Mailman 2.1.29 Release
by Mark Sapiro 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

I am not so pleased to announce the release of Mailman 2.1.29. It turned out there was a bug in the security fix in 2.1.28 that broke the web admin and listinfo overview pages. This is fixed in Mailman 2.1.29. The patch referred to below has been corrected to fix this bug. There is also a patch attached to <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1783417> which applies to 2.1.28 to fix this issue. Python 2.6 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7 is strongly recommended. Mailman 2.1.28 was a minor security fix release. It also has some i18n updates and a couple of bug fixes and adds the ability to edit list specific templates through the web admin UI in a supported language other than the list's default. See the attached README.txt for details. For details of the security issue, see the report at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1780874> which also includes a patch for those who want to fix this issue without upgrading. 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.

I heard of the upcoming release of mailman-2.1.28, so I thought it would be worthwhile to submit some patches. Attached is one small patch which fixes a lot of "msgfmt" warnings and fixes the German translation in one place. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charite Universitätsmedizin Berlin ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de Campus Benjamin Franklin https://www.charite.de Hindenburgdamm 30, 12203 Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT, Abt.

Mailman 2.1.18 Security fix release
by Mark Sapiro 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

This is a heads up. There is a recently identified minor security issue in Mailman 2.1.27 and earlier. This is not something that allows permanent compromise or information leak from your site, but is something that needs to be fixed. This issue has been given CVE ID CVE-2018-13796. I plan to release Mailman 2.1.28 on 24 July, 2018 along with details of the issue and a patch to apply to earlier releases. This is just notification of that plan for those that need to plan ahead. Also, if you are a Mailman translator and you have any updates to your translation, please submit them in some form prior to 24 July so they can be incorporated in the release. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
