I am pleased to announce the release of Mailman 2.1.30
Python 2.6 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7, preferably 2.7.17 - the final Python 2 release, is strongly recommended.
This is a routine bug fix release with a few new features. See the attached README.txt for details.
Mailman 2.1.30 will be the last release of the Mailman 2.1 branch from the GNU Mailman project. There has been some discussion as to what this means. It means there will be no more releases from the GNU Mailman project containing any new features. There may be future patch releases to address the following:
- i18n updates.
- security issues.
- bugs affecting operation for which no satisfactory workaround exists.
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 our web site at one of:

All: trying to get an update from 2.1.20 to 2.1.30 working properly. We’ve got mailman compiled and installed and lists seem to be working nominally, but the web interface is simply not working, so hoping for some help here.
Attempting access via http://lists.ibmwr.org/mailman/admin/ results in the browser returning “You don’t have permission to access this resource"
The following lines appear in /var/log/apache2/error.log

Ownership and permissions for that binary *appear* OK to me (but clearly are not?)

Thanks.

This appears to be a web server issue rather than a Mailman issue. Did you also upgrade Apache. Note that where older versions of Apache required things like
<Directory "/var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/"> ... Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Current Apache requires
<Directory "/var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/"> ... Require all granted </Directory>
See "Run-Time Configuration Changes" at <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html>.

Thanks, Mark. I’ve been slowly coming to the came conclusion, just need to figure out the specifics of the “require all granted”. Will check out that link.
