Once the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list. Version 4.78 +------------ - 1. New expansion variable $tls_bits. + 1. New authenticator driver, "gsasl". Server-only (at present). + This is a SASL interface, licensed under GPL, which can be found at + http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/. + This system does not provide sources of data for authentication, so + careful use needs to be made of the conditions in Exim. Note that + this can not yet be used as a drop-in replacement for Cyrus SASL, as + Exim is currently unable to construct strings with embedded NULs for + use as keys in lookups against sasldb2. + + 2. New authenticator driver, "heimdal_gssapi". Server-only. + A replacement for using cyrus_sasl with Heimdal, now that $KRB5_KTNAME + is no longer honoured for setuid programs by Heimdal. Use the + "server_keytab" option to point to the keytab. + + 3. The "pkg-config" system can now be used when building Exim to reference + cflags and library information for lookups and authenticators, rather + than having to update "CFLAGS", "AUTH_LIBS", "LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and + "LOOKUP_LIBS" directly. Similarly for handling the TLS library support + without adjusting "TLS_INCLUDE" and "TLS_LIBS". + + 4. New expansion variable $tls_bits. Version 4.77
