Version 0.15 (2004/02/04)
-------------------------
* Documentation changes to match Buildtool 0.15.
- Removed all information about bt_make and bt_wrap.
- Added preliminar information about the new bt_logic module.
* Added a simple tutorial for developers, guiding them in the creation of
a simple project from the beginning.
Fifteenth alpha version, released on 2004/02/04.
o Finally dropped bt_make and bt_wrap, together with all compatibility
code introduced around them.
o M4 is no longer needed. It was introduced to clean up code, but it
has proven to only ofuscate it. As a side effect, bt_swcgen uses
shell scripts instead of macro files to generate system wide configu-
ration.
o Added some checks to bt_config: bt_check_hdr_time(),
bt_check_prog_cc_flag() and bt_check_prog_cxx_flag().
o Support for the `+=' operator (append text to a variable) was added
to bt_sh. This can be used to simplify syntax when writting scripts.
o Support for pkgconfig files was added to bt_pkgflags.
o Support for pkgconfig command line syntax was added to bt_pkgflags
(it is not exactly the same, but we now support operators in their
real form, like `=' or `!=', plus spaces to separate keywords).
o Multiple portability problems fixed.

just assume they do unless they're known _not_ to work. So far, only
Darwin-5.* suffers from this problem, apparently because they use some
bizarre version of zsh for /bin/sh.
GCC. If it's found under ${LOCALBASE}, then assume that it came from a
package and proactively require at least that version of GCC so that the
correct package dependencies are added.
Collection.
Jpeginfo is a utility to generate informative listings from JPEG files, and to
check JPEG files for errors. Program also supports automagic deletion of
broken JPEGs. Currently developed using Linux & SGI, but should compile on
any decent UNIX :)
Collection. Provided by fab (AT) gnux (DOT) info in PR 24268,
slightly modified and pkglinted by me.
Utility to optimize JPEG files. Provides lossless optimization
(based on optimizing the Huffman tables) and "lossy" optimization
based on setting maximum quality factor.
* New manual page
* spamprobe.cc (process_stream): Added -o tokenized option
to allow people to use an external tokenizer with spamprobe.
* SpamFilter.cc (scoreToken): Reduced sorting overhead by
pre-computing and integer sort value with sorting priorities
reflected in the value. This eliminates several calculations
inside of the sort routine.
* SpamFilter.cc (computeRatio): Capped ratios in calculations to
within MIN_PROB and MAX_PROB. Widened that range. This avoids
problems with div/0 and makes it easier to sort terms.
* spamprobe.cc (dump_words): dump command can now optionally
accept a regular expression as an argument and will only dump
terms matching the regular expression.
(purge_terms): Added purge-terms command to purge from the
database all terms matching a regular expression.
