The latest downloadable version of mailman is 2.1.1, try here:

Usually the sourceforge is the best place to get the latest MM.
See: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103
You will also find patches for the latest stable release on sourceforge and a CVS repository for the current MM development in progress.
We are a tiny bit cautious about upgrading from 2.0.13 to 2.1.1 on a live system.
Are there any problems, or advice on things to be careful of?

I'm probably not the ideal person to ask about this. I have the benefit of a backup server which I use to rehearse MM upgrades and correct problems before doing the real thing on our dedicated primary MM server. I need to do that as I use/maintain a number of MM upgrade patches and need to produce upgraded versions of those when new MM releases come out.
I also use a Sendmail mailer (patch #644810) rather than maintaining a file of mail aliases. I guess one of the big changes from 2.0.13 to 2.1.1 is the revised mail aliases for each list and so I didn't have to deal with that.
My own experience with the 2.0.13 to 2.1.1 upgrade was that at a basic level it was trouble free. I just read the INSTALL and UPGRADE documents and got on with it.. I tend to take the view that it has to be done and it will not get any easier by waiting. MM 2.1.1 has some nice extra features which I wanted the benefit of them. That said I only ran the beta versions of 2.1 on my backup machine on test; I'm not that keen to risk beta software for production use.
I suggest a post to the mailman-users list asking about risk/experience on the upgrade to 2.1.1 will be more useful than any further comment from me.
Best of luck
