Here is a history of user visible changes to Mailman.
+2.1 beta 5 (19-Nov-2002)
+
+ As is typical for a late beta release, this one includes the usual
+ bug fixes, tweaks, and massive new features (just kidding).
+
+ IMPORTANT: If you are using Pipermail, and you have any archives
+ that were created or added to in 2.1b4, you will need to run
+ bin/b4b5-archfix, followed by bin/check_perms to fix some serious
+ performance problems. From you install directory, run
+ "bin/b4b5-archfix --help" for details.
+
+ - The personalization options have been tweaked to provide more
+ control over mail header and decoration personalizations. In
+ 2.1b4, when personalization was enabled, the To and Cc headers
+ were always overwritten. But that's usually not appropriate for
+ anything but announce lists, so now these headers aren't changed
+ unless "Full personalization" is enabled.
+
+ - You now need to go to the General category to enable emergency
+ moderation.
+
+ - The order of the hold modules in the GLOBAL_PIPELINE has
+ changed, again. Now Moderate comes before Hold.
+
+ - Estonian language support has been added.
+
+ - All posted messages should now get decorated with headers and
+ footers in a MIME-safe way. Previously, some MIME type messages
+ didn't get decorated at all.
+

+
+ - bin/list_lists grew a -b/--bare option
