  is released.
  
+ New in 1.1 Alpha 3
+ ==================
+ 
+ 
+ --------------------------------------------
+ ** Incompatible changes and Transitioning **
+ --------------------------------------------
+ 
+ There should be no incompatible changes since 1.1a2, though users new to the
+ 1.1 series should pay careful attention to the database changes introduced
+ in 1.1a2.

+ 
+ Feature Requests Added
+ ======================
+ No feature requests tracked via the Sourceforge system were added
+ in this release.
+ 
+ 
+ Experimental Options
+ ====================
+ 
+ In addition to the experimental options listed for the 1.1a2 release, four
+ more new experimental options were added to SpamBayes.  They all need
+ further testing.
+ 
+   o x-short_runs - If true, generate tokens based on max number of short
+     word runs. Short words are anything of length < the skip_max_word_size
+     option.  Normally they are skipped, but one common spam technique spells
+     words like 'V m I n A o G p RA' to try and avoid exposing them to
+     content filters.
+ 
+   o x-lookup_ip - If true, generate IP address tokens from hostnames.  This
+     requires PyDNS (http://pydns.sourceforge.net/).
+ 
+   o x-image_size - If true, generate tokens based on the size of the largest
+     attached image.
+ 
+   o x-crack_images - A lot of recent spam contains the entire message
+     embedded in one or more attached images.  This option, if true,
+     generates tokens based on the (hopefully) text content contained in any
+     images in each message.  The current support is minimal, relies on the
+     installation of ocrad (http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ocrad.html) and
+     the Python Imaging Library (a.k.a. PIL, available at
+     http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/).  It has not yet been tested on
+     Windows, but for brave souls there is a simple zip file binary of ocrad
+     called "ocrad-cygwin" on the SpamBayes download page for Windows users
+     who can't build it themselves.  PIL has its own Windows binary
+     installers specific to versions of Python as far back as 2.1.
