3.1.3 fixes a remote code execution vulnerability if spamd is run with the
"--vpopmail" and "-P" options.  If either/both of those options are not
used, there is no vulnerability.  There was also a fix for the userstate
directory and prefs file not being created.

Changelog:

- bug 4926: given a certain set of parameters to spamd and a specially
  formatted input message, users could cause spamd to execute arbitrary
  commands as the spamd user
- bug 4932: the userstate dir and userprefs file would not be created
  under certain conditions.

Something like that.  I update the front page after the release mail is sent
out so I can include a link to the release announcement on the main page.
However, since the apache webserver isn't the same machine that we generate
the pages on, we have to wait for rsync to run.

The number is a timestamp.  In theory, the automatically chosen mirror will
have synced at a time greater than or equal to the one specified.  At the
moment it looks like the mirrors chosen haven't updated, which is fairly
annoying. :(

Ok, I see. I guessed you send it out only once it's up everywhere. BTW, it 
seems a simple http://spamassassin.apache.org/downloads.cgi results in the 
same output than using the revision no. or what that extra stuff is. 
(actually, it doesn't matter what string is after the ?, it just seems to 
get ignored. Should it work that way?)
