| I am happy to announce the second beta release of Mailman 2.1.10. For
| technical reasons, there was no 'b2' release.
|
| This is a security and bug fix release and it is highly recommended
| that all sites upgrade to this version.  Mailman 2.1.10 also adds support
| for two new language translations, Hebrew and Slovak and a few new
| features.
|
| 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.

|
| Special thanks are due to Barry Warsaw and Tokio Kikuchi for much coding
| and support, Moritz Naumann for help with security issues and Jim Tittsler
| for a significant patch.
|
| Changes since 2.1.10b1 include:
|
| ~  - Fixed cron/disabled to test if bounce info is stale before disabling a
| ~    member when the threshold has been reduced.
|
| ~  - Improved processing of backup/recovery of queue files.
|
| ~  - Updated mmdsr script.
|
| ~  - Updated Vietnamese and Danish translations.
|
| And here are the major changes from 2.1.9 that were included in 2.1.10b1:
|
| ~  Security
|
| ~    - The 2.1.9 fixes for CVE-2006-3636 have been enhanced.  In
| particular,
| ~      many potential cross-site scripting attacks have are now detected in
| ~      editing templates and updating the list's info attribute via the web
| ~      admin interface.  Thanks again to Moritz Naumann for assistance with
| ~      this.
|
| ~  New Features
|
| ~    - Changed cmd_who.py to list all members if authorization is with the
| ~      list's admin or moderator password and to accept the password if the
| ~      roster is public.  Also changed the web roster to show hidden
| members
| ~      when authorization is by site or list's admin or moderator password
| ~      (1587651).
|
| ~    - Added the ability to put a list name in accept_these_nonmembers
| ~      to accept posts from members of that list (1220144).
|
| ~    - Added a new 'sibling list' feature to exclude members of another
| list
| ~      from receiving a post from this list if the other list is in the
| To: or
| ~      Cc: of the post or to include members of the other list if that
| list is
| ~      not in the To: or Cc: of the post (Patch ID 1347962).
|
| ~    - Added the admin_member_chunksize attribute to the admin General
| Options
| ~      interface (Bug 1072002, Partial RFE 782436).
|
| Internationalization
|
| ~    - Added the Hebrew translation from Dov Zamir.  This includes
| addition of
| ~      a direction ('ltr', 'rtl') to the LC_DESCRIPTIONS table.  The
| ~      add_language() function defaults direction to 'ltr' to not break
| ~      existing mm_cfg.py files.
|
| ~    - Added the Slovak translation from Martin Matuska.
