I am very happy to announce the release of the seventh alpha for Mailman 3.0, code named "Mission". Here are some of the highlights of a release with lots of new stuff (a more detailed NEWS.txt file excerpt is below).
- Significant improvements to the subscription model. Users can now subscribe to mailing lists with either an explicit address or a "preferred" address. When a user changes her preferred address, all of her subscriptions automatically track this change. All this and more have also all been exposed to the REST API.
- New rules for member and non-member moderation. This effectively ports and updates Mailman 2's moderation rules to the Mailman 3 framework.
- Support for SMTP AUTH added.
- The default password encryption scheme can be defined in the configuration file, and all passwords are by default encrypted (using SSHA1).
- 'bin/mailman status' command added to provide command line status of the master queue runner process.
- 'bin/mailman info' now prints the REST API root url and credentials.
- Basic Auth support for the REST API was added. (thanks Jimmy Bergman)
- Python 2.7 is supported.
I'm really excited about this release because it will provide a great baseline for our Google Summer of Code students. If you've been putting off taking a look at Mailman 3, I encourage you to download it and play with it. My goal is for a final release on 11.11.11 so there will not be too many more alphas. Now is the best time to influence our design decisions.
The tarball can be downloaded from Launchpad or the Cheeseshop:

The full documentation is also online:
Great stride!
Now, on my FreeBSD 8.2 Server, I am eager to try this version out.
I am following the steps.
