What does this plugin do?
This Joomla! component is UNUSABLE alone: other components HAVE TO USE IT. Consider this component as a Framework. It help other developers integrate Akismet in their code. This component is simply a bridge, hiding Akismet details and providing an unified way to use Akismet in Joomla 3rd party component code.

NEW: Using Akismet PHP 5 engine version 0.4 (author Alex Potsides http://www.achingbrain.net/)

• Performance - changed HTTP version from 1.1 to 1.0 (with thanks to Jan De Poorter).
• Performance - No longer issues a separate HTTP request to check validity of the API key with every instantiation.
• Added a new public method 'isKeyValid' to manually check validity of the API key passed to the constructor.
• The method 'isCommentSpam' (rather than the constructor) will now throw an exception if the API key is invalid.
• Tidied up internal structure a bit.
