What's new?

* The biggest change is that support for Python 1.x has been dropped.
  You must now have Python 2.0 or higher installed, or TMDA will not
  work for you.  This should only be a problem for older versions of
  RedHat Linux which ship only Python 1.5.2.  RedHat 7.2 comes with
  python2 RPMs installed.  If you are running an earlier version of
  RedHat, you can get python2 RPMs from your powertools CD, or from
  <URL:http://www.python.org/2.2/rpms.html>.  TMDA's RPM spec file has
  been trained to use `python2' automatically.  This has been
  minimally tested, so please report any problems you encounter with
  an RPM installation.

* Additions to the filter file syntax which are documented at:
  <URL:http://software.libertine.org/tmda/config-filter.html>

  - A new extension to the `tag' action which allows addition of
  arbitrary headers to your outgoing messages based on destination.

  - from/to-ezmlm, and from-to/mailman.attribute: new sources used to
  match the subscribers of an ezmlm or Mailman mailing list.

  - from/to-autocdb: new source which automatically maintains a CDB
  file for the specified TMDA list file.  No more rebuilding your CDBs
  by hand, cron, or scripting!

* Performance improvements.

* Bugfixes.

Here are the additions to UPGRADE:

* Python version 2.0 or greater is now required.
