- bug 5594: several major sa-compile fixes. major increase in overall speed; cache results between runs to further increase speed; and fix a danger of massive memory usage
- bug 5556: fix a variety of sa-compile portability issues, and support for 5.6.x perls

- bug 5476: update Bonded Sender (now Sender Score Certified) rules, and add a rule for their strictly-confirmed-opt-in-required zone
- bug 5538: remove FORGED_MUA_AOL_FROM and FORGED_AOL_TAGS entirely; they're obsolete, given the current capabilities of AOL mail user agents
- bug 5632: remove all completewhois.com DNSBL lookups, site seems to have disappeared without warning
- bug 5715: allow for more than one sa-update MIRRORED.BY file host in DNS, for redundancy

- bug 5696: sa-compile: cut regexp base strings at Unicode high codepoints, to avoid corruption of patterns containing UTF-8
- bug 5637: bayes_file_mode is handled incorrectly when creating bayes.mutex, resulting in incorrect permissions on that file; fix by Mihaly Barasz
- bug 5612: DB_File version 4.2.x has a bug that loops infinitely if files named '__db.{filename}' are present; work around. thanks to J. Nick Koston for the report and fix
- bug 5606: too-early init_learner() call causes root's user prefs file to be read when spamd is started; this is inappropriate. fix

- bug 5680: ALL_TRUSTED can fire if a trusted MSA or webmail system receives the message from an untrusted X-Originating-IP: header. fix

- bug 5728: spamd: require -u with --sql-config or --ldap-config
- bug 5682: remove FH_HOST_ALMOST_IP, FH_HOST_EQ_D_D_D_D, due to false positives and redundancy with RDNS_DYNAMIC; remove FH_HOST_EQ_D_D_D_DB due to no hits
- bug 5681: look up IP addresses found in 'X-Yahoo-Post-IP' and 'X-SenderIP' headers, too, thanks to Martin Blapp
- Bug 5589: Refined async events handling and DNS lookup completions
