+
+Release Notes -- Apache SpamAssassin -- Version 3.4.0
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This is a major release. It introduces over two years of bug fixes and
+features since the release of SpamAssassin 3.3.2 on June 16, 2011.
+3.4.0 includes the Bayes Redis (http://redis.io/) back-end (bug 6879),
+EDNS0 changes (bug 6910), native IPv6 support, numerous URIBL.pm changes
+or features and a small API change in libspamc (bug 6562) with many other
+subtle changes.
+
+SpamAssassin was tested on perl 5.18.1, and (out of curiosity) also
+on a Raspberry Pi (ARM6, Raspbian / Debian 7.0 Wheezy, perl 5.14.2)
+... yes, it is 20 times slower compared to i7-960 CPU, but all tests
+pass!
+
+Overall, this release has been tested on many production-level
+environments for nearly a year, including testing on an IPv6-only host.
+It is highly recommended and stable.
+
+NOTE: Complete changes are available at
+http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.4/Changes
+
+
+Notable Sendmail Bug
+--------------------
+
+Sendmail 8.14.5 and below contain a canonicalization misfeature / bug
+that can cause DKIM failures.
+See https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6462.
+
+
+Compatibility with version 3.3.2
+--------------------------------
+
+* DNS queries generated by SpamAssassin now enable option EDNS0 in query
+packets and specify a buffer size of 4096 bytes by default. This allows
+DNS replies larger than 512 bytes to be returned in one UDP datagram,
+avoiding a need for re-issuing a failed query over a TCP protocol. This
+default setting is well suited if a DNS resolver (i.e. a recursive DNS
+server) is located on the same LAN as a host running SpamAssassin, which
+is the usual setup for all but perhaps some home uses of SpamAssassin.
+
+The option should be disabled (by 'dns_options noedns0') when a recursive
+DNS server is only reachable through some old-fashioned firewall or through
+some picky router with deep packet inspection which bans DNS UDP messages
+larger than 512 bytes, or blocks fragmented UDP datagrams.
+
+The 'dns_options' setting is documented in Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf POD
+or man page, more details in bug 6910 and bug 6862.
+
+
+* A default setting for option 'dns_available' was changed from 'test' to
+'yes' (bug 6770, bug 6769), so SpamAssassin now assumes by default that
+it is running on a host with an internet connection and a working DNS
+resolver. If this is not the case, please configure this option explicitly.
+
+The change avoids surprises on an otherwise well connected host which may
+experience a temporary DNS unavailability at the system startup time or a
+temporary network outage when spamd was starting, and the initial failed
+test would disable DNS queries permanently. The option is documented in
+the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf POD or man page.
+
+
+* When Bayes classification is in use and messages are 'learned' as spam
+or ham and stored in a database, the Bayes plugin generates internal
+message IDs of learned messages and stores them in a 'seen' database to
+avoid re-learning duplicates and accidental un-learning messages that
+were not previously learned. With changes in bug 5185, the calculation
+of message IDs in a bayes 'seen' database has changed, so new code can
+no longer associate new messages with those learned before the change.
+
+Note that this change does not affect recognition of old tokens and the
+classification algorithm, only duplicate detection and unlearning of old
+messages is affected.
+
+Because of this change, if you use Bayes and you are upgrading from a
+version prior to 3.4.0, you may consider wiping your Bayes database
+and starting fresh.
+
+However, this is not mandatory. If you choose to keep your current
+database tokens, these are the ramifications:
+
+1 - If you re-process emails that have already been learned before,
+ it will create duplicate entries because of the new msg_id format.
+ The duplicates will expire, eventually, and should cause minimal
+ impact unless it occurs frequently.
+
+2 - If you try and unlearn or reclassify an email processed prior to the
+ upgrade, the system will be unable to do so because of the new msg_id
+ format. If unlearning a message (that was learned before the change)
+ is important, consider just clearing your Bayes store and starting
+ from scratch.
+
+
+Dependency changes since version 3.3.2
+--------------------------------------
+
+Dependency on the following Perl modules were dropped: Net::Ident,
+IP::Country::Fast and IP::Country.
+
+Dependency on a perl module LWP::UserAgent as used by sa-update is now
+made optional if any of programs curl, wget, or fetch are available.
+
+New optional dependencies on the following Perl modules were introduced:
+
+- new optional dependency on Geo::IP in a RelayCountry plugin (bug 6599);
+ for backward compatibility IP::Country::Fast is used if Geo::IP is
+ not installed
+
+- new optional dependency on IO::Socket::IP for a cleaner IP support
+ regardless of a protocol family (IPv4 and IPv6)
+
+- new optional dependency on Net::Patricia to speed up lookups on
+ internal_networks, trusted_networks or msa_networks when these lists
+ contain a larger number of entries
+
+- new optional dependency on programs curl, wget, or a FreeBSD fetch.
