Hi folks,
Mailman 1.0 release candidate 1 (1.0rc1) has just been uploaded to
www.list.org. Barring any major screwups by me, this will be the
final 1.0 release. The next step is to create the GNU web pages. I
just want to personally thank everyone who's helped with ideas,
contributions, suggestions, and support in getting us to where we
are.
Here are a few things to note about this release:
- We have a logo contest winner! By a narrow margin, Dragon's logo
has won. My thanks to the other 3 logo creators; in different ways
I liked them all, and they are all much better than /I/ could ever
have done!
Mailman will now display Dragon's small logo on (most) generated
pages; I may have missed a few, but those will all be fixed when we
revamp the page designs after 1.0.
You need to read the instructions in the INSTALL file for putting
mailman.gif in a place that your Web server can find them, and for
setting up the img src URL. Comments on how to improve this manual
installation step would be appreciated.
- There is a new cron/mailpasswd script which groups users by virtual
domains if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is true (the default).
While I've tested this feature, I would /really/ appreciate some
more detailed testing by you folks who run multiple virtual domains
(hi Greg S. :-). Please, let's not wait until June 1 to find out
something is broken, but also be careful not to spam too many of
your users!
- If anybody feels like they are being left out of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS file, or have any other updates for this file,
please send them directly to me. I haven't kept up with this as
well as I should have, so don't be shy. :-)
That's all I can think of. Grab the tarball from
http://www.list.org/mailman.tar.gz
Enjoy,
-Barry
P.S. I'll probably somewhat unresponsive to the mailing lists for a
while. I need to concentrate on getting the next JPython release
out.
