-Version 4.95
+Version 4.97
------------
- 1. The fast-ramp two phase queue run support, previously experimental, is
- now supported by default.
+ 1. The expansion-test faciility (exim -be) can set variables.
- 2. The native SRS support, previously experimental, is now supported. It is
- not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile.
+ 2. An event on a failing SMTP AUTH, for both client and server operations.
- 3. TLS resumption support, previously experimental, is now supported and
- included in default builds.
+ 3. Variable $sender_helo_verified with the result of an ACL "verify = helo".
- 4. Single-key LMDB lookups, previously experimental, are now supported.
- The support is not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile.
+ 4. Predefined macros for expansion items, operators, conditions and variables.
- 5. Option "message_linelength_limit" on the smtp transport to enforce (by
- default) the RFC 998 character limit.
+ 5. The smtp transport option "max_rcpt" is now expanded before use.
- 6. An option to ignore the cache on a lookup.
+ 6. The tls_eccurve option for OpenSSL now takes a list of group names.
- 7. Quota checking during reception (i.e. at SMTP time) for appendfile-
- transport-managed quotas.
+ 7. Queue runners for several queues can now be started from one daemon.
- 8. Sqlite lookups accept a "file=<path>" option to specify a per-operation
- db file, replacing the previous prefix to the SQL string (which had
- issues when the SQL used tainted values).
+ 8. New utility exim_msgdate converts message-ids to human readable format.
- 9. Lsearch lookups accept a "ret=full" option, to return both the portion
- of the line matching the key, and the remainder.
+ 9. An expansion operator for wrapping long header lines.
-10. A command-line option to have a daemon not create a notifier socket.
+ 10. A commandline option to print just the message IDs of the queue
-11. Faster TLS startup. When various configuration options contain no
- expandable elements, the information can be preloaded and cached rather
- than the provious behaviour of always loading at startup time for every
- connection. This helps particularly for the CA bundle.
+ 11. An option for the ${readsocket } expansion to set an SNI for TLS.
-12. Proxy Protocol Timeout is configurable via "proxy_protocol_timeout"
- main config option.
+ 12. The ACL remove_header modifier can take a pattern.
-13. Option "smtp_accept_msx_per_connection" is now expanded.
+ 13. Variable $recipients_list, a properly-quoted exim list.
-14. Log selector "queue_size_exclusive", enabled by default, to exclude the
- time taken for reception from QT log elements.
+ 14. A log_selector for an incoming connection ID.
-15. Main option "smtp_backlog_monitor", to set a level abve which listen
- socket backlogs are logged.
+Version 4.96
+------------
-16. Main option "hosts_require_helo", requiring HELO or EHLO before MAIL.
+ 1. A new ACL condition: seen. Records/tests a timestamp against a key.
+
+ 2. A variant of the "mask" expansion operator to give normalised IPv6.
+
+ 3. UTC output option for exim_dumpdb, exim_fixdb.
+
+ 4. An event for failing TLS connects to the daemon.
+
+ 5. The ACL "debug" control gains options "stop", "pretrigger" and "trigger".
+
+ 6. Query-style lookups are now checked for quoting, if the query string is
+ built using untrusted data ("tainted"). For now lack of quoting is merely
+ logged; a future release will upgrade this to an error.
+
+ 7. The expansion conditions match_<list-type> and inlist now set $value for
+ the expansion of the "true" result of the ${if}. With a static list, this
+ can be used for de-tainting.
+
+ 8. Recipient verify callouts now set $domain_data & $local_part_data, with
+ de-tainted values.
