The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Steven,

The current restriction regarding available parameters does not make 
sense ; in the end the full scenario context should be made available to 
search filters. I did a quick hack in the MAIN CVS to allow use of a few 
basic variables including [listname] but not all of them ([env.xx], etc) 
because we need to factorize some code.

We will make a tarball of sympa-5.3a.1à on monday ; if you can't wait, 
then do a "cvs export".

Note that the search() scenario rule now only take a single parameter.
