Hello all,
just to make it official: he iXhash plugin has now reached version
1.5.5. Recent changes are:
- Adam Stephens noted that hash#3 would be checked even though it ahd
not been computed in the first place.
In other words: Hash #2 would be checked against twice. This should be
corrected, saves a DNS query.
- Above problems stem from a mis-fix of some problems discovered by
Bernd Holzinger and Larry Nedry,
especially with hashing routine #3 not returning a return value.
- Most importantly, version 1.5.3 fixed a problem some users here
recently reported with SpamAssassin/iXhash eating up CPU.
Bernd Holzinger (regex Part 1) and Jan Schmidt proposed a modified
regular expression that prevents Perl from sometimes excessive
backtracking...
All users of iXhash should update to the new version - and thanks a lot
for the guys above for problem reports and fixes.
Dirk
