Some things you won't miss, like passwords in clear text, monthly password reminders, having multiple accounts to manage subscriptions with different email addresses, no built-in archive searching, restrictions on naming lists in multiple domains, etc.
Lastly, the documentation for 3.0.x seems to be a good way at http://gnu-mailman.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ would be nicer if there was a way to generate .pdf from the content therein.
You can do it from the source tree. We build the docs with Sphinx and I believe it has a PDF option. We likely won't officially distribute PDFs.

What would be nice is if there is some ETA as to when 3.0 will be released to the general public. Are there going to be another 2-3-4 RC releases before 3.0 is ready ?
Actually, we just released 3.0 today. :)
While this is good to know, is there a matrix of features somewhere which shows features of mailman 2.x vs mailman 3.0 . I am unable to find such a page in the wiki or perhaps I didn't search enough.
We don't really have this right now. I think we'll start to fill out the bug tracker with features or fixes that need to be forward ported to Mailman
Hi Barry:
Just to be clear, this is a stable fully working version of Mailman 3.0? I tried setting up Mailman 3 on a CentOS server about 2 weeks ago and had a number of issues including listinfo pages not working (404 errors), no clear directions on setting up users, various bugs such as internal server errors. The server admin that I had hired informed me there was a number of python related bugs and he felt Mailman 3 was not ready for production use.
I am ready to give this another try but I want to make sure that this version will be a full working version of Mailman 3.
Thanks, Brian
