Sympa 6.2.46 released

The Sympa Community is proud to release the newest version of Sympa.

This version fixes several bugs, and introduces some enhancements. Translations to several languages have been mostly completed. Administrators are encouraged to upgrade Sympa to this version.

Highlight of this version

German (Deutsch)
Spanish (Español)
French (Français)
Galician (Galego)
Italian (Italiano)
Japanese (日本語)
Russian (Русский)
US English

Along with languages above, help documents for users are provided in following languages:

Packaging

FreeBSD

Currently, FreeBSD ports/packages provides mail/sympa with Sympa 6.2.44.

RPM: Sympa is joining to Fedora/EPEL

Xavier Bachelot has been working to add Sympa to Fedora/EPEL for years. Now it is coming true.

To install Sympa packages under tests on Fedora/EPEL, you have to enable "testing" repository, like:

dnf install --enablerepo=updates-testing sympa

or, with EPEL,

yum install --enablerepo=epel-testing sympa

In near future, RPM will be provided through these repositories. Until then, administrators who need stable RPM packages may use older repository, Sympa-JA.org. RPMs for pre-release (beta) vdersion of Sympa are provided by COPR sympa-beta repository (See the documentation for details).

Planned changes in the future

New Sympa logo

New Sympa logo is proposed. If you have any idea, please comment on the issue #665.
