+Since 4.95
+----------
+
+JH/01 Move the wait-for-next-tick (needed for unique messmage IDs) from
+ after reception to before a subsequence reception. This should
+ mean slightly faster delivery, and also confirmation of reception
+ to senders.
+
+JH/02 Move from using the pcre library to pcre2. The former is no longer
+ being developed or supported (by the original developer).
+
+JH/03 Constification work in the filters module required a major version
+ bump for the local-scan API. Specifically, the "headers_charset"
+ global which is visible via the API is now const and may therefore
+ not be modified by local-scan code.

Exim version 4.95
-----------------
JH/07 Bug 2597: Fix a resource leak. Using a lookup in obtaining a value for
smtp_accept_max_per_host allocated resources which were not released
when the limit was exceeded. This eventually crashed the daemon. Fix

JH/08 Bug 2598: Fix verify ACL condition. The options for the condition are

suspended/resumed. The Linux CLOCK_MONOTONIC does not account for time

Change to using the same clock source for the start-of-message and the

RFC says it is optional some validators care. The missing char was not

rewrite with the "h" flag, by using the "-F" command-line option, or

JH/30 Bug 2677: fix matching of long addresses. Since 4.93 a limit of 256 was
applied. This resulted, if any header-line rewrite rules were configured,

JH/31 The ESMTP option name advertised for the SUPPORT_EARLY_PIPE build option
is changed from X_PIPE_CONNECT to PIPE_CONNECT. This is in line with
RFC 6648 which deprecates X- options in protocols as a general practice.
Changeover between the implementations is handled by the mechanisms

JH/32 Bug 2599: fix delay of delivery to a local address where there is also

information. Previously, the credentials would be included if given

JH/39 Bug 2691: fix $local_part_data. When the matching list element
referred to a file, bad data was returned. This likely also affected

messages can show the proxy information.

Fixes CVE-2020-BDATA reported by Qualys.
+HS/03 Die on "/../" in msglog file names
+
+QS/01 Creation of (database) files in $spool_dir: only uid=0 or the uid of
+ the Exim runtime user are allowed to create files.
+
+QS/02 PID file creation/deletion: only possible if uid=0 or uid is the Exim
+ runtime user.

+QS/03 When reading the output from interpreted forward files we do not

+ disabled.
+
+JH/54 DMARC: recent versions of the OpenDMARC library appear to have broken
+ the API; compilation noo longer completes with DMARC support included.
+ This affects 1.4.1-1 on Fedora 33 (1.3.2-3 is functional); and has
+ been reported on other platforms.
+
+JH/55 TLS: as server, reject connections with ALPN indicating non-smtp use.
+
+JH/56 Make the majority of info read from config files readonly, for defence-in-
+ depth against exploits. Suggestion by Qualys.
+ Not supported on Solaris 10.
+
+JH/57 Fix control=fakreject for a custom message containing tainted data.
+ Previously this resulted in a log complaint, due to a re-expansion present
+ since fakereject was originally introduced.
+
+JH/58 GnuTLS: Fix certextract expansion. If a second modifier after a tag
+ modifier was given, a loop resulted.
+
+JH/59 DKIM: Fix small-message verification under TLS with chunking. If a
+ pipelined SMTP command followed the BDAT LAST then it would be
+ incorrectly treated as part of the message body, causing a verification
+ fail.
+
+JH/60 Bug 2805: Fix logging of domain-literals in Message_ID: headers. They
+ require looser validation rules than those for 821-level addresses,
+ which only permit IP addresses.
