Each list now maintains + its own watermark, and when you use the admin CGI script to turn + on gating from Usenet->mail, an automatic mass catch up is done + to avoid flooding the mailing list. cron/gate_news's command + line interface has also changed. See its docstring for + details. + + - A new cron script called qrunner has been added to retry message + deliveries that fail because of temporary smtpd problems. + + - New command line script called bin/list_lists which does exactly + that: lists all the mailing lists on the system (much like the + listinfo CGI does). + + - bin/withlist is now directly executable, however if you want to + use python -i, you must still explicitly invoke it. + bin/withlist also now cleans up after itself by unlocking any + locked lists. It does NOT save any dirty lists though - you + must do this explicitly. + + - $prefix permissions (and all subdirs) must now be 02775. + bin/check_perms has been updated to fix all the subdir + permissions. + + - "make update" (a.k.a. bin/update) is run automatically when you + do a "make install" + + - The CGI driver script now puts information about the Python + environment into the logs/error file (but not the diagnostic web + page). + + - Bug fixes and some performance improvements + 2.0 beta 1 (19-Mar-2000) + - Python 1.5.2 (or newer) is now required. + - A new bundled auto-responder has been added. You can now configure an autoresponse text for each list's primary addresses: |
