Subject: [Mailman-Announce] RELEASED Mailman 2.1 beta 2
Message-ID: <15574.3383.393550.438002@anthem.wooz.org>

I've released Mailman 2.1 beta 2; see below for a list of changes
since version 2.1 beta 1.  There have been lots of bug fixes, Korean
language support aded, and a couple of new features (a bit of a thaw
in the feature freeze ;).

Remember that discussions about version 2.1 are preferred on
mailman-developers.  I plan on moving mailman-developers over to the
new version tomorrow, and if that works well, the other mailman-*
mailing lists at python.org too.

Enjoy,
-Barry

2.1 beta 2 (05-May-2002)

    Lots of bug fixing, and the following new features and changes:

    - A "de-mime" content filter feature has been added.  This
      oft-requested feature allows you to specify MIME types that
      Mailman should strip off of any messages before they're posted
      to the list.  You can also optionally convert text/html to
      text/plain (by default, through lynx if it's available).

    - Changes to the way the RFC 2919 and 2369 headers (i.e. the
      List-*: headers) are added:
          o List-Id: is always added
          o List-Post:, List-Help:, List-Subscribe:,
            List-Unsubscribe:, and List-Archive: are only added to
            posting messages.
          o X-List-Administrivia: is only added to messages Mailman
            creates and sends out of its own accord.

      Also, if the site administrator allows it, list owners can
      suppress the addition of all the List-*: headers.  List owners
      can also separately suppress the List-Post: header for
      announce-only lists.

    - A new framework for email commands has been added.  This allows
      you to easily add, delete, or change the email commands that
      Mailman understands, on a per-site, per-list, or even per-user
      basis.

    - Users can now change their digest delivery type from MIME to
      plain text globally, for all lists they are subscribed to.

    - No language select pulldowns are shown if the list only supports
      one language.

    - More mylist-admin eradication.

    - Several performance improvements in the bounce qrunner, one of
      which is to make it run only once per minute instead of once per
      second.

    - Korean language support as been added.

    - Gatewaying from news -> mail uses its connections to the nntpd
      more efficiently.

    - In bin/add_members, -n/--non-digest-members-file command line
      switch is deprecated in favor of -r/--regular-members-file.

    - bin/sync_members grew a -g/--goodbye-msg switch.

Subject: [Mailman-Announce] RELEASED Mailman 2.0.11
Message-ID: <15593.15073.61526.436079@anthem.wooz.org>

I'm announcing the release of Mailman 2.0.11 which fixes two
cross-site scripting exploits, one reported by "office" in the admin
login page, and another reported by Tristan Roddis in the Pipermail
index summaries.

It is recommended that all sites upgrade their 2.0.x systems to this
version.

As usual, I've made both full source tarballs and patches available.
See

    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103

for links to download all the patches and the source tarball.  If you
decide to install the patches, please do read the release notes first:
