8 <h1>Versions of exim</h1>
10 <p>The latest release is <b>3.16</b>. This is an incremental
11 upgrade with a small number of new features and some bug fixes,
12 however old 3.0x configuration files should be fully compatible.
13 New features are documented in the CHANGES and NewStuff files
14 Upgrading from previous releases is worth doing, particularly
15 since a denial-of-service hole has been fixed over 3.0x and lower
18 <p>There were a number of early beta versions of exim with version
19 numbers less than <b>1.0</b>. These should now be avoided.
20 Versions earlier than <b>2.0x</b> should also be upgraded.
21 Version 3.0x releases are also best upgraded.</p>
23 <p>There may be beta versions with available from the ftp sites in
24 the Testing directory. Many people are using these without
25 problems, but they are not recommended unless you are willing to
26 work with beta software.</p>
