Correct to name 2.1a2 a stable release? Somewhere on the lists Barry Warsaw didn't give a garanty for a smooth upgrade path between the alpha releases. Or is 2.1 on the horizon, so that it's more work to change the web page ;-)

You're actually the second person to notice this and report it on this list. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2001-September/009557.ht...
Barry's plan was to fix the web page at list.org. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2001-September/009558.ht...
If I remember correctly he's also the release manager for the latest version of Python, so I'm sure he's up to his eyeballs currently. IMHO this is a very good reason for not hitting this particular item. Therefore, I have included a patch below against index.ht (yes that's a patch against the template file) for the list.org web-site. The patch should be self-explanatory.

I haven't actually run it through ht2html so I apologize beforehand if it breaks. I would have provided patches for the index of the MM21 directory but didn't have access to the templates. Barry, I hope this isn't stepping on your toes, and I hope it's useful.
Later,
