As a long-time user of Mailman, running a list of 2000+ subscribers, thank you Mark for all your work. Is there any pertinent news regarding a new major release of Mailman?

Work on Mailman 3, Postorius and Hyperkitty is progressing, but at the moment I'm not aware of any firm release dates.

Come to the hackathon announced by Terri and help us! :)

We'll probably also do another hackathon next weekend, same time and place.

I am pleased to announce the second release candidate for Mailman 2.1.16.

Python 2.4 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7 is recommended.

This release has a few new features and several bug fixed as detailed in the attached README.

Differences from the first candidate are the inclusion of the admindb summary sorting options feature and the 'author is list' feature and a bug fix for lp:1203200. The Farsi translation has also been updated.

Mailman is free software for managing email mailing lists and e-newsletters. Mailman is used for all the python.org and SourceForge.net mailing lists, as well as at hundreds of other sites.

For more information, please see:

Mailman 2.1.16rc2 can be downloaded from

https://launchpad.net/mailman/2.1/ http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/mailman/

I anticipate that the 2.1.16 final release will be in early September. Bugs found between now and then will be fixed if possible, but I hope that most if not all changes between now and then will be i18n updates. Please send any updates to the templates and/or message catalogs in the 2.1.16rc2 release directly to me no later than 1 Sept 2013.

Note that there is a minor glitch in the tarball in that the NEWS file dates the release as xx-Aug-2013 instead of 19-Jul-2013, but I didn't think it was worth uploading new files for that.

Differences from the third candidate release include a minor update to the Czech message catalog, updates to the Danish message catalog and templates, and a fix for bug LP:1235101.

The new from_is_list feature described in the README is considered experimental and subject to change in future releases.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the good release as always. Sorry to ask this, but will your Htdig integration patch for 2.1.15 also work on 2.1.16, or are the differences too great for the patch to apply successfully?

Thanks to you and all the team as always, Andrew.
