[SA-Announce] SpamAssassin 2.60 rc 1 released

OK, this is 2.60 release candidate 1; it should work pretty excellently,
but we want to give it a day or two before it gets an official thumbs-up.
Download it from http://SpamAssassin.org/downloads.html .

  5d23aa5ddb1c5381281cd88bf734341f  Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60.tar.gz

(there's also GPG signatures in http://SpamAssassin.org/released/ btw.)

Changes:

- DNSBLs overhauled; lots of new lists, including SORBS and SpamCop BL

- RBL timeouts are now handled much more efficiently; if one RBL is taking
  much longer than all the others, it will be ignored

- now reduces amount of IP addresses queried by inferring trust
  relationships between Received headers

- generalised Received-header parser to more easily detect HELO string
  forgery and faked relay lines

- default report updated to list the hostname of the machine where
  SpamAssassin is running; also asks installer for administrative address
  or URL, to reduce user confusion

- workaround for red hat kernel with NPTL reporting "application bug" in
  spamd due to use of waitpid() when SIGCHLD is set to SIG_IGN

- new Bayes tweaks -- tokenization of partial address elements.

- dccifd support added.

- much more flexible header rewriting, with a simple template system

- lots of bugs fixed and new rules added. ;)
