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.
