<h1>Versions of exim</h1>
- <p>The latest release is <b>3.16</b>. This is an incremental
- upgrade with a small number of new features and some bug fixes,
- however old 3.0x configuration files should be fully compatible.
- New features are documented in the CHANGES and NewStuff files
- Upgrading from previous releases is worth doing, particularly
- since a denial-of-service hole has been fixed over 3.0x and lower
- versions.</p>
-
- <p>There were a number of early beta versions of exim with version
- numbers less than <b>1.0</b>. These should now be avoided.
- Versions earlier than <b>2.0x</b> should also be upgraded.
- Version 3.0x releases are also best upgraded.</p>
+ <p>At present those with stable working systems are recommended to
+ stay with version 4.63 as there have been some issues with later
+ releases.</p>
+
+ <p>The latest release is <b>4.65</b>. This is a bug fix and
+ features release in the <b>4.xx</b> series of releases - see the
+ <a href="mirrors.html">download</a> pages. Documentation was
+ updated for 4.62 (this is unusual but was done due to problems
+ with the 4.60/4.61 documentation). Versions 4.43 and prior had some
+ security related bugs and should either be <a
+ href="http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-announce/2005/msg00000.html">patched</a>
+ or updated to 4.44 or later</p>
+
+ <p>New features are documented in the <a
+ href="ftp/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-4.65"><tt>doc/ChangeLog</tt></a> and <a
+ href="ftp/ChangeLogs/NewStuff-4.65"><tt>doc/NewStuff</tt></a> files within
+ the distribution. These files are also available separately from
+ the main package files on the main ftp site and its mirrors in the
+ <a href="ftp/ChangeLogs/"><tt>ChangeLogs</tt></a> directory - see
+ the <a href="mirrors.html">download</a> pages.</p>
+
+ <p> All versions of exim previous to version <b>4.x</b> are now
+ considered obsolete and everyone is <b>strongly</b> recommended to
+ upgrade to a current release.</p>
+
+ <p>The last 3.x release was <b>3.36</b>.</p>
<p>There may be beta versions with available from the ftp sites in
the Testing directory. Many people are using these without
