+JH/07 OpenSSL Fix auto-reload of changed server OCSP proof. Previously, if
the file with the proof had an unchanged name, the new proof(s) were
loaded on top of the old ones (and nover used; the old ones were stapled).
These variables were introduced in Exim 4.87.
Debug help from Graeme Fowler.
+JH/09 Fix ${filter } for conditions that modify $value. Previously the
+ modified version would be used in construction the result, and a memory
+ error would occur.
+
+JH/10 GnuTLS: fix for (IOT?) clients offering no TLS extensions at all.
+ Find and fix by Jasen Betts.
+
+JH/11 OpenSSL: fix for ancient clients needing TLS support for versions earlier
+ than TLSv1,2, Previously, more-recent versions of OpenSSL were permitting
+ the systemwide configuration to override the Exim config.
+
+HS/01 Bug 2728: Introduce EDITME option "DMARC_API" to work around incompatible
+ API changes in libopendmarc.
+
+JH/12 Bug 2930: Fix daemon startup. When started from any process apart from
+ pid 1, in the normal "background daemon" mode, having to drop process-
+ group leadership also lost track of needing to create listener sockets.
+
+JH/13 Bug 2929: Fix using $recipients after ${run...}. A change made for 4.96
+ resulted in the variable appearing empty. Find and fix by Ruben Jenster.
+
+JH/14 Bug 2933: Fix regex substring match variables for null matches. Since 4.96
+ a capture group which obtained no text (eg. "(abc)*" matching zero
+ occurrences) could cause a segfault if the corresponding $<n> was
+ expanded.
+
+JH/15 Fix argument parsing for ${run } expansion. Previously, when an argument
+ included a close-brace character (eg. it itself used an expansion) an
+ error occurred.
+
+JH/16 Move running the smtp connect ACL to before, for TLS-on-connect ports,
+ starting TLS. Previously it was after, meaning that attackers on such
+ ports had to be screened using the host_reject_connection main config
+ option. The new sequence aligns better with the STARTTLS behaviour, and
+ permits defences against crypto-processing load attacks, even though it
+ is strictly an incompatible change.
+ Also, avoid sending any SMTP fail response for either the connect ACL
+ or host_reject_connection, for TLS-on-connect ports.
+
+JH/17 Permit the ACL "encrypted" condition to be used in a HELO/EHLO ACL,
+ Previously this was not permitted, but it makes reasonable sense.
+ While there, restore a restriction on using it from a connect ACL; given
+ the change JH/16 it could only return false (and before 4.91 was not
+ permitted).
+
+JH/18 Fix a fencepost error in logging. Previously (since 4.92) when a log line
+ was exactly sized compared to the log buffer, a crash occurred with the
+ misleading message "bad memory reference; pool not found".
+ Found and traced by Jasen Betts.
+
+JH/19 Bug 2911: Fix a recursion in DNS lookups. Previously, if the main option
+ dns_again_means_nonexist included an element causing a DNS lookup which
+ iteslf returned DNS_AGAIN, unbounded recursion occurred. Possible results
+ included (though probably not limited to) a process crash from stack
+ memory limit, or from excessive open files. Replace this with a paniclog
+ whine (as this is likely a configuration error), and returning
+ DNS_NOMATCH.
+
+JH/20 Bug 2954: (OpenSSL) Fix setting of explicit EC curve/group. Previously
+ this always failed, probably leading to the usual downgrade to in-clear
+ connections.
+
+JH/21 Fix TLSA lookups. Previously dns_again_means_nonexist would affect
+ SERVFAIL results, which breaks the downgrade resistance of DANE. Change
+ to not checking that list for these lookups.
+
+JH/22 Bug 2434: Add connection-elapsed "D=" element to more connection
+ closure log lines.
+
+JH/23 Fix crash in string expansions. Previously, if an empty variable was
+ immediately followed by an expansion operator, a null-indirection read
+ was done, killing the process.
+
+JH/24 Bug 2997: When built with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO, bounce messages can
+ include an SMTP response string which is longer than that supported
+ by the delivering transport. Alleviate by wrapping such lines before
+ column 80.
