Here is a history of user visible changes to Mailman.
+2.0 beta 5 (01-Aug-2000)
+
+ - Bug fix release. This includes a fix for a small security hole
+ which could be exploited to gain mailman group access by a local
+ user (not a mail or web user).
+
+ - As part of the fix for the "cookie reauthorization" bug, only
+ session cookies are used now. This means that administrative
+ and private archive cookies expire only when the browser session
+ is quit, however an explicit "Logout" button has been added.
+
2.0 beta 4 (06-Jul-2000)
- Bug fix release.
