6.0b.2 31 July 2009
Features:
No new features. Just stabilisation of the 6.0 beta version.
Changes:
src/confdef.pm: define longer period for default values of cleandelay_xx parameters
src/lib/List.pm, /src/lib/confdef.pm: Now ttl and distribution_ttl list parameters
take their defaults in default_ttl and default_distribution_ttl sympa.conf parameters.
po/de.po, po-wwsympa/de.po: [Submitted by M. Warkus, univ. Marburg] Updated German translation.
***** The directory in which all the default configuration files and directories is installed
***** is now "default", under the root installation directory. In the previous release, it was
***** share/sympa/default. You should remove this directory now to avoid confusion.
New configure option: '--enable-fhs'. Sympa supports two kinds of files hierarchies. The historical one, where by default all is gathered in the Sympa directry, and also the FHS recommended hierarchy. Now if the '--enable-fhs' configure option is set, Sympa is installed according to the FHS. Otherwise, it is installed using the historical paths.
Bug fixes:
src/sympa_wizard.pl.in: [Reported by P. Maes, univ. Louvain] Net::Netmask CPAN module
was not checked by the Sympa wizard, though it is required.
d_install_shared.tt2, mail_tt2/moderate.tt2, mail_tt2/modindex.tt2,
mail_tt2/user_notification.tt2, mail_tt2/welcome.tt2, po/fr.pomail_tt2/moderate.tt2:
[Submitted by P. Maes, univ. Louvain] The one time ticket URL was included in the
internationalization message. It had no sense, as an URL won't be translated, and any
change in the layout (such as putting the URL in another line) would break the translation
key. Fixed by putting the URL out of the i18n string.
src/etc/script/create_db.mysql: [Submitted by D. Ayre, univ. E. Carr, Vancouver]
A missing comma in create_db.mysql made the creation script fail with an SQL error.
src/lib/Conf.pm: [Reported by M. Warkus, univ. Marburg] When using the default robot,
wwsympa.conf parameters were not taken into account, only the default values set
in confdef.pm. The value could only be set in sympa.conf. This was due to the load_robots
function which initialized the config with default values and sympa.conf values and then
looked for customized values for virtual hosts only. Fixed by replacing default values by
their equivalent in wwsympa.conf when found.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi.in: [Reported by Wen Si] Single value and single instance list
parameters value could not be removed using the web interface. fixed by *not* going
directly to the next parameter in do_edit_list when such a parameter is found empty.
src/lib/Upgrade.pm: [Reported by A. Suter, crox.net] "0" character was not allowed in
md5 encoded passwords. Changed regular expression to allow it.
src/lib/Sympa/Constants.pm.in: [Reported by N. Matthies] Typo in ARCDIR constant declaration.
src/task_manager.pl.in: [Reported by N. Matthies] The task manager failed to process the
eval_bouncers and purge_orphan_bounces tasks because the corresponding functions did not
return 1. It cause the manager to conclude there had been an error.
Makefile.am, configure.ac: [Reported by N. Matthies] It looks like some "general_task_models"
and "task_models" directory still installed in the etc directory. These directory are not used
anymore. this was due to a command in Makefile.am installing "non writable directories".
These directories were all isntalled in a separate part of the install process, using
their normal names and location.
src/lib/Conf.pm, src/lib/confdef.pm: Sympa doesn't complain anymore when an optional parameter
is missing in robot.conf.
src/lib/Bulk.pm: [Reported by Wen Si] A query in the Bulk.pm module was using MySQL-specific SQL orders.
This caused Oracle (and probably Sybase too) to fail to lock packets in database.
Fixed by splitting the query into a selection followed by an update,
and by tweeking it on the base of the RDBMS used.
src/etc/script/create_db.SQLite, src/lib/Upgrade.pm: [Submitted by M. deranek, slonko.net]
SQLite support was broken in Sympa, due to syntax errors.
src/etc/script/ldap_alias_manager.pl.in: --modulesdir-- placeholder was badly spelled in
ldap_alias_manager.pl, cauing it not to be replaced by its real value at install time.
src/sympa_wizard.pl.in: Removing useless warning when the 'file' parameter is not indicated
in the confdef.pm parameter definition. This 'file' parameter is used only when we want to
write a value by default in the config file. Otherwise default value will be used.
6.0b.1 16 June 2009
Features:
***** New bulk.pl daemon installed with Sympa. This daemon is dedicated to mail distribution and
***** allows to parallelize this process on a single server as well as on multiple servers.
***** The main bulk.pl processes will automatically fork new processes, depending on the amount
***** of messages left in the database. You can control this behavior with the parameters
***** bulk_fork_threshold, bulk_max_count,bulk_fork_threshold, see below.
*****
***** Messages spool used by the bulk.pl daemon is stored in the database, in two tables :
***** - bulkspool_table : one entry per message
***** - bulkmailer_table : subset of receipients for each message
***** New associated sympa.conf parameters :
***** - bulk_fork_threshold : minimum number of packets in database before the bulk forks to increase sending rate
***** - bulk_max_count : max number of bulks that will run on the same server
***** - bulk_lazytime : number of seconds a slave bulk will remain running without processing a message before
***** it spontaneously dies
***** - bulk_wait_to_fork : number of seconds a master bulk waits between two packets number checks
***** - sympa_packet_priority : default priority set to a packet to be sent by the bulk (for future use)
***** - pidfile_bulk : location of the daemon PID file
***** [Olivier Lumineau, CRU] Fresh new web CSS for the web interface.
***** Here is the list of changes in the web interface :
***** - New css.tt2
***** - A new Sympa logo :-)
***** - New navigation menu through list admin menu and server admin menu
***** - Miscellaneous modifications in templates (list_admin_menu.tt2 not used anymore)
***** WARNING : if you customize your own templates you may notice some mess in the page layout.
***** In such a case compare your templates to the distributed version and report any difference
***** to your own files...
***** Replace storage of password with encryption by md5 fingerprint. This
***** make remind password impossible. So now a one time ticket table is created
***** ticket are sent by email as an authentication token. Ticket can be used
***** for lost password, create account, moderation request . It should be
***** generalized to all operation that need a email chalenge.
*****
***** sympa.pl --md5_encode_password change password encoding in the database using md5.So IT IS NOT REVERSIBLE,
***** so you should save the database (in a safe place to protect password)
*****
***** <WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING>
*****
***** UPGRADING TO SYMPA 6.0 WILL NOT BE REVERSIBLE!
***** BECAUSE WE DRASTICALLY CHANGED THE WAY THE PASSWORDS ARE STORED, ONCE YOU UPGRADED TO 6.0
***** YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO USE THE SYMPA DATABASE WITH A PREVIOUS VERSION AGAIN (UNLESS YOU ERASE ALL PASSWORDS)
***** SO IF YOU'RE NOT SURE YOU WILL KEEP SYMPA 6.0,
*****
***** MAKE SURE YOU SAVED YOUR DATABASE BEFORE UPGRADING!
*****
***** MAKE SURE YOU SAVED YOUR DATABASE BEFORE UPGRADING!
*****
***** <WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING><WARNING>
src/Conf.pm, src/sympa_wizard.pl: Four new languages are now available by default in Sympa:
- Bokmål (B. C. Aasgaard)
- Polish (L. Zygmanski)
- Finn (J.P. Paloposki)
- Vietnamese (C. Siddall)
Thanks to the translators for their efforts!
/po/Makefile: New make command: "clean-po". Updates the PO catalogues but doesn't try to save strings that disappeared
in this version.
New button to toogle select/unselect all spams in modindex page
New propertie in object message : spam_status . This feature is used in modindex (listing of message waiting for
moderation) to show message tagued as spam.
4 new parameters :
- antispam_feature default off
- antispam_tag_header_name default X-Spam-Status
- antispam_tag_header_spam_regexp default ^\s*Yes
- antispam_tag_header_ham_regexp default ^\s*No
If you change antispam_feature to value 'on' the other parameters default are compatible with spamassassin defaults.
src/sympa.pl: new sympa.pl options in order to recode shared document files and solve charset slag
src/Conf.pm: Legacy character set support (submitted by S. Ikeda) is now enabled if the
'legacy_character_support_feature' sympa.conf parameter is set to on.
New parameter 'legacy_character_support_feature'. If set to 'on', legacy character support will be enabled, as
discussed in https://listes.cru.fr/sympa/arc/sympa-dev/2006-09/msg00029.html and its follow-ups. Any other value
or no definition at all disables the functionnality.
Now http://server/sympa/<a valid listname> is redirect to http://server/sympa/info/<a valid listname> insteed of
"unkown action" error
New database table in order to store robot config parameters that can be edited inline. This feature is used for color
edition in sympa admin/skinsedit
New scenario test : less_than. (Submitted by S. Amrani, gendarmerie nationale). It Allows to compare two values. Is true
if the first one is less than the second one. Works with strings, too, if you like.
Now sympa.pl --test_database_message_buffer can be used in order to verify database capacity to store messages spool
(dirty output a nicer is needed ;-)
New delivery_time list parameter in order to make distribution at a specified time
Now template of lists created using web interface can use any input from the create_list_request form referenced as
[% custom_input.VARNAME %]
New parameter 'inclusion_notification_feature'. If its value is set to 'on', subscribers are notified when they are
included in a list through an external datasource.
We no longer use the visibility to manage this behaviour to avoid confusion for users and an overwhelming number of
scenario evaluations.
New inline color editor (skins section from "sympa admin")
New [% editor_msg_body %] mail_tt2 variable : When rejecting a message by email reject command, the message body is
transmisted to the tt2 parser so it is now possible to print the message body in the notification sent to the original
message sender. The tt2 var to use is [%editor_msg_body%]
The change_email feature has been rewritten as follows:
- using authenticating URLs to check the new user email (instead of collecting his password)
- provide an equivalent listmaster feature to change a user's email address
- check if user is included ; if so, notify the list owner
- rename list member picture if he changes his member email address
[Peter Hart] Message moderation : Added a new function for the moderation of messages. On rejection of messages
personalised messages can be created and saved and used to give more information as to why these messages were
refused by the moderator.
[Peter Hart] New scenario condition verify_netmask. exemple : verify_netmask('1.12.123.00/24') (changes in intanet
scenrii are just comment because we don't have access to the local netmask of installation)
[Roland Hopferwieser] Extended the ldap_alias_manager.pl to use template to create LDAP entries. Also added a
simulation mode for debug purpose.
New sympa;conf parameters to control logging for a specific module.
Current version provide only logs for scenario .
- log_condition is used to controle in which case logs are applied. Both are multivaluated (list of values comma
separated). Example: log_module scenario,smtp
- log_condition ip=127.0.0.1,email=foo@domain
- log_module is not implemented for most modules. 'log_module smtp'
should replace the option sympa.pl -m
Clone list : a new way to create lists : creation list form allows now to clone a list as a new empty list, all
config and customization are copied but not subscribers, archives and shared.
Changes:
***** [Submitted by G. Rousse, INRIA] A lot of modification brought to the autotools usage in Sympa.
***** This is still a work in progress, but should make the life of Sympa packagers quite easier once it is finished.
***** This work has greatly simplified all Makefiles, turned into Makefile.am
***** Substitutions in perl modules are now performed at the "make" time, no more during "make install"
*****
***** HERE IS THE LIST OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES REGARDING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS:
***** - Default sympa configuration files, previously stored in PREFIX/bin/etc/ are now stored in
***** PREFIX/share/default/ directory
*****
***** - Most --with-xxdir configure options are now obsolete, replaced by equivalent standard --xxdir options
***** Here is the list of concerned options :
***** --with-etcdir => --sysconfdir
***** --with-bindir => --bindir
***** --with-sbindir => --sbindir
***** --with-libexecdir => --libexecdir
***** --with-datadir => --with-defaultdir
***** --with-libdir => --with-modulesdir
***** --with-localedir => --localedir
***** --with-mandir => --mandir
***** --with-docdir => --docdir
***** --with-sampledir => now installed with the documentation
*****
***** - Most default installation directories have been change to adopt standard FHS-compliant locations
***** However, the distributed tar.gz still uses most of the previous locations to make upgrade process
***** less awkward. If you run "./configure ; make ; make install" with the tar.gz things will install as
***** usually.
***** If you run autoconf, it will define the set of target directories either the old way
***** or the FHS way, depending on wether it finds an existing /etc/sympa.conf file.
*****
***** - Removed obsolete sudo wrappers ; Sympa now includes C wrappers for both wwsympa.fcgi and sympa_soap_server.fcgi
***** Check the manual <http://www.sympa.org/manual/index> for more informations on that topic
***** New required library : gettext-devel
***** New required CPAN modules :
***** - AuthCAS : replaces the Sympa's CAS.pm own library
***** - File::Copy::Recursive
***** - Net::Netmask
***** - Term::ProgressBar
***** - Time::HiRes
***** - MIME::Lite
***** - MIME::Lite::HTML
***** - Email::Date::Format
[Submitted by G.Rousse, INRIA] check_perl_modules.pl now replaced with sympa_wizard.pl --check. All recent changes in
check_perl_modules.pl have been reported in sympa_wizard.pl
When subscribing to a list, the confirmation popup now shows up only if no custom attributes will be used; Otherwise,
this would require that the user confirm twice : first in the popup, then in the custom attributes form; Also adapted
the text displayed in the submission form to custom attributes.
No more require Net::SSLeay perl module. Using LWP::UserAgent instead
Now, when performing "make update-po", the catalogue file to update is temporarily saved to avoid losing strings from
beta version when updating stable version, or vice-versa. Both updated and saved files are then merged.
If a message is tagued as a spam and if it is to be moderated or rejected, do not send a report information to the
message sender even if the scenario did not return 'quiet' directive
Now message for moderation is not attached in the message sent to the moderator if tagued as spam.
Now archives by thread or by chronologie is a session attribute (and a user preference). This feature also fix a bug
related to the way archives are cached by client. Now page are "static" for robots (as detected by SympaSession) and
dynamic for any others.
Now if antispam_feature is configured, sympa robot will ignore incomming command messages if tagued as spam. By the same
way, spam messages for listmaster, list-request and list-editor will be ignored. Such messages are moved in spool bad
and message-id is loggued.
New structure %required_args defining required parameters, %required_privileges defines required privileges to run
actions and new subroutine check_action_parameters() that does the checking. Removed 1200 lines of code in wwsympa.fcgi
Changes regarding SOAP session management :
* SOAP session now uses the session DB table
* session_id can be validated, checked, used in authenticateAndRun()
* sympa_soap_client.pl has been extended : new --session_id option, new supported service
--service=getUserEmailByCookie
No more store unknown bounces in OTHER directories. They are now kept in a bad/ subdirectory in the bounce spool.
When subscribing to a list, the confirmation popup now shows up only if no custom attributes will be used; Otherwise,
this would require that the user confirm twice : first in the popup, then in the custom attributes form; Also adapted
the text displayed in the submission form to custom attributes.
css modifications for different internet explorer versions compatibilities
Notifications are now sent to users, for remind, add and del commands, only if the visibility is set to true for these
