I am happy to announce the first release candidate of Mailman 2.1.12.
Mailman 2.1.12 is a minor bug fix and Python 2.6 compatibility release.
The minimum Python for this release is Python 2.4 and it is compatible with Python through 2.6. The previous Mailman releases are not compatible with Python 2.6.
I have discovered a compatibility issue between Mailman 2.1.12rc1 and Python 2.4. As a result of the Python 2.6 compatibility changes, we no longer install the email 2.5.8 package in Mailman's pythonlib if Python's email version is greater. This creates a problem when Python's email is 3.0.1 which is the Python 2.4 package. There is no problem with the email 4.0.x packages in Python 2.5+. The following patch to Scrubber.py works around the incompatibility and will be included in subsequent 2.1.12 releases. === modified file 'Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py' --- Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py 2008-12-01 04:30:43 +0000 +++ Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py 2009-01-12 17:45:14 +0000 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# Copyright (C) 2001-2008 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. +# Copyright (C) 2001-2009 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or # modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License @@ -167,6 +167,9 @@ # message by a text (scrubbing). del msg['content-type'] del msg['content-transfer-encoding'] + if isinstance(charset, unicode): + # email 3.0.1 (python 2.4) doesn't like unicode + charset = charset.encode('us-ascii') msg.set_payload(text, charset) -- Mark Sapiro <mark@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
