Multi-user phase 1

POPFile now recognizes two environment variables (POPFILE_ROOT and
POPFILE_USER) which can be used to customize the location of POPFile
and the location of its per-user data. POPFile *no longer* has to be
run with the current working directory set to where popfile.pl is
installed.

POPFILE_ROOT: this is the full path to the popfile.pl file. Once
set you can run POPFile from any directory and it will find its
modules using POPFILE_ROOT

POPFILE_USER: this is where POPFile will keep its per-user data (i.e.
the database and history). This means that a single installation
of POPFile can be used with multiple users. Just specify a different
directory in POPFILE_USER for each user and run POPFile once per user.

In a future release POPFile will support a single instance of POPFile
with multiple users sharing the same database (this is known as
Multi-user Phase 2 and you can read more in the POPFile Roadmap---see
below for link)

2. Switch to SQL database

In v0.20.0 POPFile switched from storing all its information in flat
files to using BerkeleyDB. BerkeleyDB has proved to be not stable
enough on Windows 98 in certain cases, for that reason and to
prepare for Multi-user Phase 2, the underlying data has been moved
into an SQL database. POPFile currently by default uses SQLite but
can be successfully used with other SQL databases like MySQL.

(SQLite can be found on the web at http://www.sqlite.com/ and is
public domain software.)

The schema for POPFile can be found in Classifier/popfile.sql for
those that want to load it into their own SQL database. If you start
using POPFile with a database we don't currently support please let
me know (e.g. anyone want to try Oracle?). POPFile *should* work
with any SQL database supported by Perl's DBI mechanism.

3. UI improvements

The global options for Subject Modification, X-Text-Classification
insertion and X-POPFile-Link insertion have been removed and replaced
with individual options on a per bucket basis to give greater choice
in configuring POPFile.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of the elimination of the global parameters
you will need to check and set/unset the individual bucket parameters
for Subject Modification, X-Text-Classification and X-POPFile-Link.
Visit the Buckets page to configure each bucket to your liking.

The 'unclassified' bucket is now visible in the UI so that you can see
how many messages were unclassified, and configure header modification.
This also means that unclassified messages are counted in the accuracy
statistics; previously they were not counted which could have skewed
the accuracy statistics if there were unclassified messages.

The history "page" bar has been simplified so that it uses a fixed
amount of screen space, while making navigation easy. Filters and
searches on the history are now persistent, for example you can click
on the Buckets page and return to the History page without losing your
filter or search settings.

The UI password is now stored as a one-way hash and is no longer ever
displayed or stored in plain text.

The Buckets page has been modified to only show the 'distinct word'
count per bucket and to (finally :-) show the total number of distinct
words in the database. Previously we showed two counts with confusing
titles: now we show the true number of words in the database, not the
"word counts" (which was the number of times each word occurred).

Another language has been added to the list of interface localizations:
POPFile is now available in our second right-to-left language, Arabic.

4. Change to command line

If you are using the command line to configure POPFile there has been
a major change in the way it is parsed. The old style (for example,
perl popfile.pl -pop3_port 110) has been deprecated and replaced with
a proper getopt style command line. We now have a single -- parameter:
--set which is used to set POPFile configuration options on the command
line. For example 'perl popfile.pl -pop3_port 110' would be replaced
with 'perl popfile.pl --set pop3_port=110'. Note that existing scripts
will continue to work since the old style is merely deprecated, but they
should be upgraded as support for the old style is not guaranteed for
all future versions.

5. Enable/disable modules

Each POPFile module can now be disabled or enabled with command line
options: for example if you don't need the optional XMLRPC module loaded
it's possible to specify --set xmlrpc_enabled=0 and it will be unloaded.

6. Anti-spam improvements

We've recently seen spam start to use CSS to obscure messages and fool
filters like POPFile; in response, this version of POPFile does analysis
of CSS in HTML encoded messages. POPFile now correctly uses the
SpamAssassin headers to make POPFile more efficient when used in
conjunction with SpamAssassin. We now also look at TLDs (Top Level
Domains) and store them as pseudowords (most useful for TLDs like .biz).

It's possible that you might see a drop in accuracy as your corpus gets
trained up on the new anti-spam features. This drop in accuracy will
be corrected once you've retrained POPFile a little.

7. POPFile Documentation Project

In addition since v0.20.1 a lot of work has gone into a set of web pages
called the 'POPFile Documentation Project' that includes FAQs, setup guides,
etc., please visit:

http://popfile.sf.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl


ESSENTIAL READING IF YOU ARE UPGRADING TO v0.21.0

1. BACK UP YOUR OLD INSTALLATION: POPFile makes this really easy, just copy
the entire POPFile directory somewhere. You can then safely install
POPFile v0.21.0 on top of your current installation. The installer will
automatically create a backup of your existing corpus and configuration file;
I just think a full back up is a sensible precaution.