users. Notifications can now be sent to users included by external data sources, when they are added or removed from
user list.
Recent versions of Oracle do support the AS clause
Web interface:
- Adding HTML comments in web templates to help users spotting which template is used for customizing purpose.
- Alphabetical index of lists in lists action.
- added contextual help links whenever appropriate
- thread/chronological archive sorting is now a user session preference
Use homogenous terminology for authentication. Also use one-time tickets for web signoff now
[reported by Micah Anderson, Riseup] Micah reported problems with the use of $* instead of /m in the parser.pl module.
It was a good oportunity to remove the old parser code that was used by the task_manager only. The task_manager now
uses the TT2 parser. It forces us to change the task template format for structured variables : [x->y] should now
be written [x.y].
[submitted by Peter Langhans, univ Zurich] in create_list form, bring back the form if a parameter is missing
[proposed by Peter Langhans, univ Zurich] made units for list parameters translatable
Add "toggle selection" button in list of closed lists
Now raising an error if alias_manager failed to install new aliases
[#713] Now notifying new list owners/moderator as they are added to the list configuration.
[#534] added more informations to the reviewbouncing page (bounce total, first bounce and last bounce date).
Now printing "no score" when the bounce score could not be computed
Show custom attributes as cells in the list members html table. Now it can be copy&paste in openoffice or excel.
SOAP server : Changes regarding SOAP session management :
- SOAP session now uses the session DB table
- session_id can be validated, checked, used in authenticateAndRun()
- sympa_soap_client.pl has been extended : new --session_id option, new supported service --service=getUserEmailByCookie
[Reported by L. Gentis, IUFM Lorraine]When updating a config file while the upgrade process, the "email" parameter
value of the "update" paragraph was set to 'listmaster'. However, this value was validated against a regexp for emails.
this produced an error log, as 'listmaster' is not a valid email address. Fixed by allowing 'listamster' and 'automatic'
strings in this regexp. 'automatic will be used to designate updates done by processes instead of users.
Message moderation :
- Now message for moderation is not attached in the message sent to the moderator if tagued as spam.
Bug fixes:
Unsorted:
- When storing subscription requests, Sympa ignored subscription request if an user had already asked for a subscription,
event if the new request was for another list. Fixed by checking the list name before searching previous subscription
requests for the user.
- [#3953] Lock.pm imports some constants from Fnctl module and used to redefine them. it resulted in warnings while
running wwsympa.fcgi : "Prototype mismatch: sub Lock::LOCK_SH () vs none at /usr/share/sympa/lib/Lock.pm line 38.
Constant subroutine LOCK_SH redefined at /usr/share/sympa/lib/Lock.pm line 38.". Removed duplicate definitions.
- [#3990][Submitted by A. Berstein, electricembers.net] The quiet option had been deactivated from the "reject" mail
command.
Bounce management :
- When a bounce file could not be created, nothing was done, so at the next bounced.pl iteration, the faulty
report was still present. In such a case, the bounce report is now moved to bad.
- [reported by H.Rousseau]: bounced.pl would fail to create files in OTHER/ if From contained incorrect chars. The
bounced.pl process would loop on these files.
Now such bounce files are moved to the bad/ subdirectory.
Init.d script:
- Sympa start and stop script used the "status" command for system whose OSTYPE was 'linux-gnu'. These systems don't
seem to have such a command.
- Error in the status check for plain gnu-linux stystems.
- [Submitted by P. Brown, univ.Southern California] init script sympa was broken for Solaris. It used some syntaxes not
supported by this OS' shell language.
Install process :
- [#3898][Submitted by M. Keisler, mitsein.net] Fix: When checking perl version, Sympa was using human readable
version notation (5.8.8 for example) instead of the format returned by $] (5.008008 for example).
- [#4453][reported by Chris Hastie] Added dependencies for HTML::TreeBuilder and HTML::FormatText CPAN modules
Internationalization :
- [#3919][reported by M.Denarek] Error "missing locale parameter" would happen whenever a notification is sent to the
listmaster before the current language et set. Now using the default language when set. Also initialized the default
language with 'en'.
- [submitted by A.de Bignicourt, UREC] : fixed a charset problem with custom attributes
LDAP:
- [Reported by F. Perrichon, univ. Lille 2 and C. Zimmer, univ. Nice Sophia Antipolis] LDAP 2 level queries failed as soon
as one of the queries failed during the second passe. Sympa now just issues a warning in the logs, specifying that a
part of the second passe was not successful.
- [Submitted by O. Menkens, Fraunhofer IAIS] Wrong error handling of LDAP searches caused Sympa to be unable to sychronize
sources. Some attributes in the LDAP search were not correctly passed to the function.
List configuration :
- [#3229][#3237][#3518][Reported by T. Berry, NASA and D. Lalot, univ. Aix-Marseille] Lock failed when two processes
were reading the same file, then one of them switched to write mode. It could then modify the file while the other
process was reading, leading to uncomplete informations gathered from reading. Fixed by changing behaviour: Now if
a process wants to switch to or from write mode, it first release the file lock at the filesystem level, then tries
to put a new one. this way, switching to write mode is controlled by the filesystem.
- [#3713][Reported by A. Bernstein, evil-wire.org] Call to functions in the Storage CPAN module could lead to Sympa
processes dying because these functions could issue "croak" message. Fixed by enclosing these call into eval{} blocks.
- [#3596] "spam_protection" list parameter was not used. Just the robot parameter value.
- The anti-XSS mecanism HTML-escape outgoing parameters before web pages are parsed. This leads to quotes '"' replaced
with " while editing list parameters. This could break SQL queries for example. The fix consists in unescaping
HTML characters in edit_list function.
- When notifying the listamaster that an owner had changed her/his mail address, the message was croped. Only on affected
list name was displayed instead of the full list. this was due to a bad parameter sending to the tt2 engine and to a bad
syntax in TT2 FOREACH directive.
- When removing the last data source by manual edition of the config file, the task manager didn't do the last
synchronization needed to remove the last included subscribers. Fixed by checking if a data source still exist after
each synchronization (instead of before).
- [Reported by V. Mathieu, univ. Nancy 2] When deleting the last data source, the subscribers list was not correctly
updated. Fixed by restoring a faulty test in wwsympa.fcgi.
- It was possible to manually remove all the list owners. This is now impossible by taking into account the minimal
cardionality of complex list parameters.
List creation :
- create_list notification failed if listname contained uppercased chars
- When a list was created, Sympa failed to display the liste activation page to listmaster if an info file didn't exist
for this list. Fixed by testing the existence of this file, and, if it isn't found, displaying an informative message
instead.
Message moderation :
- [#3790][Reported by R. Tassoni, National Library of Australia and T. Danel] When displaying a message to moderate
in the web interface, if a document was attached to the message, the link to display the message lead to empty
documents. This was because we didn't take into account the fact that MHonArc put the file in a subdirectory.
Fixed by changing the kind of ergument file passed from scalar to vector.
MIME :
- [#3702][Reported by A. Bernstein, electricembers.net] Some malformed headers caused Sympa to crash by calling a
method on an undefined MIME::Entity::head object. Fixed by testing the definition of this object before calling
the method.
RDBMS support :
- [M.Redinger] reported problems with field names upper cased with Oracle. Now forcing lower cased field names.
- [Submitted by B.C. Aasgaard, Univ. Oslo] Fix several errors int Postgres database definition and usage in Sympa 6.
- [Reported by M. Jozsef, Budapest University of Technology and Economics] When fetching queries result into a hash, the
case of each key string was unsure, as some RDMS could return higher cased field name, for example. This led to
apparently empty queries result when trying to acces a lower case field value that had been returned with a higher case
name. Fixed by systematically lowercasing the field name when fetching results in a hash.
- [Submited by Ryan Fox] Patch to allow informix external data source.
- [submitted by Peter Langhans, univ Zurich] fixed oracl-related issues ($parameter longer than 100 chars would make
errors and "date" is a reserved keyword with Oracle)
Security:
- [reported by T. Retout] SQL injection threat removed by using place holders instead of direct sprint in a query.
- [Submitted by N. Bertrand, univ. Minnesota] Basic logs in debug don't issue the password unencrypted in the logs for
function Auth::ldap_authentication. This way, this password won't be sent unencrypted to a possible syslog server.
- [#4439] [#4440] [reported by O.Berger] security vulnerability which use a file in /tmp.
- [#4430] store temporary files in Sympa's own tmp directory instead of /tmp to prevent symlink attacks
Shared web documents :
- [#1809][Reported by P. von der Hagen, univ. Karlsruhe] Files in the shared directory with regexp special characters
could not be renamed. Fixed by using "\Q" escape signal at the beginning of the regexp (s/\Q$strtofind/strtosubst/).
- [Submitted by H. Moa] When accessing an rss-feed for the shared files of a list upgraded from 5.2b, wwsympa entered a
tight-loop, load went up to 100%, the webfrontend failed making the webserver reply with 500 and a single-processor
system had to be rebooted. The list in question had no shared files. Fixed by checking that we don't use double slashes
in the path to the shared directory.
S/MIME :
- [Submitted by W. Werner, Fraunhofer-Institut SIT] Message signature verification didn't work if user used
different certificate for signing and encrypting AND didn't send both in each message, like Kmail does.
- [Submitted by W. Werner, Fraunhofer-Institut SIT] The path that Sympa used to look for encryption keys had
'.enc' instead of a '@enc' in the file name.
SOAP server:
- [reported by S. Bilbeau, univ. Rennes 1] For trusted applications, when declaring an application in
trusted_applicaitons.conf, if the app name contained a higher case character, the application was not found, because
Sympa compared the app name to its lower-cased version. Fixed by comparing two lower case strings, thus making
the app name completely case insensitive for Sympa.
Web archive:
- Fixing a problem in custom archiver : now the custom archiver MUSt accept two parameters : list and filename. Both
parameters are filled by archived.pl at execution time. wwsympa.conf must contain the absolute path to the custom
archiver script if admins to use this feature.
- [Reported by F. Guilleux, CRU] Searching for a string containing some special characters provoked various errors.
Fixed by escaping characters at the moment we use the search engine and not just when parising the characters.
- [Reported by M. Kretchner, INRIA] It was impossible to remove a message from web archvives or to rebuild them.
this was due to a regexp to prevent archived.pl from using dot-starting files added by some Linux distribution
(as Gentoo). Fixed by extending the regexp.
Web authentication :
- Login banner was shown even though no user_table entry was listed in auth.conf
- [Reported by M. Gorecka-Wolniewicz, Nicolaus Copernicus univ., Torun] In some cases, CAS logout
didn't work, due to a value of "0" trnaformed into an empty string in the session cookie. Fixed by upgrading CGI version.
- [#3947][Reported by S. costard Univ. Haute Bretagne] In the case of CAS authentication, a CAS ticket was requested
for any request in the web interface. Fixed by ensuring that the user email is attached to the session.
- Fix web pages in order to give appropriate messages when requesting first password or password renewal.
- Fix incorrect password storage when crating a new user (add_user_db did not use password finger print as
update_user_db does)
- [#4543] When multiple "ldap" entries were defined in the auth.conf file, only the first one was queried.
Also fixed a bug with the default scope being "base", now "sub".
Web interface:
- [Reported by M.P. Laisne, Rennes Academy] email change through the user preferences in the web interface was our of
order. This was due to a bad initialization of old and new email parameters. Fixed by using values associated to the
ticket.
- [Reported by A. Stephens, Bristol University] A [% list %] TT2 var was trailing after e return directive in javascript.
- [Reported by F. Guilleux] the W3C gives recommendations for the use of GET and POST:
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html#checklist. Sympa was not fully compliant to these recommendations,
leading for example to possible unwanted list deletion by administrators using prefetching tools. Fixed by replacing
all the threatening GET requests by POST requests.
- When using the multiple add form, it was difficult to create a list by copy / paste, because a javascript erased any
data in the textarea on click event. Fixed by modifying said javascript.
- [Submitted by M. Keisler, mitsein.net] Sympa refused to save topics which contained dashes in their name, due to an
excessively selective regexp. Consequently, it was showing lists with such topics as topicsless. Fixed by accepting
dashes in their regexp. Topics can now contain any alphanumeric, plus '-' and '_'. That should be enough for most needs.
- DB logs : 'logs_expiration_period' sympa.conf parameter was not loaded. As a result DB logs were expired every day.
Also added an error message if two virtual hosts use the same URL.
Web list config edition form :
- default value for parameters like owner/visibility are now compliant with the default value defined in %List::pinfo.
- is the edit_list context, some unedited parameters were shown as edited. This has been fixed.
Web template edition :
- [Reported by J.M. Beuken, univ. cat. Louvain] Fix: When copying a template through the web
interface, HTML was not unescaped before writing the file. c onsequently, the file used to reload the page for
template edition had escaped HTML. for critical files such as main.tt2 or title.tt2, this caused the web page diaply
to choke on tt2 parse errors.
- Copy_template failed when multiple directories had to be created (mail_tt2/ll_CC for example). Now calling mkdir_all()
from tools::mk_parent_dir(). Also fixed a typo regarding authz errors handling
5.4.3 05 May 2008
Features:
po/ja.po, po/web_help_ja.po: Introduction of the huge work in progress by Soji Ikeda to update the Japanese translation of the user interface and translate the online help in Japanese.
po/ru.po: Updated Russian translation.
src/Commands.pm: [#3990][Submitted by A. Berstein, electricembers.net] The quiet option has been reactivated for the "reject" mail command.
Bug fixes:
wwsympa/archived.pl: [Reported by M. Kretchner, INRIA] It was impossible to remove a message from web archives or rebuild these archives. This was due to a regexp to prevent archived.pl from using dot-starting files added by some Linux distribution (as Gentoo). Fixed by extending the regexp.
check_perl_modules.pl: [Reported by M. Gorecka-Wolniewicz, Nicolaus Copernicus univ., Torun] In some cases, CAS logout didn't work, due to a value of "0" transformed into an empty string in the session cookie. Fixed by upgrading CGI version.
src/task_manager.pl, wwsympa/archived.pl, wwsympa/bounced.pl: [#3957][Reported by O. Berger, Telecom & Management SudParis] When launching Sympa daemons (other than sympa.pl) with an unknown option, the daemon was still launched instead of failing to launch.
5.4.2 14 April 2008
Features:
po/zh_CN.po: [Submitted by Li Xuejiang, Zhao Yongming, Yahoo!] Simplified Chinese is now fully translated.
Changes:
src/List.pm, src/Upgrade.pm: [Reported by L. Gentis, IUFM Lorraine]When updating a config file while the upgrade process, the "email" parameter value of the "update" paragraph was set to 'listmaster'. However, this value was validated against a regexp for emails. this produced an error log, as 'listmaster' is not a valid email address. Fixed by allowing 'listamster' and 'automatic' strings in this regexp. 'automatic will be used to designate updates done by processes instead of users.
Bug fixes:
