1 NEWS file for Enemies of Carlotta, a mailing list manager
3 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2.1 to version 1.2.2:
5 * Manual page: documents the values to the --posting option, and has
6 instructions for Courier-MTA users.
8 * When someone is told to wait for moderation, the message now contains
9 a few words of explanation that it might have happened due to spam.
11 * A German translation courtesy of Johannes Berg.
13 * Fixes to mail template headers (missing MIME-Type added, typos in
14 Content-Type headers).
16 * Bug fixes to avoid problems when mail headers are wrong (and encoding
17 them correctly fails), or when mail headers contain colons, or when
18 there's problems sending mail. Also, List-* headers are removed from
21 * CRLF line endings in incoming messages are converted to LF.
23 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2 to version 1.2.1:
25 * Bugfix: Checking for base64 encodings now works.
27 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.5 to version 1.2:
29 * When the list manager sends a mail with an attached message (e.g.,
30 a bounce), they are marked as "Content-disposition: inline" so that
31 they are shown by default (by sensible mail user agents).
33 * A footer is not appended to messages that are base64 encoded.
35 * Updated translations for templates and manual pages.
37 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.4 to version 1.1.5:

54 same message at the same time. This could result in the message being
57 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.2 to version 1.1.3:
59 * Mails sent by EoC now get their headers MIME encoded (if the version
60 of Python in use has the email.Header module).
62 * A bunch of new command line options: --get, --set, --language,
63 --mail-on-forced-unsubscribe, --mail-on-subscription-changes,
66 * Making an empty template file prevents the corresponding mail from
67 being sent at all. This can be used, for example, to prevent
68 "please wait for moderation" mails.
70 * The beginnings of a plugin architecture, where plugins can modify
71 EoC's operation or the mails it sends. There is only one supported
72 hook at the moment, though, but more will be added as needed.
74 * --show-lists now shows lists in alphabetical order.
76 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.1 to version 1.1.2:

82 * Headers of messages sent to the list can be manipulated in simple
83 ways: some headers can be removed and others added.
85 * Error messages are now user-friendlier than Python's stack traces.
87 * When EoC attaches a message to something it sends to a user, it
88 does so by making it a proper MIME attachment.
90 * Message templates are now in UTF-8.
92 * Manual page in Spanish.

120 * Command line syntax errors result in an error message rather than
123 * Upper and lower case are no longer treated as being different characters
126 * New options --sender and --recipient.
128 * Subscription and posting moderation requests now use the rejection
129 address to make life easier for mutt users.
131 * Swedish translation.

163 "secret" inside it doesn't, create the file instead of crashing.
165 * Bounce handling fixed.
