Release notes 

3.0 beta 4 -- "Time and Motion"
===============================
(2014-04-22)

Development
-----------
 * Mailman 3 no longer uses ``zc.buildout`` and tests are now run by the
   ``nose2`` test runner. See ``src/mailman/docs/START.rst`` for details on
   how to build Mailman and run the test suite. Also, use ``-P`` to select a
   test pattern and ``-E`` to enable stderr debugging in runners.
 * Use the ``enum34`` package instead of ``flufl.enum``.
 * Use ``setuptools`` instead of ``distribute``, since the latter is defunct.

REST
----
 * Add ``reply_to_address`` and ``first_strip_reply_to`` as writable
   attributes of a mailing list's configuration. (LP: #1157881)
 * Support pagination of some large collections (lists, users, members).
   [Florian Fuchs] (LP: #1156529)
 * Expose ``hide_address`` to the ``.../preferences`` REST API.
   [Sneha Priscilla.] (LP: #1203519)
 * Mailing lists can now individually enable or disable any archiver available
   site-wide. [Joanna Skrzeszewska] (LP: #1158040)
 * Addresses can be added to existing users, including display names, via the
   REST API. [Florian Fuchs]
 * Fixed a crash in the REST server when searching for nonmembers via
   ``/find`` which we've never seen before, because those members only have an
   address record, not a user record. This requires a small change in the API
   where the JSON response's ``address`` key now contains the URL to the
   address resource, the new ``email`` key contains the email address as a
   string, and the ``user`` key is optional.

Commands
--------
 * `mailman conf` now has a `-t/--sort` flag which sorts the output by section
   and then key. [Karl-Aksel Puulmann and David Soto] (LP: 1162492)
 * Greatly improve the fidelity of the Mailman 2.1 list importer functionality
   (i.e. ``mailman import21``). [Aurélien Bompard].

Configuration
-------------
 * Add support for the Exim 4 MTA. [Stephen Turnbull]
 * When creating the initial file system layout in ``var``, e.g. via
   ``bin/mailman info``, add an ``var/etc/mailman.cfg`` file if one does not
   already exist. Also, when initializing the system, look for that file as
   the configuration file, just after ``./mailman.cfg`` and before
   ``~/.mailman.cfg``. (LP: #1157861)

Database
--------
 * The `bounceevent` table now uses list-ids to cross-reference the mailing
   list, to match other tables. Similarly for the `IBounceEvent` interface.
 * Added a `listarchiver` table to support list-specific archivers.

Bugs
----
 * Non-queue runners should not create ``var/queue`` subdirectories.
   [Sandesh Kumar Agrawal] (LP: #1095422)
 * Creation of lists with upper case names should be coerced to lower case.
   (LP: #1117176)
 * Fix REST server crash on `mailman reopen` due to no interception of
   signals. (LP: #1184376)
 * Add `subject_prefix` to the `IMailingList` interface, and clarify the
   docstring for `display_name`. (LP: #1181498)
 * Fix importation from MM2.1 to MM3 of the archive policy.
   [Aurélien Bompard] (LP: #1227658)
 * Fix non-member moderation rule to prefer a member sender if both members
   and non-members are in the message's sender list. [Aurélien Bompard]
   (LP: #1291452)
 * Fix IntegrityError (against PostgreSQL) when deleting a list with content
   filters. [Aurélien Bompard] (LP: #1117174)
 * Fix test isolation bug in ``languages.rst``.
   [Piotr Kasprzyk] (LP: #1308769)