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3947][Reported by S. costard Univ. Haute Bretagne] In the case of CAS authentication, a CAS ticket was requested for any request in the web interface. Fixed by ensuring that the user email is attached to the session.
src/List.pm: [Submitted by W. Werner, Fraunhofer-Institut SIT] The path that Sympa used to look for encryption keys had '.enc' instead of a '@enc' in the file name.
src/List.pm: [Submitted by W. Werner, Fraunhofer-Institut SIT] Message signature verification didn't work if user used different certificate for signing and encrypting AND didn't send both in each message, like Kmail does.
src/Upgrade.pm, src/etc/script/create_db.SQLite: [#3915][Submitted by M. Deranek, slonko.net] SQLite support was broken for the session table.
5.4.1 01 April 2008
Bug fixes:
/wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [Reported by J.M. Beuken, univ. cat. Louvain] When copying a template through the web interface, HTML was not unescaped before writing the file. c onsequently, the file used to reload the page for template edition had escaped HTML. for critical files such as main.tt2 or title.tt2, this caused the web page diaply to choke on tt2 parse errors.
Changes:
src/Lock.pm: Increasing log levels in low level functions of Lock.pm.
5.4 27 March 2008
Bug fixes :
/wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: While processing a subscription request, first check if user is member of the list
/wwsympa/bounced.pl: When a bounce file could not be created, nothing was done, so at the next bounced.pl iteration, the faulty report was still present. In such a case, the bounce report is now moved to bad.
/wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: Anybody loading a page from the web archives would presented a HTTP header for the page expiration corresponding to the last time the archive file was modified (this was introduced to limit multiple harvesting of hte same page by web crawlers). The drawback was that, when browsing archives, all the page is not staitc, just the part related to archives. This posed problems for session management. Fixed by testing if a user is a crawler prior to define the expiration header.
/wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3790][Reported by R. Tassoni, National Library of Australia and T. Danel] When displaying a message to moderate in the web interface, if a document was attached to the message, the link to display the message lead to empty documents. This was because we didn't take into account the fact that MHonArc put the file in a subdirectory. Fixed by changing the kind of ergument file passed from scalar to vector.
src/etc/scenari/access_web_archive.intranet, src/etc/scenari/review.intranet, src/etc/scenari/visibility.intranet: [#3744] [remote_addr] variable might not be available for a scenario. [env->remote_addr] should be used instead
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#1809][Reported by P. von der Hagen, univ. Karlsruhe] Files in the shared directory with regexp special characters could not be renamed. Fixed by using "\Q" escape signal at the beginning of the regexp (s/\Q$strtofind/strtosubst/).
src/Lock.pm: [#3229][#3237][#3518][Reported by T. Berry, NASA and D. Lalot, univ. Aix-Marseille] Lock failed when two processes were reading the same file, then one of them switched to write mode. It could then modify the file while the other process was reading, leading to uncomplete informations gathered from reading. Fixed by changing behaviour: Now if a process wants to switch to or from write mode, it first release the file lock at the filesystem level, then tries to put a new one. this way, switching to write mode is controlled by the filesystem.
wwsympa/SympaSession.pm, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: Bug related to session lost when RSS access comes from the same browser as web browser.
src/PlainDigest.pm: [#3702][Reported by A. Bernstein, electricembers.net] Some malformed headers caused Sympa to crash by calling a method on an undefined MIME::Entity::head object. Fixed by testing the definition of this object before calling the method.
src/List.pm: [#3713][Reported by A. Bernstein, electricembers.net] Call to functions in the Storage CPAN module could lead to Sympa processes dying because these functions could issue "croak" message. Fixed by enclosing these call into eval{} blocks.
src/etc/script/create_db.Pg: [Reported by S. Kristoffersen, univ. Oslo] Missing "DROP TABLE session_table;" line in Pg creation script. Field id_session in table session_table had the type "int4" which was too small for the size of session id. Fixed by changing type to int8.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3479] http://listes.mydomain.fr/sympa/dump/mylist/light returned an error if authentication was required and not satisfied. Now Sympa asks for authentification instead.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3596] "spam_protection" list parameter was not used. Just the robot parameter value.
Changes:
src/SQLSource.pm: [M.Redinger] Reported problems with field names upper cased with Oracle. Now forcing lower cased field names.
src/Commands.pm, src/List.pm, src/report.pm: [#3636] When accepting multiple subscription requests, the list of pending subscription was not updated. This was due to two loops over email addresses one the one hand and over files on the other hand which were embedded in the wrong order, causing only the first file to be parsed. When an authorized subscription request is received, if the sender is subscribed already, the request is rejected.
5.4b.1 31 January 2008
New features :
[A.de Bignicourt, UREC]: Custom user attributes
This feature allows the use of per list custom user attributes. Once defined by the list owner, a form will be presented to new list members on the subscription web page. These custom attributes are either optional or mandatory. The list owner will then see the provided user information while taking the subscription decision. Custom attributes can later be viewed from the review page and editsubscriber page. Custom attributes are stored in a dedicated field of the subscriber_table DB table, as XML data.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: Anti-XSS protection. Sympa escapes any HTML that is not its generated by its templates. Some exceptions are the homepage file, which is filtered using the perl module HTML::StripSripts.
[#3235][requested by T.Berry, NASA] Allow list owners and editors to set a visibility option. If set to 'conceal', the person is not listed in the list panel. This new option also applies to owner_include and editor_include parameters.
[requested by S.Carmody, Internet2] New 'remove_outgoing_headers' sympa.conf and list parameter. This parameter
allows to define a list of SMTP header fields that should be removed before
a message is distributed to list members. Thus it even makes it possible to
remove the header fields that Sympa sets.
The existing 'remove_headers' can now be set in a list config file.
New 'ignore_x_no_archive_header_feature' sympa.conf parameter ; if set to
'on', x-no-archive SMTP header field is ignored if found in an incoming
message (sympa will archive the message).
custom_vars. Users can define custom parameters in lists and use them in scenarios and mail templates.
User pictures are now showed (if available) in the web archives. Pictures are showed to authenticated users only, to prevent web harvesters to get them.
Online help is now internationalized. Use [%helploc%] tags anywhere in the code to create strings that will be located in web_help.po catalogue.
[#3520][Submitted by C. Paul, evil-wire.org] New parameter in sympa.conf: "allow_subscribe_if_pending". Default value is "on". If set to "off", it is forbidden to add subscribers (through wwsympa) to a list whose status is different from "open".
[#3357][P.Baumgart, British Telecom] LDAP alias manager is now LDAPS enabled and can be configured via a separate configuration file.
We've also added a new 'alias_manager' sympa.conf parameter that allows to use such alternate mail aliases management scripts.
Add custom button in main menu by config
https://www.sympa.org/wiki/manual/conf-parameters/part1#main_menu_custom_button
[requested by B.Thale, Motorola] Keep the 'nomenu' attribute from page to page. Note that the nomenu attribute is lost whenever the user hits a button that uses POST. A better implementation would require the nomenu attribute to be attached to the user session.
Five new languages supported in Sympa:
Almost complete:
- Korean: Mark Smith and Kang Tae-Hee (HP)
- Simplified Chinese: Mark Smith and Xun Yan (HP)
- Tradional Chinese: Mark Smith (HP)
Still partial but on good way:
- Russian: Chernysh
- Catalan: Jordi Deu-Pons
Changes :
Character strings in po files are now sorted following the files they are found in and their order of apparition in the files.
src/Scenario.pm: Now, in scenari using SMTP header fields, if a message exists, the value of the header is defaulted to an empty strings if it is empty or missing.
***** NOTE 1 :YOU MAY HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR WEB SERVER CONFIGURATION! We definitely disabled the setuid solution to run **wwsympa.fcgi**.
***** If the script you used in your web server configuration was wwsympa.fcgi (to whom you had attributed the "S" bit) you MUST change
***** your Apache configuration so that the script you use becomes wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi instead of wwsympa.fcgi.
***** NOTE 2 :YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR SOAP SERVER CONFIGURATION! We ALSO definitely disabled the setuid solution to run **sympa_soap_server.fcgi**.
***** If the script you used in your web server configuration was sympa_soap_server.fcgi (to whom you had attributed the "S" bit) you MUST change
***** your Apache configuration so that the script you use becomes sympa_soap_server-wrapper.fcgi instead of sympa_soap_server.fcgi.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: Now wwsympa switches to maintenance mode if not run under the right user id. It quits the maintenace mode as soon as the user id is the good one.
web_tt2/review.tt2: The Dump button is now proposed to list owners only
src/List.pm, src/SQLSource.pm: [#3550] Change: Changed the SQLSource module to keep track of existing DB handler and their status. The new code allows to save connect() if $dbh already exists. It also allows to prevent multiple "DB connectoin" notifications to be sent to the listmaster ; only the first one is sent.
mail_tt2/listmaster_notification.tt2, wwsympa/archived.pl, src/tools.pl: [#3388] If archived.pl can't create the list archive directory when archiving the first message, a notification is set to the listmaster, and the message is saved to spool/outgoing/bad.
mail_tt2/listmaster_notification.tt2, wwsympa/bounced.pl: When a problem occurs while handling a bounce, the message is saved to a "spool/bounce/bad" directory.
src/List.pm: [#3219][Charles Paul, evil-wire.org] Optimizations to List::get_list and List::get_which. List::get_lists() calls from List::get_which() now only load lists of interest, ie those that were determined by querying the subscriber_table DB table.
src/List.pm: [#1174] default_user_options now applies to included list members. Sympa now ignore most user attributes coming from the original data source (date, update_date, reception, visibility). It make sence to adopt this behavior because these data were set in another list's context and should not be inherited in the new list.
src/Conf.pm, web_tt2/menu.tt2, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3537] In web archives, sets a "Last-Modified" HTTP header to prevent frequent web-harvesting.
[#2989][Reported by J.C. Delepine, univ. Picardie] If "apply" has the value "forced", then a single "reply" button is available, without any choice. The reply is sent to the addresses specified by "value". Otherwise, the user has three choices: reply to sender, to list or to both.
Web mail composer is now able to send messages to several recipients.
Genralization of "use strict vars"
wwsympa/SympaSession.pm, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: Reduce SQL queries for sessions. Don't exist if new session abort.
Also renew the cookie (a random used as session_id) so it make session hijacking much more difficult.
src/List.pm: [#3611][Reported by A. Berstein, electricembers.net] Adds a "Precedence:" field with value "bulk" in addition to the preexisting one with the value "list" to let MS exchange autoresponders ignore mails from Sympa.
src/Task.pm: [Reported by M. Deranek, slonko.net] task_manager now ignores files whose name starts with a dot in the spool directory. this done to avoid errors in distributions (such as gentoo) which add doted (system) files in the file system.
src/sympa.pl, src/List.pm: [#3253][Reported by P. Ferrari, riseup.net] When all editors and owners have set their reception mode to "nomail", a message is sent to all of them instead of generating an internal server error and sendinf a message to listmaster.
src/Commands.pm, src/List.pm, src/Scenario.pm, src/sympa.pl, src/tools.pl: [#3662][Submitted by J. Kirkland, westover.org] Message headers can now be used by any scenario. Admin can use, for example, match([msg_header-><HeaderName>],/someregexp/) smtp -> do_it in a scenario, for any message header.
web_tt2/add_request.tt2: multiple_add : a JS to clear textarea on click
src/List.pm: [Reported by C. desmoulins and J. Beretta, Orange] During an LDAP include, we didn't check if an email address was present several times, leading to a database field "include_sources_subscriber" containing the LDAP source id as many times as the address had been found. Fixed by preventing an address to be taken into account if it has been met already in the LDAP query result set.
Bug fixes :
src/Log.pm: Sympa no longer crashes when logs are not available.
src/List.pm, /src/admin.pm: When a new Lock object is created, we didn't check that the object tcreation had succeeded. On one occasion, it made task-manager to crash. Now, if the object isn't defined after the "new"
invocation, the functions return undef.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3363][Reported by M. Deranek, slonko.net] The HTML document date was set to 1 jan 1970 instead of current date, causing some browser to be unable to unlog because they seem to compare cookie date to document date for expiration purpose.
src/SQLSource.pm, /src/Upgrade.pm:[#3305][#3136][#3319] [Reported by G. Haverkamp and M. Deranek] Support of SQLite was broken.
src/List.pm: [#3298][Reported by A. Ma and S. Ikeda] Fix: Sympa would add a "Re:" to each reply, leading to possibly very long chains of "Re:" in messages subjects.
src/List.pm: [#3182][Reported by G. Bouteille, univ. Rennes 1 and J.H. Belpois, univ. Brest] Fix: When instantiating a family with list containing an include_sql_query paragraph, new parameters appeared in the paragraph (db_user, db_host, db_psswd). This was because we used to pass a ref to the hash containing list config values to functions which added values to this hash. We now pass a copy of this hash, temporary values are then never added to the hash finally saved.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3334, #3308][reported by C.Peck, wm.edu and D. Stefano] Dump of bouncers would only return the first 25 entries.
src/tools.pl: [#3499][reported by R.Morvan] Prevent sympa.pl to crash while processing malformed multipart command message. Error message is "Can't call method "effective_type" on an undefined value".
Now tools::as_singlepart() does not recurse with an undefined $msg parameter.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: sympa was not able to create missing picture directory in a recursive way
src/Log.pm: [#3137][Reported by M. Walther, Sun] Error in SQL request for web logs visualization. "GROUP BY" was used instead of "ORDER BY".
web_tt2/rss.tt2: [#2959] [proposed by Luoh Ren-Shan] escape sensible chars in RSS title
soap/SympaTransport.pm, src/task_manager.pl, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: Some Sympa processes did not initialize the List.pm cache between 2 requests. It could lead to false responses from these processes that still used the cache in memory.
web_tt2/menu.tt2, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3541] The code and web templates have been changed to still provide the list of topics, even though the default_home is set to 'lists'.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3466] Could no more change user's email from the preference page.
wwsympa/bounced.pl: [Reported by M. Anderson, riseup.net] Sympa didn't support ARF format correctly. errors were thrown when Original-Rcpt-To field was missing, though this field is optional. We now separate two steps of control: the Feedback-Type field value control and the Original-Rcpt-To field value control.
wwsympa/bounce-lib.pl: [Submitted by M. Quintero, North Central College, Naperville, IL] Bounces from Postfix were not always properly spotted due to a bad identification of the postfix bounce message. Fixed by extending the regexp to match a new kind of message.
