Cool. Why are the RPMs "courtesy of Craig Hughes" then, and point to a FTP site with 2.20 as the latest? Or was 2.40 the only newer release since then (a recent release I take it)?
I'm not the official distribution site, but I seem to be faster at making RPMs than Craig. The history, BTW, is that Craig made the first 2.[12]* RPMs, and I modified them a bit somewhere around 2.20. They stayed about the same for 2.3, and then completely changed for 2.4 which gathered some errors which I then fixed earlier today. <shrug> It's an interesting project, Justin Mason (the original author) took 6-12 months off to travel around Asia and handed the project to Craig. I think that was around 2.1 or 2.2. Things have been progressing, 2.21, then 2.30, then 2.31, where it stayed for quite a while. Craig decided to start Deersoft for SpamAssassin Pro (Windows-based plugins for Outlook/Exchange), and somewhere in the same period Justin came back. So I'm now not sure who's actually in control of the project, but it's progressing still. I think this is part of the reason why 2.41 is due out shortly. There's been a whole heck of a lot of work put into the 2.40 code, and then the release sorta doesn't go out smoothly, and bugs are found (I'd like to slap the people who changed my Razor2 code) that apparently weren't fully tested with all the other changes. I'm sure it'll get better as we go on. :) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "With a PC, I always felt limited by the software available. On Unix, I am limited only by my knowledge." - Peter Schoenster
