I VIRTUAL ROBOT

Sympa virtual robots are like Apache virtual hosting : a single daemon
sympa.pl and a single cgi server wwsympa.fcgi now can serve multiple
domains with their own set of list, templates and scenarii.

All configuration parameters can be defined for each robot (templates,
scenario topics, colors and so on), but Sympa installation parameters
common to all virtual robot (such as binary and spool location, SMTP
engine, antivirus plugging etc). A robot is named with its domain, and
has its own setup directory ~sympa/etc/dom.org. ~sympa/expl/dom.org/
contains the lists of dom.org robot

Templates and scenarii will first be searched in
~sympa/etc/dom.org/wws_templates/, ~sympa/etc/dom.org/templates/,
~sympa/etc/dom.org/scenari/ directories before searching into
~sympa/etc.

II LDAP AUTHENTICATION

If configured so, Sympa allows LDAP authentication via uid or emails
stored in LDAP Directories so local users don't need anymore a specific
password for Sympa usage.

In addition, it is now possible to define named filters in the list's
configuration you can grant privileges to people stored in an LDAP
Directory thanks to scenario.

III INSTALLATION

New "./configure;make;make install" gnu style installation procedure.

IV OTHER

Users can record multiple emails (preferences and which pages) These
addresses are used as alternative emails and may be found in the LDAP
directory used for authentication. 
         
Shared bookmarks into the shared repository. 

src/List.pm: [John Dalbec] 'include_ldap_2level_query' perform an LDAP
query in 2 times. 
         
Antivirus plugging : now works with AvpLinux and 'F-Prot' anti-virus  

New admin pages : chronological list of lists in server_admin web pages,
purge_list feature in server_admin web pages, list of Virtual Robots in
server_admin web pages 

etc
