SpamAssassin 3.4.3 available
SpamAssassin 3.4.3 has been released. It includes a new plugin for finding
macros in Office documents, a couple of security fixes, and various other
improvements. The project is also letting it be known that, due to the
dropping of support for rulesets with SHA-1 signatures, versions of
SpamAssassin prior to 3.4.2 will no longer be able to download rule updates
as of the beginning of March. | | 10:44p |
[$] One million ought to be enough for anybody
Programming languages generally have limits—explicit or implicit—on various
aspects of their operation. Things like the maximum length of an
identifier or the range of values that a variable can store are fairly
obvious examples, but there are others, many of which are unspecified
by the language designers and come about from various implementations of
the language. That ambiguity has consequences, so nailing down a wide
variety of limits in Python is the target of an ongoing discussion on the
python-dev mailing list. |
