Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
62. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
+63. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
+ need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
+ deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
+ necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
+ when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
+
+64. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
+ This has been fixed.
+
+65. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
+ was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
+ consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
+ SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
+ the caching.)
+
+66. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
+
+67. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
+ address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
+ the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
+ work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
+
+68. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
+ with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
+
+69. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
+ negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
+ apparently mutter when there is no cast.
+
+70. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
+ user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
+ put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
+ message there.
+