mail_tt2/listmaster_notification.tt2, src/List.pm: [#3272][Reported by M. Anderson, riseup.net] In some cases still to elucidate, the "verp_rate" parameter trailing percent sign disappears before being use. This would mak sympa crash. We now return undef if this parameter hasn't the right structure.
web_tt2/main.tt2, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#2222] RSS feeds for web archives and shared documents are only proposed if access to these contents is available and public. This is required because RSS does not provide authentication methods.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3397] while running change_email(), don't try to update the member in DB if new email address is already member of the list.
src/Conf.pm, src/sympa.pl, task_manager.pl, tools.pl: [#3234] Bounces in spool/bounce/OTHER/ were never cleaned up. Cleaning is now intergrated into the "expire_bounce" task, and the existence duration of such bounces is ruled by a new parameter : clean_delay_queueother.
soap/sympasoap.pm, src/Commands.pm: [#1287] ADD commands are now rejected if user is already member. This will prevent multiple welcome messages to be sent.
src/Family.pm: [Reported by D. Lalot, univ. Aix-Marseille] Opening XML files when instantiating families would make Sympa crash under Debian Etch. Fixed by switching "<:utf8" opening mode to "<:raw".
src/Family.pm, src/List.pm: [#3528][Reported by D. Lalot, univ. Aix-Marseille] A list created by family instantiation without "config_changes" file in its directory would be set to status "error_config". Now, if the file is missing we assume that no changes occur. We still set the list in status error_config if the file exists but can't be opened.
**Same behaviour implemented with the file "param_constraint.conf".**
mail_tt2/invite.tt2: [Reported by M. Bouissou] Invite message suggested to reply to the message to accept to subscribe to a list. This led to an answer with "unknown command" error. Fixed by removing this message and giving an answer address and an appropriate subject string for people who couldn't hit the "mailto" link.
src/sympa.pl: [Reported by M Bouissou] Command "quit" was ignored in mail commands. This was due to the correction of bug fix in Rev 3548: "Commands starting with 'qui' would be skipped, including QUIET". Fixed by removing comments and changing the regexp to match lines containing 'quit', 'stop', 'end' or '-' ONLY.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3661][Reported by S. Kristofferesen, univ. Oslo] In-Reply-To header did not follow rfc2822 format: opening '<' and closing '>' were missing.
src/tools.pl: [Reported by C. Andrews, Boston College] Ampersand character was forbidden in email addresses though it is authorized by the RFC 2822.
web_tt2/copy_template.tt2: [#3032][Submitted by J. Kirkland] It was impossible to copy a template through wwsympa to a language-specific directory because the lang was no passe as argument to Sympa. Fixed by modifying the template.
web_tt2/serveradmin.tt2: All the radio buttons in the form used by the "set_log_level" action didn't share the same control name, thus preventing the web client from expliting them as a set of buttons. This prevented the value from being correctly processed.
src/Datasource.pm: In a review, data sources name were not displayed because they were searched by comparing a MD5 hash on their parameters to the value stored in the database. As for complex datasources, these description were stored in hash, the order of the parameters was not fixed, leadinf to different values of MD5 for the same data sources. Fixed by sorting the hashes according to the hash keys, storing the result into an array and computing the MD5 with the array.
5.4a.4 25 September 2007
New features :
New session management : introduction of http session in order to replace a lot of cookies, for better user interface and security.
-new table session_table
-new module SympaSession.pm
-new features
- from admin page set log level for the current session
- from admin page list active sessions
- from admin page change user email identity
-new task to purge old sessions from table (inactive delay to remove session is set by the sympa.conf parameter session_expiration_period (defaul 1 month)
-session start at first hit usually with an anonymous user. The session continue when the user logging.
-cookie lang replaced by a session parameter
-cookie sympa-user removed
-Crawler detection is controled by /etc/crawlers_detection.conf.
src/Log.pm: Added "trace" log facility to facilitate development messages insertion, visualization and deletion.
Changes :
check_perl_modules.pl, src/tools.pl, src/tt2.pl, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: XSS protection: Any output web parameter is filtered
to avoid creation of XSS vector. Change:Additionnaly, any HTML file put in the shared directory is filtered using StripScripts.
Change:HTML::StripScripts::Parser CPAN module is now mandatory.
src/Conf.pm: [requested by JM.Martins da Cruz] Added X-Sympa-To and X-Family-To header fields to those header that should be
removed by Sympa for outgoing mails
web_tt2/home.tt2: Moved the search list form to the top of the Sympa home page.
Makefile.am, Makefile.in, configure, configure.in, src/sympa_wizard.pl, wwsympa/Makefile, wwsympa/wwslib.pm,
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: icons are now included in the sympa static content directory. Consequently, the
"--with-iconsdir" configure option and the "icons_url" wwsympa.conf parameter are no longer used. The default path to
icons is now {sympa home}/static_content/icons and the default icons URL is http://host/icons/.
src/tools.pl: refined Simple XSS filter. Don't ding on simple "<" only, but on <script, <meta and <fdfds javascript:
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: Web archive search is now performed by default in the whole archive instead of just the current month.
src/Upgrade.pm, src/etc/script/create_db.Pg, src/etc/script/create_db.mysql: added indexs on email
column in both admin_table and subscriber_table. Also changed the order of column in CREATE INDEX directives.
src/Conf.pm, wwsympa/SympaSession.pm: taskmanager remove anonymous sessions if older then anonymous_session_table Sympa
conf parameter
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [M.Massar, univ Kaiserslautern] : Sympa is now able to get the Email in SubjAltName. As I
was not able to find the mentioned patch to mod_ssl to get SSL_CLIENT_S_EMAIL exported, I wrote another patch based on SSL_CLIENT_CERT
from "SSLOptions +ExportCertData". REAPPLY the patch that had been removed.
src/Conf.pm: css_url default value is now static_content/css/current_robot. This make it possible to set a
single Apache Alias directive for static_content, shared by all virtual hosts.
src/List.pm: optimization to skip some code in List::load()
src/sympa.pl: [suggested by T.Berry, NASA] Changed the process identifier in the logs from (message) to (distribute)
Bug fixes :
src/List.pm, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: changes of scenario from the admin web interface did not seem to work because the
'selected' attributes were cumulated in %Scenario::all_scenarios. Now only pass the required scenario attributes (name and web_title)
to the TT2 web parser.
src/Scenario.pm: [#3306][Reported by C. Andrews, boston College] The List::verify resolution of the true test would be applied for
all custom conditions that have "true", "any" or "all" in them. Fix: Checks that condiotn starts and ends with the serached condition name.
soap/sympasoap.pm, src/admin.pm, src/sympa.pl, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: info and config files were not properly encoded
when a list was created using the web or SOAP. fixed by adding the declaration of origin in create_list_old call
and then testing this value to know how to handle encoding.
wwsympa/Auth.pm: [#3183][] : Trusted application name check was case sensitive, xhreas it is not supposed to be the case.
Fixed by lowercasing comparison in remote_app_check_password().
src/Language.pm: [#3269][Submitted by J. Ãstman, Helsinki univ.of technology]: sympa would take the LANGUAGE environment
variable as its default instead of its lang parameter value, because this is Gettext default behaviour.
src/Conf.pm, src/Family.pm, src/List.pm, wwsympa/bounce-lib.pl: [#3271][Reported by M. Anderson, riseup.net]
"$/" value was changed in several places without using a proper "local" operator to prevent system-wide field seperator contamination.
src/Conf.pm: robot-specific 'static_content_path' parameter was never used to build 'css_path' parameter value.
wwsympa/archived.pl: [reported by Alaxa]: rebuild() subroutine did not include code to create index file if missing
soap/sympasoap.pm: "use strict" into "use strict vars" to prevent "Can't use string xx as a subroutine ref while strict
refs" error
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [reported by C.Peck, wm.edu] dump of bouncers would only return the first 25 entries
src/List.pm: [reported by Y.Blusseau]: include_remote_file feature was not supported to include owners or editors.
src/List.pm: [reported by Y.Blusseau]: $include_file was altered before _load_include_admin_user_file() calls.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: missing ',' in check_list_authz() call. The change_email action could therefore never succeed.
wwsympa/bounce-lib.pl: [reported by R.Levo, J.Hopkins university]: some rfc1891 compliant bounces were not correctly parsed,
whenever the "Status" line included the status code + additional comments. The regular expression has been extended.
soap/sympasoap.pm: [reported by O.Berger, INT]: typo in List::store_susbscription_request() would make
sympa_soap_server.fcgi die while receiving a subscription request with moderated subscription.
The "use strict" pragma has been added and many other typos have been fixed.
src/Upgrade.pm: [reported by C.Peck, William and Mary university]: Upgrade process could make subscribers
unsubscribeable. The subscribed_subscriber DB field was first set to 1 but then turned into 0 (because of an old enum2int problem).
Changed the order of the upgrade processes.
src/Conf.pm: [A.Hicks, Persistent Objects]: css_url and css_path are not being set from the main config if they do not
exist in the robot config as they are being set before the static_content_* checks
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: 'send_me' feature was broken because of an incorrect regexp on 'month' parameter
src/Upgrade.pm: [reported by J.M.Martins de Cruz]: incorrect Language::SetLang() calls while migrating create_list_templates
and families to UTF-8
src/etc/script/create_db.Oracle: [reported by F.Lachapelle,Sophos]: incorrect index name
src/admin.pm: [#3229][reported by T.Berry, NASA]: Sympa did not perform a lock before list config file was created/updated.
This could leed to corrupted config files
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: no more use the buggy regexp $tools::regexp{'html-free'}. It would regexp any string
containing '60' or '3c'
po/check_locales.pl, src/Language.pm: [reported by JG.Pailloncy, O.Girard and JMM. da Cruz] : setlocale() failed on FreeBSD
because locales syntax were not standard (ll_CC.ISO8859-N instead of ll_CC.ISO-8859-N). Now using utf-8 as encoding, thus solving
the problem. Also changed the algorithm used by check_locales.pl to be the same as Language::SetLang()
5.4a.2 7 August 2007
New features :
src/List.pm: Added distribution_ttl parameter which will be used when an action should check if a sync_include is needed
prior to be executed.
src/List.pm: When sending a message, Sympa now checks whether the last include is older than ttl OR distribute_ttl if
this one is defined. If it is, sychronization is done.
soap/sympasoap.pm, src/Commands.pm, src/List.pm, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: removes "sync_include" task when a synchronization
is triggered by another event than task processing.
Review actions on list using includes trigger a user's list synchronization.
Changes :
src/List.pm, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: added a new Robot package inside List.pm. Also optimized List::get_lists() to cache
the results within a session and prevent multiple browsing of the expl/ directory
soap/sympasoap.pm, src/Commands.pm, src/List.pm, src/Makefile,src/Scenario.pm, src/sympa.pl, web_tt2/d_control.tt2,
web_tt2/edit_list_request.tt2, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: new Scenario.pm module. The way autorization are loaded has changed :
they are now stored in a central place, ie a single copy of a scenario is stored if 2 lists use it. This should make the sympa
processes consume less memory when running lots of lists. The scenario are now reloaded whenever they change on disk, except
for operations that require good performances (like the 'lists' command). Inclusion of third party scenarios is now performed at
evaluation time (in request_action()) and not while loading the scenario as it used to be.
***** user_data_source values of 'file' and 'database' are no more supported. A migration precedure is run during the upgrade process
***** This change will allow to optimize the code where 'file' user_data_source still had to be supported
check_perl_modules.pl: [reported by S.Hornburg] remove unuseful dependency for Crypt::OpenSSL::X50 perl module. It was
introduced in revision 3754.
soap/sympasoap.pm, src/List.pm, src/Upgrade.pm, src/etc/script/arc2webarc.pl, src/etc/script/mod2html.pl,
src/etc/script/p12topem.pl, src/sympa.pl, src/task_manager.pl, wwsympa/archived.pl, wwsympa/bounced.pl, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi:
Now set List::use_db in Upgrade::Probe_db() and List::check_db_connect() to prevent "Sympa not setup for DBI" errors.
check_perl_modules.pl: Sympa requires Perl 5.8 (for encoding features)
src/task_manager.pl: check the $end variable before processing each task, thus making a kill -TERM more quickly
processed
src/Log.pm, subst.pl: optimizations to save most calls to do_log()
src/List.pm: optimizations to lower the List::new() calls and perform locks on list config files only if reloading is
required
Bug fixes :
wwsympa/wwslib.pm: [#2931][A.GAVARA, INPL Nancy] CAS authentication would fail because http was used instead of https.
Fixed get_my_url() to use HTTPS environment variable instead of SSL_PROTOCOL and SSL_PROTOCOL_VERSION.
src/task_manager.pl: [#3142][submitted by Y. BLUSSEAU] A typo made the stop() command fail to remove tasks.
soap/sympasoap.pm: [Reported by P. David, univ. Strasbourg] In some very rare occurences, the session identifier would be
constituted of decimal numbers only AND start with at least one "0" (zero) character. In this case, this string was considered a
number by sympasoap.pm and the zero removed, thus shortening - and invalidating - the id. This would prevent the user from being
authorized to see pages in the wiki.
soap/sympasoap.pm: Avoid potentially forged cookie from SOAP client.
src/List.pm, src/mail.pm: use 'warning' log level instead of 'warn'
src/Family.pm, src/admin.pm: config files generated by instantiate_family were not UTF-8 but ISO. Now opening files as
UTF-8.
soap/sympa_soap_client.pl, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: sympa_soap_client.pl now takes into account the "--service" and
"--service_parameter" arguments for "play_soap()" function.
src/tools.pl, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#2960][Reported by L. Ren-Shan] First attempt at XSS prevention. Now prevents such
intrusions in the web interface.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [reported by Alessio] : a security problem would allow a user to directly access arctxt/* files or
.mhonarc.db files. A %in_negative_regexp hash has been added to define forbidden expressions in parameters. XSS-related code has
also been changed.
5.3.2 13 June 2007
Bug fixes :
/src/List.pm : logic for setting 'keep_trying' option to SQLSource::connect() was upside down. As a result, initial DB creation could not happen.
/src/etc/mhonarc-ressources.tt2 : [#3126][Reported by E. Koblinger, uhulinux.hu] Removed "keepspace" option from MIME options to avoid inclusion of useless " " sequences.
/web_tt2/home.tt2 : [reported by R.Touchais] No more refer to a URL on the front page
5.3 22 May 2007
New features :
/src/Conf.pm, /wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi,/wwsympa/cookielib.pm : [proposed by P.Schober, Univ Vienna] added logout feature to generic_sso. This required adding a new sympa_sso_id HTTP cookie to keep track of which SSO was used to login. Also reorganized the cookielib subroutines.
Changes :
/web_tt2/login_menu.tt2, /web_tt2/loginbanner.tt2: replaced the "magic authentication" with the SSO service name, defined in auth.conf.
/src/List.pm: [#3097]: moved the code that remove SMTP header fields (defined by the remove_headers parameter) before the archiving code.
/po/pt_BR.po: [submitted by Prof. P.E.M. Almeida] Updated brazilian translation.