+
+JH/25 Bug 2827: Restrict size of References: header in bounce messages to 998
+ chars (RFC limit). Previously a limit of 12 items was made, which with
+ a not-impossible References: in the message being bounced could still
+ be over-large and get stopped in the transport.
+
+JH/26 For a ${readsocket } in TLS mode, send a TLS Close Alert before the TCP
+ close. Previously a bare socket close was done.
+
+JH/27 Fix ${srs_encode ..}. Previously it would give a bad result for one day
+ every 1024 days.
+
+JH/28 Bug 2996: Fix a crash in the smtp transport. When finding that the
+ message being considered for delivery was already being handled by
+ another process, and having an SMTP connection already open, the function
+ to close it tried to use an uninitialized variable. This would afftect
+ high-volume sites more, especially when running mailing-list-style loads.
+ Pollution of logs was the major effect, as the other process delivered
+ the message. Found and partly investigated by Graeme Fowler.
+
+JH/29 Change format of the internal ID used for message identification. The old
+ version only supported 31 bits for a PID element; the new 64 (on systems
+ which can use Base-62 encoding, which is all currently supported ones
+ but not Darwin (MacOS) or Cygwin, which have case-insensitive filesystems
+ and must use Base-36). The new ID is 23 characters rather than 16, and is
+ visible in various places - notably logs, message headers, and spool file
+ names. Various of the ancillary utilities also have to know the format.
+ As well as the expanded PID portion, the sub-second part of the time
+ recorded in the ID is expanded to support finer precision. Theoretically
+ this permits a receive rate from a single comms channel of better than the
+ previous 2000/sec.
+ The major timestamp part of the ID is not changed; at 6 characters it is
+ usable until about year 3700.
+ Updating from previously releases is fully supported: old-format spool
+ files are still usable, and the utilities support both formats. New
+ message will use the new format. The one hints-DB file type which uses
+ message-IDs (the transport wait- DB) will be discarded if an old-format ID
+ is seen; new ones will be built with only new-format IDs.
+ Optionally, a utility can be used to convert spool files from old to new,
+ but this is only an efficiency measure not a requirement for operation
+ Downgrading from new to old requires running a provided utility, having
+ first stopped all operations. This will convert any spool files from new
+ back to old (losing time-precision and PID information) and remove any
+ wait- hints databases.
+
+JH/30 Bug 3006: Fix handling of JSON strings having embedded commas. Previously
+ we treated them as item separators when parsing for a list item, but they
+ need to be protected by the doublequotes. While there, add handling for
+ backslashes.
+
+JH/31 Bug 2998: Fix ${utf8clean:...} to disallow UTF-16 surrogate codepoints.
+ Found and fixed by Jasen Betts. No testcase for this as my usual text
+ editor insists on emitting only valid UTF-8.
+
+JH/32 Fix "tls_dhparam = none" under GnuTLS. At least with 3.7.9 this gave
+ a null-indirection SIGSEGV for the receive process.
+
+JH/33 Fix free for live variable $value created by a ${run ...} expansion during
+ -bh use. Internal checking would spot this and take a panic.
+
+JH/34 Bug 3013: Fix use of $recipients within arguments for ${run...}.
+ In 4.96 this would expand to empty.
+
+JH/35 Bug 3014: GnuTLS: fix expiry date for an auto-generated server
+ certificate. Find and fix by Andreas Metzler.
+
+JH/36 Add ARC info to DMARC hostory records.
+
+JH/37 Bug 3016: Avoid sending DSN when message was accepted under fakereject
+ or fakedefer. Previously the sender could discover that the message
+ had in fact been accepted.
+
+JH/38 Taint-track intermediate values from the peer in multi-stage authentation
+ sequences. Previously the input was not noted as being tainted; notably
+ this resulted in behaviour of LOGIN vs. PLAIN being inconsistent under
+ bad coding of authenticators.
+
+JH/39 Bug 3023: Fix crash induced by some combinations of zero-length strings
+ and ${tr...}. Found and diagnosed by Heiko Schlichting.
