The comment on the change is:
man page uses term "automatic whitelist", so add that for keyword searches

  == Introduction ==
  
- The auto-whitelist, or AWL, tracks scores for your regular correspondents in a small on-disk database. In 3.1, it is a plugin, loaded by default in the file {{{v310.pre}}}. In 3.0, it is enabled by default and turned off with the configuration setting {{{use_auto_whitelist 0}}}.  In earlier versions, it is enabled using the -a flag to spamassassin or spamd.

  The AWL is actually a very simple system. In short, the AWL is a score averaging system. It keeps track of the historical average of a sender, and pushes any subsequent mail towards that average.
