+
+    - Fixed an issue that prevented editing the options.html template from
+      the web admin interface. SF Bug #2164798.
+
+    - Fixed a problem in Decorate which could throw a TypeError on conversion
+      to unicode of a header/footer that was already unicode because of
+      interpolating a unicode value.
+
+    - Fixed an issue where list creation would report bad owner email
+      instead of bad listname when the list name had non-ascii characters.
+      SF Bug #2126489.

+
+    - Corrected a typo in Mailman/Gui/Privacy.py. Bug #309757.

+

+      the summary page, the reject reason is the rejection message from the
+      Errors.HoldMessage subclass instead of the generic "No reason given".
+
+    - Fixed the admin Membership List Find member function so the 'letter'
+      links to a chunked result would still be limited to the Find member
