[wp-hackers] Akismet Plugin Changed?

[Otto]

I believe that the release version of WordPress is connected to the
trunk version of Akismet. So whenever WordPress gets a new release
built, the latest version of Akismet is included, whether the version
number gets bumped or not.

The log for Akismet [1] shows that there's only been 3 or 4 changes in
the last 3 months. Probably not serious enough changes to warrant
releasing a new version number yet.
