Hi,

I normally build mailman (./configure; make install) on a dev system then 
tar/rsync it to a production machine.  I checked the UPGRADING notes in the 
2.1.7 release and there is no mention of anything (i.e. withlist, fix_url, etc) 
that needs to be done when upgrading from 2.1.5 to 2.1.7.    Are lists (and 
specifically everything in "--with-var-prefix") from a 2.1.5 install compatible 
with 2.1.7?  If not, what post-install actions need to be taken to upgrade an 
existing system from 2.1.5 to 2.1.7?

Thanks, and Thank you MM Developers for this latest release.

-Jim P.

Subject: [Mailman-Users] RELEASED Mailman 2.1.7

I'm pleased to announce the release of GNU Mailman 2.1.7.  This
is a significant release, which includes security enhancement
fixes, a new language (ia: Interlingua) support, a couple of new
features, and many bug fixes.

Mailman is free software for managing email mailing lists and
e-newsletters.

This release enhances the fixes for CAN-2005-0202 and CVE-2005-3573
which were fixed in mailman release 2.1.6, and reduces the chance of
list admin privilege abuse.  Because of these and other fixes, it
is highly recommended that all sites update to 2.1.7.

For more information, see:

    http://mailman.sourceforge.net/

For links to download the Mailman 2.1.7 source tarball, see:

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

Best regards and a happy new year!
