Kai,
Looking in the Changes a couple of fixes, none seem to be spamd related,
but one is ok_languages specific, the others are minor tweaks for bayes:
The first only matters if you're using ok_languages. They restricted the
size of body text fed into TextCat for language classification.
See:
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3776
The next flattens hash information passed to plugins a bit. Seems to trim
about 1.5 mb off according to one report
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3876
And another tunes how SA handles hashing raw tokens hashing to reduce
memory a bit:

They had nothing to do with spamd.

According to changelog:
bug 3806: do not run DNSBL and SPF tests as root on non-linux UNIX
platforms, due to a stupid bug in Sys::Hostname::Long that renamesrenames
the hostname
Does this mean if spamd is running as root, it runs the tests as someone
other than root, or that it doesn't run the tests at all ?

Current public releases: http://www.apache.org/dist/
Releases that are intended for current public download should be placed on
www.apache.org. This is the main public release site and the site that is
mirrored world-wide. [minotaur.apache.org:/www/www.apache.org/dist/]
So if we only want the latest release there, that's fine, but we'll need to
put up a link to the http://archive.apache.org/dist/spamassassin/ site for
older releases.

I think leaving the most recent 2 stable releases is fine.

I'd rather use the update parameter then risk people getting really confused
with "-current". We already need to push out a new download page with the
latest version on it, so it's not a big deal to update the parameter.

Another couple of notes about the release. Apparently the
dist/spamassassin/source files for 3.0.0 were removed -- so the only version
available for download now is 3.0.1. Don't we want to keep the older
version(s) available for at least some period of time?
Also, the dist/spamassassin/source files were removed, but not the symlinks to
them in dist/spamassassin -- so there were 12 bad symlinks lying around.
I've already received a complaint note about it, so I removed the bad symlinks.
I really don't understand why we put the source files in the source directory,
and then have symlinks for them all in the parent directory. Just put the
source files in the parent directory!

FWIW, tags like -current in the download file are a bit of a drag. I'd
prefer seeing a return to the original -version.tar.gz
#ls
Mail-SpamAssassin-1.5.tar.gz
Mail-SpamAssassin-2.40.tar.gz
Mail-SpamAssassin-2.41.tar.gz
...
Mail-SpamAssassin-2.70-cvs.tar.gz
Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.0-cvs.tar.gz
Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.0-pre3.tar.gz
Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.0-pre4.tar.gz
Mail-SpamAssassin-current.tar.gz
My, how things have grown. The 1.5 tar.gz was 118k.

FYI, I changed the download page around since it was confusing. It pointed to
-current, and it's also listing all the mirrors, not just the updated ones.
So basically people would have to download the file to find out it's just
3.0.0.
So now it specifically points to 3.0.1, and I updated the download update
time to be 10/22 instead of 10/21 so the defaults will work.
