Here is a history of user visible changes to Mailman.
-2.1.2 (31-Mar-2003)
+2.1.2 (19-Apr-2003)
+
+ - New languages Portuguese (Portugal) and Polish.
+
+ - Many convenient constants have been added to the Defaults.py
+ module to (hopefully) make it more readable.
+
+ - The semantics for the extend.py hook to MailList objects has
+ changed slightly. The hook is now called before attempting to
+ lock and load the database.
+
+ - Email addresses which contain 8-bit characters in them are now
+ rejected and won't be subscribed. This is not the same as 8-bit
+ characters in the realname, which is still allowed.
+
+ - When running make to build Mailman, you can specify $DESTDIR to
+ the install target to specify an alternative location for
+ installation, without influencing the paths stored in
+ e.g. Defaults.py. This is useful to package managers.
+
+ - New Defaults.py variable DELIVERY_RETRY_WAIT which controls how
+ long the outgoing qrunner will wait before it retries a
+ tempfailure delivery.
+
+ - Mailman now uses the email package version 2.5.1
+
+ - bin/transcheck now checks for double-%'s
+
+ - bin/genaliases grew a -q / --quiet flag
+
+ - cron/checkdbs grew a -h / --help option.
+
+ - The -c / --change-msg option has been removed from bin/add_members
+
+ - A new file misc/sitelist.cfg which can be used with
+ bin/config_list provides a small number of recommended settings
+ for your site list. Be sure to read it over before applying!
+ sitelist.cfg is installed into the data directory.
+
+ - Many bug fixes, including these SourceForge bugs closed and
+ patches applied: 677668, 690448, 700538, 700537, 673294, 683906,
+ 671294, 522080, 521124, 534297, 699900, 697321, 695526, 703941,
+ 658261, 710678, 707608, 671303, 717096, 694912, 707624, 716755,
