This document contains detailed information about incompatibilities that might
be encountered when upgrading from one release of Exim to another. The
that might affect a running system.
+Version 4.51
+------------
+
+1. The format in which GnuTLS parameters are cached (in the file gnutls-params
+in the spool directory) has been changed. The new format can also be generated
+externally, so it is now possible to update the values from outside Exim. This
+has been implemented in an upwards, BUT NOT downwards, compatible manner.
+Upgrading should be seamless: when Exim finds that it cannot understand an
+existing cache file, it generates new parameters and writes them to the cache
+in the new format. If, however, you downgrade from 4.51 to a previous release,
+you MUST delete the gnutls-params file in the spool directory, because the
+older Exim will not recognize the new format.
+
+2. When doing a callout as part of verifying an address, Exim was not paying
+attention to any local part prefix or suffix that was matched by the router
+that accepted the address. It now behaves in the same way as it does for
+delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless
+rcpt_include_affixes is set on the transport. If you have a configuration that
+uses prefixes or suffixes on addresses that could be used for callouts, and you
+want the affixes to be retained, you must make sure that rcpt_include_affixes
+is set on the transport.
+
+3. Bounce and delay warning messages no longer contain details of delivery
+errors, except for explicit messages (e.g. generated by :fail:) and SMTP
+responses from remote hosts.

files if the maximum number to keep is greater than 99. If you are already
keeping more than 99, there will be an incompatible change when you upgrade.
You will probably want to rename your old log files to the new form before
-running the new exicyclog. The following script, by Mick Swisher, can do this
-for you:
-
-# Begin conversion
-# Rename all the old files by adding additional leading zeros.
-count=99
-while [ $count -gt 0 ]; do
-if [ $count -lt 100 ]; then newt=0$count; oldt=$count; fi
-if [ $count -lt 10 ]; then newt=00$count; oldt=0$count; fi
-if [ -f $mainlog.$oldt ]; then
- $mv $mainlog.$oldt $mainlog.$newt
-elif [ -f $mainlog.$oldt.$suffix ]; then
- $mv $mainlog.$oldt.$suffix $mainlog.$newt.$suffix
-fi
-if [ -f $rejectlog.$oldt ]; then
- $mv $rejectlog.$oldt $rejectlog.$newt
-elif [ -f $rejectlog.$oldt.$suffix ]; then
- $mv $rejectlog.$oldt.$suffix $rejectlog.$newt.$suffix
-fi
-count=`expr $count - 1`
-done
