[Mailman-i18n] Mailman 2.1.16 release.

[Mark Sapiro]

FYI, I will be releasing 2.1.16rc1 in a few days with a target of a
final release in early September.

I believe the release will be very solid and stable. The main purpose of
the candidate release is to expose any i18n changes so that translators
can submit any updates and get them in the final release. There are a
few new features, contributed programs, i18n changes and bug fixes, all
of which will be announced when the candidate is released.

the attached README.

Note that there is a minor glitch in the tarball in that the NEWS file
dates the release as xx-Aug-2013 instead of 19-Jul-2013, but I didn't
think it was worth uploading new files for that.

I am pleased to announce the third release candidate for Mailman 2.1.16.

Python 2.4 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7 is recommended.

This release has a few new features and several bug fixed as detailed in
the attached README.

Differences from the second candidate are the renaming of the
author_is_list feature to from_is_list to more accurately describe what
it does. This feature has also been extended to provide the option of
leaving the original message intact and wrapping it in an outer part
with Content-Type: message/rfc822.

The from_is_list feature is considered experimental and subject to
change in future releases. It is being released now as a "candidate" to
allow some exposure before the final 2.1.16 release which should occur
in October.

Thanks for this. All working fine this end. Only thing I can see is the version text still says that it is running RC3.
Hi Mark, I pulled down
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/mailman-2.1.16.tgz
and my list web interface shows version 2.1.16rc3. Maybe someone
forgot to bump Version.py ?

Actually, it's a bit more tangled than that. For those keeping score at
home, I have a script that I use to 1) bump the version 2) tag the
release and 3) package the tarball. The issue is step 1) bumps the
version, but doesn't commit, then step 2) tags the latest (prior) commit
and then commits, and step 3) packages the tagged version which doesn't
have the bump. Sometimes I remember to commit between steps 1) and 2),
and sometimes I don't.

I have updated the script to commit after the bump in step 1) which will
avoid this in the future I hope.

I have replaced the tarballs at the download sites:

https://launchpad.net/mailman/2.1/
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mailman/

with ones that have the correct version. This is the only difference
between the new tarballs and the prior ones. If you downloaded one
earlier and care about the displayed version, you can either download a
new one or apply the attached Version.py.patch.
