+Commands
+--------
+ * 'bin/inject' is now 'bin/mailman inject', with some changes
+ * 'bin/mailmanctl' is now 'bin/mailman start|stop|reopen|restart'
+ * 'bin/mailman version' is added (output same as 'bin/mailman --version')
+ * 'bin/mailman members' command line arguments have changed.  It also
+   now ignores blank lines and lines that start with #.  It also no longer
+   quits when it sees an address that's already subscribed.
+ * 'bin/withlist' is now 'bin/mailman withlist', and its command line
+   arguments have changed.

+   gone.
+ * Refactor model objects into the mailman.model subpackage.
+ * Refactor most of the i18n infrastructure into a separate flufl.i18n package.
+ * Switch from setuptools to distribute.
+ * Remove the dependency on setuptools_bzr
+ * Do not create the .mo files during setup.

+Configuration
+-------------
+ * All log files now have a '.log' suffix by default.
+ * The substitution placeholders in the verp_format configuration variable
+   have been renamed.
+ * Add a devmode configuration variable that changes some basic behavior.
+   Most importantly, it allows you to set a low-level SMTP recipient for all
+   mail for testing purposes.  See also devmode_recipient.
