+2.1.6 (30-May-2005)
 
-    - Mail-to-news gateway now strips subject prefix off from a response
-      by a mail user if news_prefix_subject_too is not set.
+  Security
 
     - Critical security patch for path traversal vulnerability in private
       archive script  (CAN-2005-0202).
 
-    - Date and Message-Id headers are added for digests. (1116952)
+    - Added the ability for Mailman generated passwords (both member and list
+      admin) to be more cryptographically secure.  See new configuration
+      variables USER_FRIENDLY_PASSWORDS, MEMBER_PASSWORD_LENGTH, and
+      ADMIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH.  Also added a new bin/withlist script called
+      reset_pw.py which can be used to reset all member passwords.  Passwords
+      generated by Mailman are now 8 characters by default for members, and 10
+      characters for list administrators.
 
-    - List owners can now cusomize the non-member rejection notice from
-      admin/<listname>/privacy/sender page. (1107169)
+    - A potential cross-site scripting hole in the driver script has been
+      closed.  Thanks to Florian Weimer for its discovery.  Also, turn
+      STEALTH_MODE on by default.
 
-    - Most of the installation instructions have been moved to a latex
-      document.  See admin/www/mailman-install/index.html for details.
+  Internationalization
+
+    - Chinese languages are now supported.  They have been moved from 'big5'
+      and 'gb' to 'zh_TW' and 'zh_CN' respectively for compliance to the IANA
+      spec.  Note, however, that the character sets were changed from 'Big5'
+      or 'GB2312' to 'UTF-8' to cope with the insufficient codecs support in
+      Python 2.3 and earlier.  You may have to install Chinese capable codecs
+      (like CJKCodecs) separately to handle the incoming messages which are in
+      local charsets, or upgrade your Python to 2.4 or newer.
+
+  Behavior or defaults changes
 
     - VERP_PROBES is disabled by default.