/src/Upgrade.pm: During upgrade process, if an existing primary key is incomplete, it is completed.
/src/Upgrade.pm: [requested by S.Amrani, Gendarmerie Nationale] Change: probe_db() would previously alter DB field format if different from the expected format. Now accept fields with a size larger than expected.
Bug fixes :
/check_perl_modules.pl : [#3107][E.Koblinger, uhulinux] DBI 1.48 is required by use of selectall_hashref()
/src/List.pm, /src/Message.pm: [reported by T.Berry, NASA] Empty Subject field were replaced with 'Charset'. This seems to be a MIME::EncWords::decode_mimewords() bug. Also fixed problems with custom subject parsing that was still using the old
parser::parse_tpl().
/src/bouncequeue.c, /src/familyqueue.c, /src/queue.c: [#2945][D.Jahnke-Zumbusch] queue, bouncequeue and familyqueue scripts were removing the first "From xx" line found even though it was not part of SMTP headers. This caused problems with Postif if the 'F' flag was not set in master.cf, because postfix would not add the expected "From xx" Header field to the delivered message.
The code has been fixed to look for the "From xx" in the first line of the message only.
/src/tt2.pl: [#3086 Submitted by S. Hornburg, linuxia.de] When Sympa failed to create a template object, the last system error was displayed instead of the last Template error.
/wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [reported by L.Sousa, univ. do Algarve] Change: don't print the list_menu if info scenario forbid access to list info.
/src/Upgrade.pm: [Reported by T. Davis, Metaphor studios] Useless warnings regarding PRIMARY KEY and INDEX at upgrade no longer appear.
/src/Upgrade.pm: [Reported by X. Moghrabi, Objectweb] Former indexes are removed if necessary to avoid double indexing of primary keys.
/src/tools.pl: [#3075] file were renamed with a parasite '\'
/src/List.pm: [Submitted by M. Gaudet, EHESS] Encoding problems when upgrading from versions of pre-all-UTF-8 era. config files were saved into UTF-8 without character conversion which messed list subjects and some admin values.
/src/Upgrade.pm: [Reported by M. Gaudet, EHESS] Resolves encoding problems for lists' info files when upgrading from version 4.1.5 in lists where no 'filesystem_encoding' parameter was set.
/src/List.pm: Definition of a default LDAP port (389) for include_ldap_xxx was leeding Sympa to use 389 port for LDAPS (instead of 636 port)
/src/Upgrade.pm: [deb#418836][Reported by O. Berger, INT] Fix: SHOW FIELDS failed while upgrading. Now removing the dbname part in the tables() return value.
/src/List.pm: [T.Berry, NASA] "Undefined subroutine &Task::list_tasks called at /usr/local/jpl/msg/list/sympa/bin/List.pm line 12333". The new version of List::purge() uses Task::list_tasks() subroutine but a "use Task" pragma is missing in List.pm.
/src/List.pm: Error "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference" while processing digests. Fixed the parameter loading procedure to handle correctly defaults (structured parameter with no default in subentries)

