Versions of exim

The latest release is 3.14. 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 3.13

- -

The previous release is 3.14. 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.

The previous release is 3.03. 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 3.0x users should upgrade, - although the bug fixes are relatively minor.

- -

The last 2.x release version was 2.12. This is a bugfix - release over earlier 2.1x releases. Upgrade from 2.0x releases is - not imperative.
