1 NEWS file for Enemies of Carlotta, a mailing list manager
3 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2.3 to version 1.2.4:

7 Kaijanaho for finding the problem.
9 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2.2 to version 1.2.3:
11 * When there is a problem with MIME header encodings, don't kill EoC,
14 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2.1 to version 1.2.2:
16 * Manual page: documents the values to the --posting option, and has
17 instructions for Courier-MTA users.
19 * When someone is told to wait for moderation, the message now contains
20 a few words of explanation that it might have happened due to spam.
22 * A German translation courtesy of Johannes Berg.
24 * Fixes to mail template headers (missing MIME-Type added, typos in
25 Content-Type headers).
27 * Bug fixes to avoid problems when mail headers are wrong (and encoding
28 them correctly fails), or when mail headers contain colons, or when
29 there's problems sending mail. Also, List-* headers are removed from
32 * CRLF line endings in incoming messages are converted to LF.
34 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2 to version 1.2.1:
36 * Bugfix: Checking for base64 encodings now works.
38 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.5 to version 1.2:
40 * When the list manager sends a mail with an attached message (e.g.,
41 a bounce), they are marked as "Content-disposition: inline" so that
42 they are shown by default (by sensible mail user agents).
44 * A footer is not appended to messages that are base64 encoded.
46 * Updated translations for templates and manual pages.
48 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.4 to version 1.1.5:
50 * Debug logs no longer go to stderr, just to the log file. This should
51 prevent sudden deaths from MTA buffers becoming full.
53 * Bugs about treating addresses in case-insensitive manners fixed.
55 * Lists can now be configured to ignore bounces. (By Jaakko Niemi.)
57 * Moderators for posting can be separate from list owners. (By Pascal
60 * Header MIME encoding can be disabled per list.

68 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.2 to version 1.1.3:
70 * Mails sent by EoC now get their headers MIME encoded (if the version
71 of Python in use has the email.Header module).
73 * A bunch of new command line options: --get, --set, --language,
74 --mail-on-forced-unsubscribe, --mail-on-subscription-changes,
77 * Making an empty template file prevents the corresponding mail from
78 being sent at all. This can be used, for example, to prevent
79 "please wait for moderation" mails.
81 * The beginnings of a plugin architecture, where plugins can modify
82 EoC's operation or the mails it sends. There is only one supported
83 hook at the moment, though, but more will be added as needed.
85 * --show-lists now shows lists in alphabetical order.
87 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.1 to version 1.1.2:
89 * This is still a DEVELOPMENT release. There have been many changes
90 and the documentation and translations are probably out of date.
91 There may be bugs lurking as well.
93 * Headers of messages sent to the list can be manipulated in simple
94 ways: some headers can be removed and others added.
96 * Error messages are now user-friendlier than Python's stack traces.
98 * When EoC attaches a message to something it sends to a user, it
99 does so by making it a proper MIME attachment.
101 * Message templates are now in UTF-8.
103 * Manual page in Spanish.

126 documentation and translations are probably out of date. There may be
127 bugs lurking as well.
129 * QMQP support from Jaakko Niemi.
131 * Command line syntax errors result in an error message rather than
134 * Upper and lower case are no longer treated as being different characters
137 * New options --sender and --recipient.
139 * Subscription and posting moderation requests now use the rejection
140 address to make life easier for mutt users.
142 * Swedish translation.
144 * Mails sent by EoC now have a "real name" in the From header, to lessen

171 * --help option implemented.
173 * --create: If ~/.enemies-of-carlotta exists, but a file named
174 "secret" inside it doesn't, create the file instead of crashing.
176 * Bounce handling fixed.
