I am pleased to announce the second release candidate for Mailman
2.1.21. This fixes a serious bug in the first release candidate in that
the few new list attributes weren't initialized for new lists. 2.1.21rc1
would work with lists migrated from older releases but lists created
under that release were unusable.
If you installed 2.1.21rc1, you should upgrade to 2.1.21rc2, and if you
created new lists under 2.1.21rc1, see the attached fix_list procedure.
Python 2.4 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7 is strongly recommended.
This release includes a few new features and several bug fixes. See the
attached README for details.
Associated with these changes are six new and two modified strings in
the i18n message catalogs. I strongly encourage anyone with an interest
in translations of Mailman to get this release and help with updating
the translations for the final 2.1.21 release which is planned for the
end of February.
This candidate is expected to be quite stable. All the changes since
2.1.20 have been installed in the python.org Mailman as they were
developed and are running without known issues. The only reason why this
is a candidate and not a final release is to allow time for i18n updates
to be in the final.
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.
