Hi folks,

Mailman 1.0 release candidate 3 (1.0rc3) has just been uploaded to
www.list.org.  This is an important bug fix release which primarily
fixes a performance problem in the archiver.  Since the GNU folks are
getting ready to put together their next source CDROM, this increases
the possibility that 1.0rc3 will be short-lived -- with 1.0 final
right around the corner!

> From the NEWS file:

1.0rc3

- new script bin/check_perms which checks (and optionally fixes) the
  permissions and group ownerships of the files in your Mailman
  installation.

- Removed a bottleneck in the archiving code that was causing
  performance problems on highly loaded servers.

- The code that saves a list's state and configuration database has
  been made more robust.

- Additional exception handlers have been added in several places to
  alleviate problems with Mailman bombing out when it really would be
  better to print/log a helpful message.

- The "password" mail command will now mail back the sender's
  subscription password when given with no arguments.

- The embarrassing subject-prefixing bug present in rc2 has been
  fixed.

- A small (but nice :) collection of other squashed bugs.

On behalf of the entire development team,
-Barry
