 + Folks,
    
-<code>Folks,</code>+ It's been five days, it must be time for a POPFile release... Here's what's in v0.17.3.
    
-<code>It's been five days, it must be time for a POPFile release... Here's what's in v0.17.3.</code>+  1. UI pages are no longer cached by browser so you don't have to force refreshes 
 +     (particularly of the History page).  (Thanks to djjames for the fix suggestion) 
 +     
 +  2. New Security tab in the UI that gathers together all the security features in one 
 +     place. (Thanks to sschinke for beating the security bandwagon) 
 +     
 +  3. New Stealth <nowiki>Mode/Server</nowiki> Mode for both POP3 interface and the HTTP (UI) sockets. By 
 +     default POPFile is stealthed and can only be contacted from your machine.  You can 
 +     open up access to POP3 and UI access with two command line options -localpop and  
 +     -localui (set to 1 by default, set to 0 for remote access) and through the UI on  
 +     the Security tab. (Thanks to sschinke for pointing out an error in the stealth code) 
 +     
 +  4. History page has striping to make it easier to read. (Thanks for zonk3r for the   
 +     suggestion and for getting POPFile on Slashdot and making my life a living hell :-) 
 +     
 +  5. Configurable TCP connection timeout (see the Configuration page) so that slow 
 +     POP3 servers are given time to respond to POPFile's requests for a connection. 
 +     (Thanks to ajrtome for suggesting this addition) 
 +     
 +  6. Session keys in the web-based UI.  This prevents you from having your POPFile 
 +     configuration messed up by an evildoer who sends you a URL on your local  
 +     machine that messes up POPFile through the UI. 
 +     
 +  7. Added Next and Previous buttons on the History page for navigating the message 
 +     history. 
 +     
 +  8. I've reorganized the Buckets page to make the things people do often appear 
 +     nearer the top. 
 +     
 +  9. Removed the Top 10 Words code and output as it was producing errorneous output 
 +     and I need to rework the underlying datastructures to make them more efficient 
 +     before getting the Top 10 correct.  (Thanks for biljir for the bug report) 
 +     
 + 10. Added new Statistics to measure the accuracy of POPFile.  POPFile now keeps  
 +     track of the number of messages it has analyzed and the number of times you 
 +     had to reclassify a message.  Statistics are kept after 100 messages have been 
 +     downloaded.
