The FCGI services for WWSympa and SOAP are now each using a systemd socket
and a system service which utilize multiwatch to run multiple FCGI
instances.
The number of instances can be configured in /etc/default/sympa with the
variables WWS_FCGI_CHILDREN (defaults to 5) and SOAP_FCGI_CHILDREN
(defaults to 2).
The logrotate settings have been adjusted (minimum size 1M,
maximum size 10M, 14 rotations).

For existing installations the "cookie" parameter is now set in the configuration literally
instead of reading it from the file /etc/sympa/cookie. You can safely remove the file when
the installation completed successfully.
This was necessary as backticks in the configuration file are causing an error now
in order to fix a potential security hole. Please see bug #980451 for more information.

Personalization (also known as "merge feature") is now subject to the
following restrictions:
- Allowed only for messages posted from the web interface
- Applied only to the header and the footer of the message
The restrictions can be configured with the new personalization list
parameter. Listmasters are advised to review the current usage of
template variables and adjust the configuration accordingly.

The setuid FCGI wrappers have been removed. There are no longer
needed with recent webservers and they carry a potential security risk.
For the recommended webserver configuration please check the official
documentation at https://sympa-community.github.io/manual/install/configure-http-server.html.

- Starting from Sympa 6.2.28:
- access_web_archive.* scenarios are renamed to archive_web_access.*
If you have customized any of these scenarios, you have to rename
them under the config directory.
- it is possible to hash passwords using bcrypt, see the documentation
for more information:
https://sympa-community.github.io/manual/customize/builtin-auth.html
(section "Upgrading password storage on earlier version")
- to be more FHS compliant, autogenerated CSS and subscriber pictures
are configurable and located (respectively) in /var/lib/sympa/css and
/var/lib/sympa/pictures instead of /var/lib/sympa/static_content/css
and /var/lib/sympa/static_content/pictures
Therefore new web paths /css-sympa and /pictures-sympa (like
/static-sympa) might needs to be added to your webserver configuration
if you use a custom setup.

directory
- Formalism for storing messages sent from the web interface has changed
