Hi Mailman-Users, -Developers and -i18ners,

Mailman 2.1.8b1 was released for beta test. Talks are going around on the start of 2.2 after the release of 2.1.8 the final of 2.1-maint branch. I really want to call this final than beta but we should take careful steps.

Please download it from Sourceforge file area: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103

Cheers,

Tokio

Here is a history of user visible changes to Mailman.

2.1.8b1 (23-Mar-2006)

Bug fixes and other patches

 - Bouncers support added: 'unknown user', Microsoft SMTPSVC, 

Prodigy.net and several others.

 - Updated email library to 2.5.7 which will encode payload into 

qp/base64 upon setting. This enabled backing out the scrubber related patches including 'X-Mailman-Scrubbed' header in 2.1.7.

 - Fix SpamDetect.py potential hold/reject loop problem.

 - A warning message from email package to the stderr can cause error
   in Logging because stderr may be detached from the process during
   the qrunner run.  We chose not to output errors to stderr but to
   the logs/error if the process is running under mailmanctl subprocess.

 - DKIM header cleansing was separated from Cleanse.py and added to
   -owner messages too.

 - Fixes: Lose Topics when go directly to topics URL (1194419).
   UnicodeError running bin/arch (1395683).  edithtml.py missing import
   (1400128).  Bad escape in cleanarch.  Wrong timezone in list archive
