I've released version 2.1.3 of Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager.
Mailman is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Version 2.1.3 is a bug fix release which also contains support for
four new languages: Ukrainian, Serbian, Euskara (Basque), and Danish.
This release also contains a fix for a cross-site scripting
vulnerability, as well as improved queue runner performancey.  See the
links below for a detailed list of changes.

I recommend all sites running versions of the 2.1.x line upgrade to
the new version.

Mailman is free software that enables users to manage email mailing
lists and e-newsletters.  Its integrated web interface provides
easy-to-use access for list members and list administrators.  Mailman
supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content
filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, and more.

Mailman is compatible with most web servers, web browsers, and mail
servers.  It runs on any Unix-like operating system.  Mailman 2.1.3
requires Python 2.1.3 or newer.  To install Mailman from source, you
will need a C compiler.

For more information on Mailman, including links to file downloads,
please see any of the Mailman mirror web pages:

Patches and source tarballs are available at

There are email lists (managed by Mailman, of course!) for both
Mailman users and developers.  See the web sites above for details.

Cheers,
-Barry
