Hi

3.0 is a major release of Sympa. It include a lot of changes
but no significant uncompatible changes. The 3 major new features
are :

-S/MIME encryption and HTTPS authentication
-Shared web space for each list.

Here is the release note part related to new features.

New features:

S/MIME : Sympa now can be configured to distribute encrypted
messages
(need a email certificate for the list). It also sign welcome
message
comming from a list (in order to distribute the list certificate).
HTTPS authentication can be used with user certificate. In this case
no login form is needed at all.

"edit_list" action in WWSympa : a important change in internal
data structure for list configuration. You must check that
sympa.sympa
has write access on config files.

Shared web features set. This developpement from Sophie Le Floch
address@concealed is intended for new groupware features
in WWSympa.

**** New design for web navigation. All web templates are changed. 3.0a

previous french and spanish translation. Translators are invited to
take

New parameters in "include_ldap_query" paragraph :
o attrs (default 'mail') attribute
containing the email address(es)
o select (default 'first') if the query
returns multiple values, do we keep the first one or all of them

Add a protection at the entrance of archives. If the user is
not identified, he/she has to click a button to access archives.

New parameter "visibility" for a topic in topics.conf
It refers to "topics_visibility" scenario

Check Message-IDs to avoid loops.

"default_user_options" now applied to included users.

Importing lists to 'database' mode can be performed using
WWSympa. All you have to do is edit the list config (in WWSympa)
and change the user_data_source from 'file' to 'database'.
