Installing pre-packaged libbloom

libbloom has become relatively popular and is available in various packages. Unfortunately I don't have a comprehensive list to include here. If you know of other packaging efforts, please drop me a note and I'll include links here.

I know it is available in Debian (and thus its derivatives).

Latest development snapshot

See docs/branches for branch info.

NOTE: After 1.6, the next release will be 2.0. The size bloom filter capacity will increase, which forces an incompatible change in data types, thus a new major version.

For most use cases, I recommend using the latest released version (see above) unless you really need the very latest changes.