+ sa-update will use any of these external programs to download rule
+ updates, either over IPv6 or over IPv4. Any of these three programs
+ suffices - the installation procedure is currently unclear on this,
+ its warning may be understood as if all three programs are needed,
+ which is not the case
+
+- minimal required version of NetAddr::IP was bumped to 4.010
+
+
+Internal changes potentially affecting third party software
+using Mail::SpamAssassin library
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+A caller is now given a choice of calling srand() by itself (e.g. before
+forking) or let a SpamAssassin library do it as before. Avoiding redundant
+initialization of a perl's random number generator can prevent unnecessary
+entropy loss. It is controlled by option skip_prng_reseeding in a call
+to Mail::SpamAssassin::new(). The change was documented in bug 6690.
+
+The Mail::SpamAssassin::parser can now accept a message also as a string
+reference, avoiding one copy in memory. Documented in bug 6686.
+
+A caller may pass the original mail body size to Mail::SpamAssassin::parse
+through the suppl_attrib argument's field 'body_size'. This mail body size
+is accessible to the eval rule check_body_length. It can be useful when a
+caller only passes a truncated message to SpamAssassin. Documented in bug
+6830.
+
+A new plugin callback "prefork_init" was introduced, which should be called
+by a master process (e.g. spamd) before forking multiple child processes.
+For compatibility this call is currently optional, but recommended for new
+versions. Currently only a Redis backend for Bayes checks will benefit from
+being notified before a fork. Documented in bug 6942.
+
+
+Notable bug fixes
+-----------------
+
+The sa-update program now avoids repeatedly downloading same rules if
+subsequent unpacking of rules and updating fails. Documented in bug 6655.
+
+Several incompatibilities with newer versions of a perl module Net::DNS
+as used by sa-update and by the SpamAssassin library were fixed.
+See Net::DNS problem [rt.cpan.org #83451].
+
+A perl module Razor agent clobbers entropy of a random number generator by
+re-initializing the generator on every call. The SpamAssassin Razor plugin
+now provides a workaround, preserving entropy across calls to Razor2 agent.
+
+A workaround in BayesStore/MySQL.pm was added for a MySQL server bug,
+see http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=46675 .
+
+Documentation was fixed: trailing dots in DNSBL zone names are not required
+since version 3.1.0 of Mail::SpamAssassin (September 2005).
+
+
+Notable features:
+=================
+
+Redis database backend for a Bayes database
+-------------------------------------------
+
+In addition to existing backends, the 3.4.0 introduces support for keeping
+a Bayes database on a Redis server, either running locally, or accessed
+over network. Similar to SQL backends, the database may be concurrently
+used by several hosts running SpamAssassin.
+
+The current implementation only supports a global Bayes database, i.e.
+per-recipient sub-databases are not supported. The Redis 2.6.* server
+supports access over IPv4 or over a Unix socket, starting with version
+2.8.0 also IPv6 is supported. Bear in mind that Redis server only offers
+limited access controls, so it is advisable to let the Redis server bind
+to a loopback interface only, or to use other mechanisms to limit access,
+such as local firewall rules.
+
+The Redis backend for Bayes can put a Lua scripting support in a Redis
+server to good use, improving performance. The Lua support is available
+in Redis server since version 2.6. In absence of a Lua support, the Redis
+backend uses batched (pipelined) traditional Redis commands, so it should
+work with a Redis server version 2.4 (untested), although this is not
+recommended for busy sites.
+
+Expiration of token and 'seen' message id entries is left to the Redis
+server. There is no provision for manually expiring a database, so it is
+highly recommended to leave the setting bayes_auto_expire to its default
+value 1 (i.e. enabled).
+
+Example configuration:
+
+ bayes_store_module Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::Redis
+ bayes_sql_dsn server=127.0.0.1:6379;password=foo;database=2
+ bayes_token_ttl 21d
+ bayes_seen_ttl 8d
+ bayes_auto_expire 1
+
+
+Improved support for IPv6
+-------------------------
+
+The rules-updating program sa-update and its infrastructure is now usable
+over either IPv4 or IPv6, including from an IPv6-only hosts (bug 6654).
+
+SpamAssassin is now usable on an IPv6-only host: affects installation,
+self-tests, rule updates, client, server, and a command-line spamassassin.
+
+Command line options -4 and -6 were added to prefer/choose/force IPv4 or
+IPv6 in programs spamassassin, spamd, spamc, and sa-update.
+
+Command line options --listen and --allowed-ips in spamd can now accept
+IPv6 addresses.
+
+Preferably a perl module IO::Socket::IP is used (if it is available) for
+network communication regardless of a protocol family - for DNS queries,
+by spamd server side, and by a client code in Mail::SpamAssassin::Client.
+As a fallback when the module IO::Socket::IP is unavailable, an older
+module IO::Socket::INET6 is used, or eventually the IO::Socket::INET is
+used as last resort.
+
+If spamd fails to start with an 'Address already in use' message, please
+install perl module IO::Socket::IP, or deintall IO::Socket::INET6, or
+specify a socket bind address explicitly with a spamd --listen option.
+See bug 6953 for details.
+
+The spamd server can now simultaneously listen on multiple sockets,
+possibly in different protocol domains (Unix sockets, INET or INET6
+protocol families.
