10 <p>The latest release is <b>3.22</b>. This is the latest bug fix
11 release in the 3.2x series. They are an incremental upgrade over
12 the 3.1x series with a some significant new features, including
13 better authentication support, SMTP over TLS and some bug fixes,
14 however old 3.0x configuration files should be fully compatible.
15 New features are documented in the CHANGES and NewStuff files.</p>
17 <p>The previous 3.1x release is <b>3.16</b>. This is an
18 incremental upgrade with a small number of new features and some
19 bug fixes, however old 3.0x configuration files should be fully
20 compatible. New features are documented in the CHANGES and
21 NewStuff files Upgrading from previous releases is worth doing,
22 particularly since a denial-of-service hole has been fixed over
23 3.0x and lower versions.</p>
25 <p>There were a number of early beta versions of exim with version
26 numbers less than <b>1.0</b>. These should now be avoided.
27 Versions earlier than <b>2.0x</b> should also be upgraded.
28 Version 3.0x releases are also best upgraded.</p>
30 <p>There may be beta versions with available from the ftp sites in
31 the Testing directory. Many people are using these without
32 problems, but they are not recommended unless you are willing to
33 work with beta software.</p>