src/etc/mhonarc-ressources.tt2, wwsympa/archived.pl: [#3013][submitted by P. Timmons, Ec. Polytechnique Montreal] : The button "toggle selection"
did not trigger its action and produced a javascript error instead. Plus added some pod documentation.
web_tt2/css.tt2: [#2975]removed a '{' in excess at the end of file which would cause two javascript errors at each page loading
("Selector expected. Invalid rule set ignored." and "unexpected end of file while looking for closing } of an invalid rule set.").
Leaving IE proprietary "zoom" property. Must be useful in some way.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [#3012][submitted by P. Timmons, Ec. Polytechnique Montreal] Robot listmaster couldn't edit scenarios due to the $robot parameter not being called by is_listmaster() function in do_dump_scenario().

that only the current list logs can be viewed. Also simplified the code. Fixed the resize feature. The sortby feature is still
buggy
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: arcsearch would crash wwsympa process if provided a search expression with both invalid expression and
\n, because tools::escape_regexp() does not apply on multi-line. Changed the allowed regexp for wwsympa incoming parameters to
forbid \n in most of them.
5.3b.3 7 February 2007
New features :
STDERR of daemons is redirected to a file. If process crashes, next process started will detect the failure and send a notice to listmaster.

argument, and an extra argument representing date/time. MHonArc resource file was modified so that it may generate output
including this filter spec as nessessity.
Note that this spec will be available for newly-updated archives. To apply this improvement to all past archives, it is nessessary
that all archives are rebuilt.
Changes :
po/ Translations updatfs from pootle.sympa.org
***** If your RDBMS is MySQL, you need it to be at least version 4.1.

