Folks, I've just released Mailman 2.0.4 which is simply a patch release so that Mailman works better with Python 2.1. Mailman 2.0.3 had a few constructs which caused warnings when run with Python 2.1. The unfortunate part is that those warnings could occur in the qrunner process which tended to cause cron to bombard the system administrators with email. If you upgrade your Python to 2.1, you should definitely upgrade to Mailman 2.0.4, otherwise consider it optional. As usual, I'm releasing this as both a complete tarball and as a patch against Mailman 2.0.3. You /must/ update your source to 2.0.3 before applying the 2.0.4 patch. Since the patch is small, I'm including it in this message. To apply, cd into your 2.0.4 source tree and apply it like so: % patch -p0 < mailman-2.0.3-2.0.4.txt Currently both http://mailman.sourceforge.net and http://www.list.org are updated, and I expect the gnu.org site to be updated soon as well. The release information on SF is at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=31693 See also http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman http://www.list.org http://mailman.sourceforge.net Enjoy, -Barry [From the NEWS file] 2.0.4 (18-Apr-2001) Python 2.1 compatibility release. There were a few questionable constructs and uses of deprecated modules that caused annoying warnings when used with Python 2.1. This release quiets those warnings.
