Actually, we just released 3.0 today. :)

We don't really have this right now.  I think we'll start to fill out the bug
tracker with features or fixes that need to be forward ported to Mailman 3.
Some things you won't miss, like passwords in clear text, monthly password
reminders, having multiple accounts to manage subscriptions with different
email addresses, no built-in archive searching, restrictions on naming lists
in multiple domains, etc.

You can do it from the source tree.  We build the docs with Sphinx and I
believe it has a PDF option.  We likely won't officially distribute PDFs.
