INTRODUCTION

Today's release consists of two maintenance releases to v0.18.2 and 
v0.19.0.

A special thank you goes out to Sam Schinke who continues to contribute
time and energy to POPFile.

I recommend v0.19.0 because of the many improvements, but v0.18.2 is the 
STABLE release for those who want rock solid reliability and want others to
do the bug hunting on the new v0.19.x line :-)

ESSENTIAL READING IF YOU ARE UPGRADING TO v0.19.1 from v0.18.x

1. BACK UP YOUR OLD INSTALLATION: POPFile makes this really easy, just copy
   the entire POPFile directory somewhere.  You can then safely install
   POPFile v0.19.1 on top of your current installation; I just think a back up
   is a sensible precaution.

2. ACCURACY MIGHT DROP FOR A SHORT WHILE: because of some changes made in the
   mail parser it is possible that you might see accuracy drop initially and
   you may find yourself reclassifying a few messages that used to work.  This
   is unfortunate but necessary to make POPFile even more accurate than before
   and v0.19.1 incorporates changes that make POPFile's classification
   accuracy better; however old corpuses might need a little retraining.

UPGRADING

Just install POPFile on top of the currently installed version.  But did you
read the ESSENTIAL READING above first if you are upgrading from a pre v0.19.1
version?
