Here is a history of user visible changes to Mailman. +2.2 Branch Backports (released in conjunction with 2.1.19) + + The following New Features and Bug Fixes have been in an "unofficial, + never to be released" Mailman 2.2 branch for several years. Until now, + they were never implemented on the official 2.1 branch because of their + i18n impacts. Given that there have been a number of i18n impacting + changes due to DMARC mitigations in the last few releases, it has been + decided to backport these as well. + + All of these changes have been running in production on several lists + for years without problems other than untranslated strings, so they should + be reasonably "bug free". + + New Features + + - There is a new list attribute 'subscribe_auto_approval' which is a list + of email addresses and regular expressions matching email addresses + whose subscriptions are exempt from admin approval. (LP: #266609) + + - Confirmed member change of address is logged in the 'subscribe' log, + and if admin_notify_mchanges is true, a notice is sent to the list + owner using a new adminaddrchgack.txt template. + + - Added an 'automate' option to bin/newlist to send the notice to the + admin without the prompt. + + - The processing of Topics regular expressions has changed. Previously the + Topics regexp was compiled in verbose mode but not documented as such + which caused some confusion. Also, the documentation indicated that + topic keywords could be entered one per line, but these entries were not + handled properly. Topics regexps are now compiled in non-verbose mode + and multi-line entries are 'ored'. Existing Topics regexps will be + converted when the list is updated so they will continue to work. + + - Added real name display to the web roster. (LP: #266754) + + + Bug fixes and other patches + + - Changed the response to an invalid confirmation to be more generic. + Not all confirmations are subscription requests. + + - Changed the default nonmember_rejection_notice to be more user friendly. + (LP: #418728) + + - Added "If you are a list member" qualification to some messages from the + options login page. (LP: #266442) + + - Changed the 'Approve' wording in the admindbdetails.html template to + 'Accept/Approve' for better agreement with the button labels. + + - Added '(by thread)' to the previous and next message links in the + archive to emphasize that even if you got to the message from a + subject, date or author index, previous and next are still by thread. + 2.1.19 (xx-xxx-xxxx) New Features |
