<h1>Versions of exim</h1>
- <p>The latest release is <b>3.14</b>. This is an incremental
- upgrade with some new features, however old 3.0x configuration
- files should be fully compatible. At present it appears there may
- be some problems with this release so production environments
- might be best left on <b>3.13</b></p>
+ <p>The latest release is <b>4.71</b>. This is a feature and bug fix release in the
+ <b>4.xx</b> series of releases - see the <a
+ href="mirrors.html">download</a> pages. Documentation was updated for
+ 4.71.</p>
- <p>The previous release is <b>3.14</b>. This is an incremental
- upgrade with some new features, however old 3.0x configuration
- files should be fully compatible. Upgrading from previous
- releases is worth doing, particularly since a denial-of-service
- hole has been fixed over 3.0x and lower versions. This is a well
- trusted version in wide use in production environments.</p>
+ <p> All versions of exim previous to version <b>4.x</b> are now
+ obsolete and everyone is <b>very strongly</b> recommended to
+ upgrade to a current release.</p>
- <p>The previous release is <b>3.03</b>. This was a major upgrade
- over the 2.1x series, and some features of the configuration file
- are not backward compatible - although there is a conversion
- utility. Earlier version <b>3.0x</b> users should upgrade,
- although the bug fixes are relatively minor.</p>
-
- <p>The last 2.x release version was <b>2.12</b>. This is a bugfix
- release over earlier 2.1x releases. Upgrade from 2.0x releases is
- not imperative.</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.</p>
+ <p>The last 3.x release was <b>3.36</b>. It is obsolete and should not be used.</p>
<p>There may be beta versions with available from the ftp sites in
the Testing directory. Many people are using these without
