Versions of exim

-

The latest release is 4.12. This is a bugfix release - over 4.10 and 4.11 and a recommended bug fix update - over earlier 4.0x 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).

The latest release is 4.20. This is a minor upgrade on + the 4.1x series of releases, however the documentation has + been updated to match - see the download pages.

-

The latest 3.x release is 3.36. 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.
