I am very happy to announce the release of GNU Mailman 3.0.

Over seven years in development, Mailman 3 represents a major new version,
redesigned as a suite of cooperating components which can be used to mix and
match however you want.  The core engine is now backed by a relational
database and exposes its functionality to other components via an
administrative REST+JSON API.

Our new web user interface, Postorius is Django-based, as is our new archiver
HyperKitty.  The core requires Python 3.4 while Postorius and HyperKitty
require Python 2.7.

We also have a library called mailman.client, which works in both Python 2 and
3 and is the official Python bindings to the core's REST API.  The mailman-
bundler is a set of scripts that help building out a complete Mailman 3 system
in Python virtual environments.

There are tons of new features.  See the detailed official announcement at

What is GNU Mailman?

GNU Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and
e-newsletter lists.  Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for
users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists.
Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content
filtering, digest delivery, and more.  Mailman 3 is released under the terms
of the GNU General Public License, version 3.

See the release notes, as well as links to download each component:

You probably want to start with the bundler and let it grab and install all
the other parts.
