FYI: [Razor-users] Announce: razor-agents 2.66

[Michele Neylon :: Blacknight Solutions]

> Folks,
>
> I have released version 2.66 of Razor Agents. This release
> improves accuracy and provides privacy enhancements.  I would
> urge everyone to upgrade soon as possible.  Here's the link
> to the tarball:

> .gz?downlo ad
>
> Here's the changelog:
>
>        2.66 (December 02, 2004)
>
>        o   Introduced support for country domain
> canonicalization in the
>            Whiplash signature scheme. This means domains like
>            foo.co.uk would be extracted correctly by Whiplash. This
>            change affords a consider- able improvement in accuracy.
>
>        o   Modified the revocation logic to do signature-only
>            communications with the server. All versions of
> razor-agents
> prior to this sent
>            the entire message on razor-revoke, and even
> though the backend
>            would drop the messages after computing
> signatures, this entailed a
>            privacy risk. From this version on razor-agents
> will _never_ send
>            the contents of a revoked message to the backend servers.
>
>        o   Fixed a bug in "se" (supported engines) computation, which
>            was bro- ken when the "se" mask was larger than 8 bits.
> This would sometimes
>            disable the use of engine 4 (ehash). This fix
> would also afford an
>            increase in accuracy due to ehash being used everytime.
>
>        o   Fixed a bug in report by message. Version 2.61 would drop
>            MIME headers on certain spam messages which would cause
> the backend to
>            ignore these messages as malformed.
>
> Cheers,
> Vipul
