GNU Mailman 3.0.0a4 "Vital Signs"

3.0 alpha 4 -- "Vital Signs"
============================
(2009-11-28)

Commands
--------
 * 'bin/inject' is now 'bin/mailman inject', with some changes
 * 'bin/mailmanctl' is now 'bin/mailman start|stop|reopen|restart'
 * 'bin/mailman version' is added (output same as 'bin/mailman --version')
 * 'bin/mailman members' command line arguments have changed. It also
   now ignores blank lines and lines that start with #. It also no longer
   quits when it sees an address that's already subscribed.
 * 'bin/withlist' is now 'bin/mailman withlist', and its command line
   arguments have changed.
 * 'bin/mailman lists' command line arguments have changed.
 * 'bin/genaliases' is now 'bin/mailman aliases'

Architecture
------------
 * A near complete rewrite of the low-level SMTP delivery machinery. This
   greatly improves readability, testability, reuse and extensibility. Almost
   all the old functionality has been retained. The smtp_direct.py handler is
   gone.
 * Refactor model objects into the mailman.model subpackage.
 * Refactor most of the i18n infrastructure into a separate flufl.i18n package.
 * Switch from setuptools to distribute.
 * Remove the dependency on setuptools_bzr
 * Do not create the .mo files during setup.

Configuration
-------------
 * All log files now have a '.log' suffix by default.
 * The substitution placeholders in the verp_format configuration variable
   have been renamed.
 * Add a devmode configuration variable that changes some basic behavior.
   Most importantly, it allows you to set a low-level SMTP recipient for all
   mail for testing purposes. See also devmode_recipient.
