<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 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>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>The latest release is <b>4.12</b>. This is a bugfix release
+ over <b>4.10</b> and <b>4.11</b> and a recommended bug fix update
+ over earlier <b>4.0x</b> versions. The 4.x series is a major
+ upgrade over the 3.x versions which will require configuration
+ files to be rewritten (there are tools to help with this).</p>
+
+ <p>The latest 3.x release is <b>3.36</b>. This is the latest bug fix
+ release in the 3.3x series. They are an incremental upgrade over
+ the 3.2x series with a few new features. There is a security
+ issue (rare but exploitable) with versions previous to 3.34
+ so upgrading is <b>strongly</b> recommended.
+ Old 3.0x configuration files should be fully compatible.
+ New features are documented in the CHANGES and NewStuff files.</p>
+
+ <p>The previous 3.2x release is <b>3.22</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.</p>
+ Versions earlier than <b>2.0x</b> should also be upgraded.
+ Version 3.0x and 3.1x releases are also best upgraded.</p>
<p>There may be beta versions with available from the ftp sites in
the Testing directory. Many people are using these without
