RELEASED Mailman 2.1.5

Today I am releasing Mailman 2.1.5, a bug fix release that also contains
new support for the Turkish language, and a few minor new features. 
Mailman 2.1.5 is a significant upgrade which should improve disk i/o
performance, administrative overhead for discarding held spams, and the
behavior of bouncing member disables.  This version also contains a fix
for an exploit that could allow 3rd parties to retrieve member
passwords.  It is thus highly recommended that all existing sites
upgrade to the latest version.

The full source tarball, as well as a patch against Mailman 2.1.4 have
been made available.  See

	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103

for links to downloads.

NOTE: You will want to read the UPGRADING file for important information
regarding upgrading from earlier version to Mailman 2.1.5.  A number of
internal file formats have changed so you must shut down web and mail
access to Mailman before you upgrade.  You will also want to re-run
configure (i.e. config.status) before you run "make install".

Finally, a personal note.  I have left Zope Corporation to join Secure
Software, a company started by John Viega -- Mailman's original author.
