New Features
+ - There is a new mm_cfg.py setting SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET which will put
+ a dynamically generated, hidden hash in the listinfo subscribe form and
+ check it upon submission. Setting this will prevent automated processes
+ (bots) from successfully POSTing web subscribes without first retrieving
+ and parsing the form from the listinfo page. Note that enabling this
+ will break ant static subscribe forms on your site. See the description
+ in Defaults.py for more info. (LP: 1082746)