+
+DnsResolver was updated allowing it to work on an IPv6-only host (bug 6653)
+
+A plugin RelayCountry now uses module Geo::IP and its database of IPv6
+addresses GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION_V6 when available.
+
+The following configuration options were extended to accept IPv6 addresses:
+dns_server, trusted_networks, internal_networks, msa_networks, (but not yet
+the whitelist_from_rcvd), and their defaults were adjusted accordingly.
+
+The parser code of Received header fields can now deal with IPv6 addresses
+in a mail header section.
+
+The AutoWhitelist plugin was updated and can now deal with IPv6 addresses.
+
+Installation unit tests were updated to prevent them from failing on an
+IPv6-only host.
+
+
+New command-line options
+------------------------
+
+New command-line option for spamd: added an option --listen (or -i),
+which can be specified multiple times and allows spamd to accept requests
+over multiple INET (IPv4) or INET6 (IPv6) or UNIX sockets. See bug 6841,
+and see also option --port.
+
+New command-line option for spamc: -X (or --unavailable-tempfail) allows
+spamc to return EX_TEMPFAIL instead of EX_UNAVAILABLE when using option -x.
+
+As already noted in the 'Improved support for IPv6' section, options -4
+and -6 were added to programs spamassassin, spamd, spamc, and sa-update.
+
+The sa-update utility can now take multiple -v or --verbose options to
+increase verbosity.
+
+The sa-learn command has a new option option --max-size .
+
+
+New configuration options
+-------------------------
+
+Plugin/URIDNSBL: new tflags options 'a' and 'ns' were introduced. They are
+documented in the Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL POD or man page.
+
+Plugin/AutoLearnThreshold: new option autolearn_force was added. It is
+documented in the Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold POD or
+man page.
+
+Plugin/ASN: new options asn_prefix and clear_asn_lookups were added.
+They are documented in Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ASN POD or man page.
+
+
+The following new options, as implemented by various plugins or by
+other modules, are all documented in the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf POD
+or man page:
+
+- Plugin/WLBLEval: new configuration options were added: enlist_uri_host,
+delist_uri_host, with shorthands blacklist_uri_host and whitelist_uri_host
+and an associated eval rule check_uri_host_listed.
+
+- Configuration options dns_query_restriction (allow|deny) and
+clear_dns_query_restriction were added (bug 6884).
+
+- A 'dns_options' setting accepts new sub-options 'dns0x20' and 'edns'.
+
+- Added option 'dns_server' which specifies an IP address of a recursive
+DNS server (i.e. DNS resolver) and optionally its port number.
+
+- Added options dns_local_ports_permit, dns_local_ports_avoid and
+dns_local_ports_none to control source port local ranges available to
+DNS queries
+
+- Added the following sub-options to the tflags setting: autolearn_force,
+maxhits=N, ips_only, domains_only, a, ns.
+
+- The option whitelist_from_rcvd can now take an IP address as its second
+argument (instead of a domain name), which can be useful for whitelisting
+a sending mailer which has no reverse DNS mapping.
+
+
+
+ArchiveIterator has new options opt_max_size and opt_from_regex. They are
+documented in Mail::SpamAssassin::ArchiveIterator POD or man page.
+
+A new tag (macro) _RULESVERSION_ was added. It expands to a comma-separated
+list of rules versions, retrieved from an '# UPDATE version' comment in
+rules files and can be used in an 'add_header' configuration setting.
+
+
+New plugins
+-----------
+
+A new plugin AskDNS was introduced.
+
+Using a DNS query template as specified in a parameter of an askdns rule,
+the plugin replaces tag names as found in the template with their values
+and launches DNS queries as soon as tag values become available. When DNS
+responses trickle in, filters them according to the requested DNS resource
+record type and an optional subrule filtering expression, yielding a rule
+hit if a response meets filtering conditions.
+
+
+Optimizations
+-------------
+
+Several smaller performance optimizations were introduced, among others:
+bug 6508 (uses Net::Patricia if available), bug 6854 (base64 attachments),
+bug 6915 (get_tag speedup).
+
+The DNS client code module now caches queries and replies for the duration
+of processing one mail message. Duplicate DNS queries by different rules
+which happen to query the same DNS resource are now avoided.

+About Apache SpamAssassin
+-------------------------
+
+Apache SpamAssassin is a mature, widely-deployed open source project
+that serves as a mail filter to identify spam. SpamAssassin uses a
+variety of mechanisms including mail header and text analysis, Bayesian
+filtering, DNS blocklists, and collaborative filtering databases. In
+addition, Apache SpamAssassin has a modular architecture that allows
+other technologies to be quickly incorporated as an addition or as a
+replacement for existing methods.
+
+Apache SpamAssassin typically runs on a server, classifies and labels
+spam before it reaches your mailbox, while allowing other components of
+a mail system to act on its results.
+
+Most of the Apache SpamAssassin is written in Perl, with heavily
+traversed code paths carefully optimized. Benefits are portability,
+robustness and facilitated maintenance. It can run on a wide variety of
+POSIX platforms.
+
+The server and the Perl library feels at home on Unix and Linux
+platforms, and reportedly also works on MS Windows systems under ActivePerl.