Bug fixes :
src/Log.pm: db_logs were expired too early (parameter expressed in days instead of months)
web_tt2/error.tt2: [requested by C.Andrews, Boston College] Added an error message for list creation failure. It is required when
an existing listname has been used ; we cannot get the error diagnostic from admin::create_list_old() though

Now opening archives as bytes (not utf8) to prevent decoding
wwsympa/Marc/Search.pm: arcsearch_id would fail on some messages.
Marc::Search expects mhonarc to add X-Subject data to generated HTML files. Some examples were found with X-Subject
value split among 2 lines. Marc::Search::search() is now able to parse split X-Subject entries.

src/: List.pm, mail.pm, tt2.pl: [S.Ikeda] [ID 1396] Body or subject header were occationally empty. Reproduced by: Sympa CVS
HEAD with Encode 2.08. Not reproduced by: Sympa CVS HEAD with Encode 2.12, 2.18.
- Body of service message is removed at all when its source contains non-UTF-8-compliant sequence. - Subject body of
distributed message is removed when original subject contains unencoded non-ASCII sequence.
It may be caused by a bug in Encode module, RT#8872: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=8872
src/SQLSource.pm: set SQL client preference regarding character encoding to UTF8. Otherwise we can't determine how data

&Language::GetCharset() in the code These changes will make it easier to mode all PO files to UTF-8
mail_tt2/, src/: [Soji Ikeda] changes have been made to switch from Perl Unicode to UTF-8:
- read raw config files then to convert them to UTF-8.
- change Language::gettext()'s output from Unicode to UTF-8.
- remove Template::Directive::OUTPUT hack (see src/tt2.pl).

Changes :
src/etc/script/arc2webarc.pl: [reported by D.Ghent, UMBC] [ID 927] arc2webarc.pl failed
with big lists (lots of messages) because all messages were stored in memory. Now process
one log file at a time.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [requested by M.Ward] [ID 935] When renaming a list, custom_subject
is not updated with the new list name
[S.Amrani, Gendarmerie Nat.] alias management can now be disabled. You should set the
'sendmail_aliases' parameter to 'none'
***** Change: config.bin files are no more used unless the new cache_list_config sympa.conf parameter

web_tt2/arcsearch.tt2: [A.Bernstein] [ID 899] Minor bugs and cosmetic improvements
in archive search results
1. In the presentation of search results in the archive, the listing of parameters that
was used for the search is incorrect because of various typos in the arcsearch.tt2 file.
2. Search results are hard to read because messages blend together, so I've made minor changes
(making them list elements), and also added some linebreaks and removed some confusing
feedback (the "Results" lines at the bottom).
web_tt2/arcsearch_form.tt2: [A.Bernstein] [ID 900] Cosmetic reorganization of the archive advanced
search page
doc/sympa.tex.tpl: Added comments about the requirements on the aliases file
web_tt2/editsubscriber.tt2, wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [A.Bernstein] [ID 901]

web_tt2/suboptions.tt2: [A.Bernstein] Subscribers can now edit their gecos on a list
src/etc/mhonarc-ressources.tt2: now provide archives mass-deletion also from the threaded page
src/etc/mhonarc-ressources.tt2: [A.Bernstein] [ID 905] The threaded view is more useful
if you can see the date of each message in the list. This requires both adding the date
field to a few lines in mhonarc-ressources.tt2 and adding two new resources that weren't
customized at all before.
po/: en_US.po, fr.po: use sympa.pot as the default en_US.po
po/en_US.po, src/Language.pm: changed charset for English from us-ascii to utf-8
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [M.Massar, univ Kaiserslautern] Sympa is now able to get the Email in SubjAltName.

This prevents "duplicate entries error" in DB tables
src/List.pm: hide closed lists, even to listmasters
Bug fixes :
src/etc/script/ldap_alias_manager.pl: [A.Gavara, INPL Nancy] [ID 953] added missing -owner aliases
; fixed $tt2_include_path construction
wwsympa/archived.pl: sort archives directories before expiring ; otherwise latest months might expire.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [reported by S.Amrani, Gendarmerie Nat.] After editing a subscriber email,
the list owner might get a "not subscribed to list" error. The bug happened because the do_set()
is used by both list members and list owners. Wwsympa now used the previous_action information to
bring the user back to the right page.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [reported by P.Von Der Hagen, Karlsruhe Univ.] [ID 876]
Sympa sends message "topics have changed" when owner is changed
mail_tt2/message_report.tt2: [reported by P.Von Der Hagen, Karlsruhe Univ.] [ID 878] used incorrect
variable in mail report
src/sympa.pl: [reported by S.Amrani, Gendarmerie Nat.] sympa.pl would die when processing
a message for unknownlist-request. The error message was : "Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine
call" Fixed a buggy call to chomp.
src/sympa.pl: [requested by P.Farmer, ZVENO] [ID 828] on OS X 10.3 scripts can't change their
real UID. Now checking that the UID change succeeded.
src/etc/mhonarc-ressources.tt2: [A.Bernstein] [ID 898] Numerous bugs in mhonarc-ressources.tt2
for thread view When viewing an archive in threaded order, the first/previous/next/last buttons
all return incorrectly to chronological view. This happens because the line in the
mhonarc-ressources.tt2 that creates these buttons is an exact copy of the one from the chronological
view section, with "PREVPGLINK" and "NEXTPGLINK" instead of "TPREVPGLINK" and "TNEXTPGLINK".
mail_tt2/send_auth.tt2: [reported by W.Werner, Fraunhofer] When using x509 list certificates,
reply-to would be forced to list-request. Added a reply-to header field to the send_auth.tt2 template
src/etc/script/: [reported by P.Bricourt, Mongueurs] still refering to idp_netimap DB field
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [reported by J.Abbott, univ Duke] sending a mail from the web archives would
raise an error if the mail subject contained unusual characters. The subject regexp has been extended.

wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [reported by JM.Bourdin, IUFM Dijon] visibility authorization scenario was not
evaluated to compute the "your lists" box.
src/List.pm: [BugID 750] include_sql_query requests would fail with Oracle.
Apparently the ->rows() method does not return the number of rows. We now use fetchrow_arrayref()
to get rows, thus allowing to differenciate an empty field an the last row.
wwsympa/bounce-lib.pl: analyze the 'Original-recipient' entries of message/delivery-status MIME parts
src/etc/mhonarc-ressources.tt2: [proposed by E.Hood] now using $FROMADDRNAME$@$FROMADDRDOMAIN$ instead of $FROMADDR$. See
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=11759

This behavior would require locking of config files.
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [bugID 567] if 'web_recode_to' is set, decode incoming parameters from this charset to perl's
internal encoding (utf-8). This is required for CJK binary strings that can't be used in perl regexp.

***** (see the "Sympa Admin" page).
*****

***** CREATE TABLE admin_table (
***** list_admin varchar(50) NOT NULL,
***** user_admin varchar(100) NOT NULL,
***** role_admin enum('listmaster','owner','editor') NOT NULL,
***** date_admin datetime NOT NULL,
***** update_admin datetime,
***** reception_admin varchar(20),
***** comment_admin varchar(150),
***** subscribed_admin enum('0','1'),

4.2b.3 13 August 2004
New features :
***** We have both changed Sympa's template format and catalogue format
*****
***** Template file format is now TT2 (hhtp://www.tt2.org). Its format is similar
***** to the old template format. Sympa.pl should detect that you are upgrading
***** from an old version and will run the tpl2tt2.pl script to migrate your
***** existing .tpl files to .tt2 format.
*****
***** We now use PO format for Sympa internationalization. This is a much more
***** standard format which make it easier for translators to update catalogues.
***** Because we could not automatically extract translatable strings from templates
***** most of the translation job is to be done again and only 3 languages are supported
***** with this release (the one that have uptodate PO files)
***** If you are concerned about translating Sympa, please read this document :

4.0.a6 18 September 2003
New features :
src/Commands.pm, src/List.pm, src/sympa.pl: new variable available in authz scenarios :
[msg_encrypted] is set to 'smime' if message was S/MIME encrypted
src/: Conf.pm, List.pm, tools.pl: [C. Mock] :
-allow separate signing/encryption S/MIME keys for users, lists,
sympa; keys are extracted from the received signed emails, analyzed
for the key usage extensions, and saved either as before (when they
allow signing and encryption) or with a file extension
"@enc"/"@sign" for separate keys; cf extract_certs() in tools.pl
for saving them, parse_smime_cert() for getting all the info out
(this also encapsulates the issue of email addresses in the DN vs
SubjectAlternativeName), and find_smime_keys() to encapsulate the
decision which key to use for signing, encrypting and decrypting.
wwsympa has been altered accordingly to deliver either the
encryption certificate or the "both purposes certificate" from
"load cert".
- allow multiple "generations" of certificates for
lists + sympa, so that you can renew your certs before they expire
and run old and new certs alongside, so you don't need all your
users to switch at the very same moment; this is also encapsulated
in find_smime_keys().
Changes :
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [C. Mock] Change: patched mod_ssl to extract the SubjectAlternativeName
X509 email storage variant and deliver it in $ENV{SSL_CLIENT_S_EMAIL}; this is checked in wwsympa
in preference to $ENV{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_EMAIL}; need this for our certificates which contain the
email address _only_ in the SubjectAlternativeName.
Bug fixes :
wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi: [C. Mock] Fix: set content-type of list cert depending on user-agent,
so IE can automatically import the file too; also, send CRLF terminated certificates with the
certificate itself only (no comment lines), also for IE. Certificate installation from the web
interface works for netscape and IE now.
src/Commands.pm,src/sympa.pl: [C. Mock] Remove unusefull SMIME code, performed in Message.pm
4.0.a5 12 September 2003
New features :
Sympa can rely on CAS single sign-on system (Yale central Authentication Service)
for authenticating users. Check auth.conf section in documentation for more details.
Sympa first tries a transparent login, if it did not succeed, it then prompts the user
for his favourite CAS server.
***** auth.conf format has changed ; if you had a previous auth.conf file you
***** should change it according to the new format
***** To keep the existing authentication bahovior you should add the following entries at the
***** end of your existing auth.conf file :
***** user_table
***** regexp .*
Changes :
doc/: Reorganize documentation with authN and authZ chapters
doc/sympa.tex.tpl: Change: rename 'scenario' to 'authorization scenario'
4.0.a4 14 August 2003
New features :
Automatic bounce management based on 2 tasks :
* eval_bouncers sets a bouncing score for bouncers.
* process_bouncers will either notify or remove them The list config defines 2 bouncing
levels (rate, action and notification).
***** You should update your database structure based on the create_db.xxx scripts
***** unless you are using MySQL (Sympa tries to update the database automatically at startup)
New purge_orphan_bounces task that removes archived bounces files concerning old subscribers
Changes :
Clean code related to replicat LDAP hosts.