2. IF YOU ARE RUNNING WINDOWS: Please read the section below I AM RUNNING
WINDOWS AND NEED TO CHECK MULTIPLE EMAIL ACCOUNTS SIMULTANEOUSLY

3. ON WINDOWS POPFILE IS AN EXE. Windows users will now be able to see
POPFile running in the Task Manager with an executable called popfileXX.exe
where the XX is one of f, if, b, ib depending on configuration. POPFile
is started by running runpopfile.exe which chooses the appropriate popfileXX.exe

This might cause your firewall to ask about giving popfileXX.exe permissions,
in addition if you had allowed Perl permissions in your firewall they are
NO LONGER needed.


I AM RUNNING WINDOWS AND NEED TO CHECK MULTIPLE EMAIL ACCOUNTS SIMULTANEOUSLY

Because the time taken to start a new process on Windows is long under Perl
there is an optimization for Windows that is active by default: when a new
connection is made between your email program and POPFile, POPFile handles it
in the 'parent' process. This means that the connect happens fast and mail
starts downloading very quickly, but is means that you can only downloaded
messages from one server at a time (up to 6 other connections will be queued
up and dealt with in the order they arrive) and the UI is unavailable while
downloading email.

You can turn this behavior off (and get simultaneous UI/email access and as
many email connections as you like) by going to the Configuration panel in
the UI and making sure that "Allow concurrent POP3 connections:" is set to
Yes, or by specifying --set pop3_force_fork=1 on the command line.


SPECIAL NOTES FOR WINDOWS USERS

POPFile works best if the POPFILE_ROOT and POPFILE_USER environment variables
use lowercase short file name format. For example, instead of using
C:?Program Files?POPFile you should use c:?progra~1?popfile. The use of lower
case is *very important* if an existing flat file or BerkeleyDB corpus is to
be converted.

The short file name format is not very user friendly, so the Windows installer
makes it easy to create suitable environment variables. The Windows installer
assumes that each POPFile user will have different POPFILE_USER settings, and
provides some simple utilities to make it easy to to create these new
environment variables.

When the installer is run, it automatically creates the necessary lowercase
short file name format environment variables for the user running the
installer. This data is stored in a user-specific part of the registry.

The "Run POPFile" shortcuts created by the installer in the Start Menu (and,
optionally, in the StartUp folder) start the 'runpopfile.exe' program which
is responsible for ensuring that POPFILE_ROOT and POPFILE_USER have the correct
values before calling the 'popfile.exe' program which starts POPFile.

If 'runpopfile.exe' is run by a user who does not yet have any POPFile
settings in the registry, the 'Add POPFile User' wizard will be started if it
is available. [This wizard is only available if POPFile was installed by a
user with 'Admin' rights]

This wizard lets the user choose a location for their POPFile data and offers
to reconfigure any suitable Outlook Express, Outlook or Eudora email accounts
for use with POPFile. If any email settings are changed, the wizard will save
the data needed to restore the original settings. After this, the wizard will
start POPFile by calling 'popfile.exe'.

Windows 9x supports system-wide environment variables which are defined in
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Normally to change the value of these environment variables
AUTOEXEC.BAT has to be updated and the computer rebooted. The
'runpopfile.exe' program avoids the need to reboot Windows 9x systems in
order to switch between different sets of user data (users just need to log
on and log off as normal).

The 'Add POPFile User' wizard only offers some simple features at present,
as it is still under development. For example there is very little error
checking in the current version.


I AM USING THE CROSS PLATFORM VERSION

POPFile requires a number of Perl modules that are available from CPAN. New
in v0.21.0 are the need for the following:

DBI
DBD::SQLite
Digest::Base
Digest::MD5
HTML::Tagset

You may also need:

BerkeleyDB (if you are upgrading from v0.20.x)
Text::Kakasi (if you want Japanese language support)
Encode (if you want Japanese language support)

Notes on installing the cross platform version can be found here:

http://popfile.sf.net/cgi-bin/wiki/pl?HowTos/CrossPlatformInstall


I LIKE TO LIVE DANGEROUSLY

In a future version POPFile will add official support for message
classification through the SMTP and NNTP (Usenet news) protocols. There are
currently proxy modules for these protocols that work with v0.21.0, but
they have not been fully tested. If you are interested in getting them get
them here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/popfile/engine/Proxy/SMTP.pm?rev=1.26
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/popfile/engine/Proxy/NNTP.pm?rev=1.25

and place them in POPFile's Proxy/ directory.
