Notes
ListManager
7.5 and above no longer support the Perl-based web interface that was shipped with previous versions of
ListManager. This also includes LCP, which may have been used to create custom scripts. If you have been
using the old interface extensively or use custom scripting to run certain portions of ListManager prior
to ListManager 7.5 (including list member signup forms), please contact support prior to upgrading.
New
tables created by ListManager in MSSQL will be owned by DBO. In versions before 8.1, the ListManager
tables were owned by the user.