Changes :

3.3.6b.2 31 July 2002
New features :
###############################################################
New 'include2' user_data_source ; should replace 'include'.
Users cache is stored in the main database instead of using a
DB_File. Updates of the cache are performed by the task_manager
* Advantages
+ lower memory usage :
Sympa processes used to use lots of memory when managing
big (>200 000) 'include' types of lists. The list of
subscribers is now stored in the database.
+ updating the cache :
Cache update is now performed by the task manager. It used to
be performed by sympa.pl and wwsympa.fcgi.
+ bounces management :
Because included users now have an entry in subscriber_table,
their bounces are managed like any other subscribed users
+ user reception options :
Included users can set their reception mode
* Subscriber_table changes
The subscriber_table Db table has 3 new fields :
* included_subscriber
This boolean value tells if the user has been included into
the list
* subscribed_subscriber
This boolean value tells if the user has subscribed to the
list
* include_sources_subscriber
Comma-separated list of include source IDs. It is not
exploited yet, but could be used to :
- set different TTL for each include data_sources
- show include sources in the REVIEW pages
- tell the user he/she has been included as part
of X,Y external datasources
* Task manager
New 'sync_include' list task :
Only one model (ttl) is available. TM checks if the list is
in 'include2' mode and runs the sync_include. The syn_include()
does an in-memory comparison of already cache users list and
included users list ; subscriber_table is then updated.
List::delete_user() and List::add_user() have been optimized
to make sync_include() faster.
A new task is created based on 'ttl' list parameter.
New 'purge_user-table' global task :
Each time a user unsubscribes the user_table had to be cleaned ;
this was time-consuming. This is now performed periodically
by the 'purge_user-table' task.
* Changes of commands behavior
Reception options
Included users can now set their reception mode
Subscription
Included users can moreover subscribe to the list (if allowed by scenario).
It allows them to remain in the list though they might no more be included.
Review (web only)
Foreach user, tell if he/she is included or subscribed
* Locking while updating cache
An exclusive lock is performed by sync_include() to prevent other processes
from accessing an uncomplete list of users. A shared lock is set in
List::get_first_user(), then released for the last List::get_next_user().
File locking is performed on ~sympa/expl/<list>/include.lock file
* Stats file
A new value has been added to lists 'stats' file : last_sync
I is the date (epoch format) of the last include cache update.
* List configuration edition
When the list configuration has been changed (from the web), then :
* if we changed a datasource-related parameter
=> the current 'sync_include' task is removed from the task
spool, to make cache update happen as soon as possible.
* if user_data_source changed from 'database' to 'include2'
=> existing subscribers have their 'subscribed_subscriber' DB
field set to '1'
* if user_data_source changed from 'include2' to 'database'
=> existing included users are purged from subscriber_table
* TODO
+ sending messages when users are included/decluded (should be an option)
+ migrating from 'include' to 'include2'
+ showing user datasources within REVIEW page
+ adding "sort by datasource" in REVIEW page
#####################################################################
Changes :
database structure has been extended for 'include2' user_data_source
***** New database fields added to subscriber_table
***** With MySQL :
***** ALTER TABLE subscriber_table ADD subscribed_subscriber enum ('0','1');
***** ALTER TABLE subscriber_table ADD included_subscriber enum ('0','1');
***** ALTER TABLE subscriber_table ADD include_sources_subscriber varchar(50);
***** If you are using another RDBMS, please check create_db.xxx scripts

existing ones. It allows faster excution of newly created tasks

***** allowed for population in edit_list.conf
***** Now use configure.in and Makefile.am (uses automake/autoconf)
***** Makefile is generated as follows :
***** automake -a ; aclocal ; automake ; ./configure

and scenarii.
All configuration parameters can be define for each robot except
Sympa installation parameters such as binary and spool location,
SMTP engine, antivirus plugging etc.
A robot is named by its domain, and defined by a directory
~sympa/etc/somedomain.org. This directory must contain
a robot.conf file that defines the virtual robot parameters
http_host title default_home lang listmaster max_size and colors.
~sympa/etc/dom.org/ contains lists of dom.org robot
~sympa/etc/dom.org/wws_templates/, ~sympa/etc/dom.org/templates/,
~sympa/etc/dom.org/scenari/ directories are applied when loading
templates or scenarii before searching into ~sympa/etc and
~sympa/bin/etc.
Check sample dir.
[Florent Guilleux]: Task manager
wwsympa/wws_templates/fr/edit_list_request.fr.tpl
Various task automatic processing. List master may use predefined
task models to automate recurrent processings such as regurlaly

the original message's body, bypassing MIME::Parser

to initialize lang_user field in database.
Privileges of the user (user/editor/owner/listmaster)have been added
to the menu.
Scenari for send parameter are available ! Check send.* in the
scenari directory. The send scenari is paticular because you can
check headers in rules : exemple.
match ([header->Content-Type],/multipart/) smtp -> editorkey
(semantic is multipart messages must be approved by editor)
The list parameter "visibility" is performed by scenari. The goal
is to provide defferent lists of lists depending of the context
(mainly depending on the sender). The following exemple show how
to use visibility scenario in order to provide intranet lists
visibility
match ([sender],/cru\.fr/) smtp -> do_it
New "profile" parameter in owner paragraph.
New spool for storing bounces, defined by "queuebounce" parameter.

Changes :
Multiple DEL from REVIEW page.
WWSympa looks for a site template (eg: ~sympa/expl/welcome.tpl) when
editing a service message. Template can include the "info" file of
the list ([PARSE info_file]). If a such a template exists, owners can't
edit message, only listmaster can.
Regexp in "search" are made simple : only "*" wild character
is supported.
main.tpl has been split, each action has .tpl file
this should make internationalization easier
Subroutines' parameters are now logged
User email and list added to the log
Search matches sub-strings
<PRE> added to info if not HTML
Notification of sender when message is forwarded to editor
Contacting owners if no editor is defined
From field (SYsteme de MultiPostage Automatique) is in NLS

Moderation key has been added to the log at allocation,
distribution or rejection.
Default value for send is set to 'private'
Now scenario optionaly include title.<lang> <string> in order to
print the scenario title in wwsympa (edit_list_request and info)
This is compatible with old scenari style
Bug Fixes :

[reported by Carsten Clasohm <clasohm AT rivalnet.com>]
Table names "user" and "subscriber" respectively become
"user_table" and "subscriber_table". This is needed because
of a conflict with "USER" keyword in PostgreSQL v 6.4

****** You need to change your database structure:
****** with MySQL :
****** ALTER TABLE user RENAME user_table;
****** ALTER TABLE subscriber RENAME subscriber_table;
******
****** with PostgreSQL :
****** ALTER TABLE user RENAME TO user_table;
****** ALTER TABLE subscriber RENAME TO subscriber_table;

On journalise la durée de l'envoi des messages ainsi que le nombre de
sessions SMTP.
Gestion des entêtes MIME (à définir à la fin de fr.msg).
0.009 10 décembre 1997
Correction d'une erreur dans les expressions régulières de gestion des
commandes : cela pouvait faire échouer l'usage de l'authentifieur dans
certains cas très rares.
Ajout de l'entête X-Loop et traitement visant à prevenir les boucles.
Erreur dans le total du nombre d'abonnés : l'ajout d'un utilisateur
n'était pas comptabilisé.
Reply List ne fonctionnait pas dans certains cas en raison d'une faute
de programmation.
0.008 15 novembre 1997
Corrigé quelques bugs et rajout de l'option maxsmtp dans sympa.conf.

La modération était en avance sur son temps : on revient à la (mauvaise)
vieille méthode (AtArticle to modérate).
Corrections mineures dans les autres modules.
Le fichier fr.msg a été corrigé et étendu.
0.006 15 septembre 1997
Beaucoup de changements dans de nombreux modules, notamment un
début d'écriture en objet pour certains d'entre eux. Quelques
corrections de défauts. A se demander si on ne devrait pas
appeler cela une béta de la version 2 de Sympa.

version.pl -> Version.pm log.pl -> Log.pm
La commande `get' fonctionne enfin.
Certaines fonctions passent du module `tools' vers `list' où elles
sont mieux à leur place.
Bug dans list.pl lorsque le fichier des abonnés n'existe pas il faut
refuser de charger la liste [signalé par Olivier Lacroix].
La substitution remplace également le chemin vers le fichier de
configuration définit dans le Makefile. Cela fonctionnait déjà
pour le programme queue, mais par pour sympa.pl [O. Lacroix].
0.004 17 juin 1997
La documentation évolue un peu.
La commande reconfirm envoie un message aux abonnés qui n'ont pas
confirmé leur abonnement à la liste depuis le délais indiqué en
paramètre. Le troisième argument est le nombre de semaines de
grâce (donné à titre indicatif). Ex : reconfirm tulp-fr 2 4.
La commande purge permet de virer les abonnés qui n'ont pas
renouvellé leur abonnement depuis le nombre de mois indiqué
en argument. Ex : purge tulp-fr 2.
L'authentification est maintenant supportée pour les commandes
sub et sig : il faut mettre le drapeau `auth' dans le champ
subscription du fichier de configuration (et non pas md5).
Le paquettage MD5 (dans CPAN) n'est plus facultatif : vous devez
l'installer pour utiliser Sympa.
Correction de quelques bugs dans la gestion des entêtes
[A. Thivillon].
0.003 13 juin 1997
*** ATTENTION - IMPORTANT ***
Pour utiliser Sympa vous devez installer le paquettage DB de
Berkeley dans une version supportée par Perl (use DB_File),
et il vous faut aussi installer MailTools (dans CPAN).
Correction de 2 petits bugs de programmation [Alain Thivillon].
Changement de la chaine de reconnaisance what(1) (bug signale
par O. Robert).
Utilisation de my a la place de local, usage de my devant $id (pour
use strict) [O. Robert].
La fonction "index" a été rajoutée et fonctionne.
Le tri des abonnés se fait maintenant par un arbre binaire en
utilisant le module DB_File. C'est beaucoup plus rapide pour
les grandes listes.
Le module rfc822.pl n'est plus nécessaire, il a été supprimé de
la distribution. Le programme utilise maintenant Mail::Address
(disponible dans CPAN).
0.002 19 mai 1997
Ajout du nombre d'abonnés à la liste en dernière ligne de la
commande Review.
0.001 1er avril 1997
Première version de tests diffusée à un large public.
