1 NEWS file for Enemies of Carlotta, a mailing list manager
3 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2.4 to version 1.2.5:
5 * The change in 1.2.3 used the wrong log printing function, this
6 release uses the right one.

21 * Manual page: documents the values to the --posting option, and has
22 instructions for Courier-MTA users.
24 * When someone is told to wait for moderation, the message now contains
25 a few words of explanation that it might have happened due to spam.
27 * A German translation courtesy of Johannes Berg.
29 * Fixes to mail template headers (missing MIME-Type added, typos in
30 Content-Type headers).
32 * Bug fixes to avoid problems when mail headers are wrong (and encoding
33 them correctly fails), or when mail headers contain colons, or when
34 there's problems sending mail. Also, List-* headers are removed from
37 * CRLF line endings in incoming messages are converted to LF.
39 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2 to version 1.2.1:
41 * Bugfix: Checking for base64 encodings now works.
43 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.5 to version 1.2:
45 * When the list manager sends a mail with an attached message (e.g.,
46 a bounce), they are marked as "Content-disposition: inline" so that
47 they are shown by default (by sensible mail user agents).
49 * A footer is not appended to messages that are base64 encoded.
51 * Updated translations for templates and manual pages.
53 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.4 to version 1.1.5:

56 prevent sudden deaths from MTA buffers becoming full.
58 * Bugs about treating addresses in case-insensitive manners fixed.
60 * Lists can now be configured to ignore bounces. (By Jaakko Niemi.)

73 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.2 to version 1.1.3:
75 * Mails sent by EoC now get their headers MIME encoded (if the version
76 of Python in use has the email.Header module).
78 * A bunch of new command line options: --get, --set, --language,
79 --mail-on-forced-unsubscribe, --mail-on-subscription-changes,
82 * Making an empty template file prevents the corresponding mail from
83 being sent at all. This can be used, for example, to prevent
84 "please wait for moderation" mails.
86 * The beginnings of a plugin architecture, where plugins can modify
87 EoC's operation or the mails it sends. There is only one supported
88 hook at the moment, though, but more will be added as needed.
90 * --show-lists now shows lists in alphabetical order.
92 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.1 to version 1.1.2:
94 * This is still a DEVELOPMENT release. There have been many changes
95 and the documentation and translations are probably out of date.
96 There may be bugs lurking as well.
98 * Headers of messages sent to the list can be manipulated in simple
99 ways: some headers can be removed and others added.
101 * Error messages are now user-friendlier than Python's stack traces.
103 * When EoC attaches a message to something it sends to a user, it
104 does so by making it a proper MIME attachment.

145 address to make life easier for mutt users.
