+This is the announcement of version 1.4.18 of Roundup, a Bug-Fix Release
+for a critical bug in roundups mail gateway.
+The bug will lead to files being unlinked from issues when mails without
+attachment are received for an existing issue. See the "Software
+Upgrade" guidelines in doc/announcement.txt (or the html version) for a
+script you can run to find out potentially affected issues and how to
+fix this. As usual some minor features and some bug fixes:
+Features:
+
+- Norwegian Bokmal translation by Christian Aastorp
+- Allow to specify additional cc and bcc emails (not roundup users) for
+ nosymessage used by the nosyreaction reactor. (Ralf)
+
+Fixed:
+
+- Fix file-unlink bug in mailgw (Ralfs oversight when refactoring the mail
+ gateway code) -- if a message is sent that contains no attachments,
+ all previous files of the issue are unlinked, thanks to Rafal
+ Bisingier for reporting and proposing a fix.
+ I've now added a regression test that catches this issue.
+
+If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow
+the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation.
+
+Roundup requires python 2.4 or later (but not 3+) for correct operation.
+
+To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run::
