+====== 1.0.0 (December 21, 2007) ======
+<code>
+Welcome to POPFile v1.0.0
+POPFile is an email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier,
+POP3, SMTP, NNTP proxies and IMAP filter and a web interface. It runs
+on most platforms and with most email clients.
+This version is a bug fix and minor feature release.  It's also the
+first release to have the version number 1.  This is because we've
+finally decided to stop pretending that POPFile is 'beta' software :-)
+WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE v0.22.5
+. Changes to the IMAP module / Support for Gmail IMAP
+The IMAP module will now use only one connection to the IMAP server,
+instead of one connection for each watched folder. This means that
+when using IMAP mode, POPFile will be much lighter on the server and
+will even work with IMAP servers that are restrictively configured or
+if you have many buckets. As a consequence, you should now be able to
+let POPFile sort your email on Google's Gmail.
+Please refer to the setup instructions on the POPFile wiki:
+    http://getpopfile.org/wiki/experimentalmodules:imapinstructions
+. Nihongo improvements
+Japanese (Nihongo) text does not use spaces between words so POPFile
+uses a 'Nihongo Parser' to split the text into words to allow the text
+to be analysed properly. Up until now POPFile has used the 'Kakasi'
+parser when analysing Japanese text. The 1.0.0 release offers a choice
+of three parsers (Kakasi, MeCab and internal). The new
+'bayes_nihongo_parser' configuration parameter is used to specify the
+parser to be used (the default parser is Kakasi).
+The Windows installer lets the user select the Nihongo parser to be
+installed.  All of the files needed for the Kakasi and internal
+parsers are included in the installer. The MeCab package size is about
+MB (i.e. too big to include in the installer) so it will be
+downloaded from the Internet if the MeCab parser is selected when
+installing POPFile.
+Other Nihongo changes: fixed a bug that the history table in the UI
+was not being shown correctly when invalid characters were used in the
+From, To and Cc headers in Nihongo mode; fixed a bug in the shortening
+of Subjects in the history table.
+. Installer improvements
+To make it easier to add SSL support after installing POPFile the
+installer now creates an "Add/Remove Programs" entry which allows SSL
+support to be added by downloading and installing the necessary
+support files. This entry also allows the Nihongo parser to be changed
+and will download the MeCab package if necessary.
+The installer and uninstaller have been upgraded to work better when
+used on Vista, especially when run from a standard user account. Many
+of these improvements also apply to Windows XP. For example the
+uninstaller is now less likely to leave Start Menu shortcuts behind.
+. UI improvements
+Change the default skin choice to simplyblue.  Add two new skins,
+coolmint and ocean. Drop less popular skins: klingon, prjbluegrey,
+and prjsteelbeach. Merge nearly duplicate tinydefault and lrclaptop
+with smalldefault.  Add a little bit of polish to many of the others.
+Add a JavaScript Check All box for selecting messages to remove from
+history.
+. Other improvements
+Performance improvement in analyzing e-mails.  Encoded attachment file
+names are now decoded.  Fixed a bug that missed some e-mail addresses.
+WHERE TO DOWNLOAD
+    http://getpopfile.org/wiki/download
+GETTING STARTED WITH POPFILE
+An introduction to installing and using POPFile can be found in the
+QuickStart guide:
+    http://getpopfile.org/wiki/QuickStart
+SSL SUPPORT IN WINDOWS
+SSL Support is offered as one of the optional components by the
+installer. If the SSL Support option is selected the installer will
+download the necessary files during installation.
+If SSL support is not selected when installing (or upgrading) POPFile
+or if the installer was unable to download all of the SSL files then
+POPFile's "Add/Remove Programs" entry can be used to add SSL support
+to an existing installation.
+I AM USING THE CROSS PLATFORM VERSION
+POPFile requires a number of Perl modules that are available from
+CPAN.  You will need:
+   Date::Parse
+   HTML::Template
+   HTML::Tagset
+   DBD::SQLite2
+   DBI
+   TimeDate
+You can install all the required POPFile modules by getting the
+Bundle::POPFile bundle from CPAN.
+Please refer to the installation instructions on the POPFile wiki:
+   http://getpopfile.org/wiki/HowTos:CrossPlatformInstall
+Japanese users may need to install some extra programs and Perl
+modules, depending upon which Nihongo parser (wakachi-gaki program)
+they wish to use.  For more information about how to install them, see
+the POPFile wiki:
+   http://getpopfile.org/wiki/JP:HowTos:CrossPlatformInstall
+CROSS PLATFORM VERSION KNOWN ISSUES
+The current version of SQLite (v3.x) is not compatible with POPFile.
+You must use DBD:SQLite2 to access the database.
+Users of SSL on non-Windows platforms should NOT use IO::Socket::SSL
+v0.97 or v0.99.  They are known to be incompatible with POPFile; v1.07
+is the most recent release of IO::Socket::SSL that works correctly.
+WINDOWS KNOWN ISSUES
+. THE TRAYICON ON WINDOWS CAN CAUSE POPFILE TO FREEZE.  With certain
+setups, if you attempt to view the trayicon's tooltip or hover your
+cursor over it while checking or downloading mail POPFile may freeze.
+The exact cause is still unknown but it may be related to some video
+drivers. If this problem affects you turn off the trayicon.
+Due to this issue, we suggest users of the IMAP module disable the
+trayicon since a freeze may go unnoticed more easily than when using
+a mail client to make POP3 connections.
+. ON WINDOWS I WANT TO CHECK MULTIPLE EMAIL ACCOUNTS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
+Because the time taken to start a new process on Windows is long under
+Perl there is an optimization for Windows that is present by default:
+when a new connection is made between your email program and POPFile,
+POPFile handles it in the 'parent' process. This means the connect
+happens fast and mail starts downloading very quickly, but is means
+that you can only downloaded messages from one server at a time (up
+to 6 other connections will be queued up and dealt with in the order
+they arrive) and the UI is unavailable while downloading email.
+You can turn this behavior off (and get simultaneous UI/email access
+and as many email connections as you like) on the Configuration panel
+in the UI and making sure that "Allow concurrent POP3 connections:" is
+Yes, or by specifying --set pop3_force_fork=1 on the command line.
+The default behaviour (no concurrent POP3 connections) can cause email
+clients to time out if several accounts are being checked (because
+POPFile only handles one account at a time it can take a while to
+process all of the accounts).
+If SSL support is being used then the default setting (no concurrent
+POP3 connections) _MUST_ be used otherwise POPFile crashes.
