-2.1.16 (xx-xxx-xxxx)
+2.1.17 (xx-xxx-xxxx)
New Features
+ - There is a new mm_cfg.py setting ANONYMOUS_LIST_KEEP_HEADERS. Since it
+ is not possible to know which non-standard headers in a message might
+ reveal sender information, we now remove all headers from incoming posts
+ to anonymous lists except those which match regular expressions in this
+ list. The default setting keeps non X- headers except those known to
+ reveal sender information, Mailman added X- headers and x-Spam- headers.
+ See the description in Defaults.py for more information. (LP: #1246039)
+
+ i18n
+
+ - The Japanese message catalog has been updated by SATOH Fumiyasu.
+ (LP: #1248855)
+
+ Bug Fixes and other patches
+
+ - Added a reopen command to the sample init.d script in misc/mailman.in.
+ (LP: #1251917)
+
+ - Fixed a misspelling in Tagger.py causing an "unexpected keyword argument
+ 'Delete'" exception. (LP: #1251495)
+
+ - Fixed contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py to work with a user other than
+ 'mailman' and to recognize more listname-* addresses. (LP: #412293)
+
+ - Fixed a possible UnicodeDecodeError in bin/sync_members. (LP: #1243343)
+
+ - Fixed Makefile to not include $DESTDIR in paths compiled into .pyc
+ files for traceback purposes. (LP: #1241770)
+
+2.1.16 (16-Oct-2013)
+
+ New Features
+
+ - There is a new list attribute from_is_list to either rewrite the From:
+ header of posts replacing the posters address with that of the list or
+ wrap the message in an outer message From: the list for compatability
+ with DMARC and or ADSP. There is a new mm_cfg.py setting
+ DEFAULT_FROM_IS_LIST to control the default for new lists, and the
+ existing REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS setting has been extended to allow removing
+ those headers only for certain from_is_list lists. This feature must
+ be enabled by setting ALLOW_FROM_IS_LIST to Yes in mm_cfg.py. See the
+ description of these settings in Defaults.py for more detail. This
+ feature is experimental in 2.1.16, and it is subject to change or to
+ become just one of the two methods in a subsequent release. People
+ interested in this feature are encouraged to try it and report their
+ experiences to the mailman-users@python.org list.
+
+ - There is a new DISPLAY_HELD_SUMMARY_SORT_BUTTONS setting which if set
+ in mm_cfg.py will display a set of radio buttons in the admindb held
+ message summary to select how the held messages are sorted and grouped
+ for display. The exact setting determines the default grouping and
+ sorting. See the description in Defaults.py for details.
+
+ - Setting digest_size_threshhold to zero now means no digests will be
+ sent based on size instead of a digest being sent with every post.
+ (LP: #558274)

- 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
