Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.64
+-----------------
+
+TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
+ there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
+ header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
+ in the field name.
+
+PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
+ callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
+ is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
+ verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
+ the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
+ case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
+ rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
+ address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
+ Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
+ left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
+ RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).
+
+PH/02 Tidied a number of unused variable and signed/unsigned warnings that
+ gcc 4.1.1 threw up.
+
+PH/03 On Solaris, an unexpectedly close socket (dropped connection) can
+ manifest itself as EPIPE rather than ECONNECT. When tidying away a
+ session, the daemon ignores ECONNECT errors and logs others; it now
+ ignores EPIPE as well.
+
+
Exim version 4.63
-----------------
TF/01 Correct an error in the documentation for the redirect router. Exim
does (usually) call initgroups() when daemonizing.
-TF/02 Call initgroups() when dropping privilege in exim.c, so that Exim runs with
- consistent privilege compared to when running as a daemon.
+TF/02 Call initgroups() when dropping privilege in exim.c, so that Exim runs

TF/03 Note in the spec that $authenticated_id is not set for local
submissions from trusted users.
directory not expanded when it should be if an expanded home directory
was set for the address (which is overridden by the transport).
+PH/05 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch to fix Bugzilla #99: a problem with
+ libradius.
+
+PH/06 Added acl_not_smtp_start, based on Johannes Berg's patch, and set the
+ bit to forbid control=suppress_local_fixups in the acl_not_smtp ACL,
+ because it is too late at that time, and has no effect.
+
+PH/07 Changed ${quote_pgsql to quote ' as '' instead of \' because of a
+ security issue with \' (bugzilla #107). I could not use the
+ PQescapeStringConn() function, because it needs a PGconn value as one of
+ its arguments.
+
+PH/08 When testing addresses using -bt, indicate those final addresses that
+ are duplicates that would not cause an additional delivery. At least one
+ person was confused, thinking that -bt output corresponded to deliveries.
+ (Suppressing duplicates isn't a good idea as you lose the information
+ about possibly different redirections that led to the duplicates.)
+
+PH/09 Applied patch from Erik to use select() instead of poll() in spam.c on
+ systems where poll() doesn't work, in particular OS X.
+
+PH/10 Added more information to debugging output for retry time not reached.
+
+PH/11 Applied patch from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to apply a timeout to read
+ operations in malware.c.
+
+PH/12 Applied patch from Magnus Holmgren to include the "h" tag in Domain Keys
+ signatures.
+
+PH/13 If write_rejectlog was set false when logging was sent to syslog with
+ syslog_duplication set false, log lines that would normally be written
+ both the the main log and to the reject log were not written to syslog at
+ all.
+
+PH/14 In the default configuration, change the use of "message" in ACL warn
+ statements to "add_header".
+
+PH/15 Diagnose a filter syntax error for "seen", "unseen", or "noerror" if not
+ not followed by a command (e.g. "seen endif").
+
+PH/16 Recognize SMTP codes at the start of "message" in ACLs and after :fail:
+ and :defer: in a redirect router. Add forbid_smtp_code to suppress the
+ latter.
+
+PH/17 Added extra conditions to the default value of delay_warning_condition
+ so that it is now:
+
+ ${if or { \
+ { !eq{$h_list-id:$h_list-post:$h_list-subscribe:}{} } \
+ { match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk} } \
+ { match{$h_auto-submitted:}{(?i)auto-generated|auto-replied} } \
+ }{no}{yes}}
+
+ The Auto-Submitted: and various List- headers are standardised, whereas I
+ don't think Precedence: ever was.
+
+PH/18 Refactored debugging code in route_finduser() to show more information,
+ in particular, the error code if getpwnam() issues one.
+
+PH/19 Added PQsetClientEncoding(conn, "SQL_ASCII") to the pgsql code module.
+ This is apparently needed in addition to the PH/07 change above to avoid
+ any possible encoding problems.
+
+PH/20 Perl can change the locale. Exim was resetting it after a ${perl call,
+ but not after initializing Perl.
+
+PH/21 Added a call to PQsetNoticeProcessor() to catch pgsql "notices" and
+ output them only if debugging. By default they are written stderr,
+ apparently, which is not desirable.
+
+PH/22 Added Alain Williams' LDAP patch to support setting REFERRALS=off on
+ queries.
+
+JJ/01 exipick: added --reverse (and -R synonym), --random, --size, --sort and
+ --not options
+
+JJ/02 exipick: rewrote --help documentation to hopefully make more clear.
+
+PH/23 Made -oMaa and -oMt work with -bh and -bs to pretend the connection is
+ authenticated or an ident call has been made. Suppress the default
+ values for $authenticated_id and $authenticated_sender (but permit -oMai
+ and -oMas) when testing with -bh.
+
+PH/24 Re-jigged the order of the tests in the default configuration so that the
+ tests for valid domains and recipients precede the DNS black list and CSA
+ tests, on the grounds that those ones are more expensive.
+
+PH/25 Exim was not testing for a space following SMTP commands such as EHLO
+ that require one. Thus, EHLORHUBARB was interpreted as a valid command.
+ This bug exists in every version of Exim that I still have, right back to
+ 0.12.
+
+PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively.
+ However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by
+ including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already
+ lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
+ one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.
