This is a SASL interface, licensed under GPL, which can be found at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/.
This system does not provide sources of data for authentication, so
- careful use needs to be made of the conditions in Exim. Note that
- this can not yet be used as a drop-in replacement for Cyrus SASL, as
- Exim is currently unable to construct strings with embedded NULs for
- use as keys in lookups against sasldb2.
+ careful use needs to be made of the conditions in Exim.
2. New authenticator driver, "heimdal_gssapi". Server-only.
A replacement for using cyrus_sasl with Heimdal, now that $KRB5_KTNAME
"LOOKUP_LIBS" directly. Similarly for handling the TLS library support
without adjusting "TLS_INCLUDE" and "TLS_LIBS".
+ 4. New expansion variable $tls_bits.
+
+ 5. New lookup type, "dbmjz". Key is an Exim list, the elements of which will
+ be joined together with ASCII NUL characters to construct the key to pass
+ into the DBM library. Can be used with gsasl to access sasldb2 files as
+ used by Cyrus SASL.
+
+ 6. OpenSSL now supports TLS1.1 and TLS1.2 with OpenSSL 1.0.1.
+
+ Avoid release 1.0.1a if you can. Note that the default value of
+ "openssl_options" is no longer "+dont_insert_empty_fragments", as that
+ increased susceptibility to attack. This may still have interoperability
+ implications for very old clients (see version 4.31 change 37) but
+ administrators can choose to make the trade-off themselves and restore
+ compatibility at the cost of session security.
+
+ 7. Use of the new expansion variable $tls_sni in the main configuration option
+ tls_certificate will cause Exim to re-expand the option, if the client
+ sends the TLS Server Name Indication extension, to permit choosing a
+ different certificate; tls_privatekey will also be re-expanded. You must
+ still set these options to expand to valid files when $tls_sni is not set.
+
+ The SMTP Transport has gained the option tls_sni, which will set a hostname
+ for outbound TLS sessions, and set $tls_sni too.
+
+ A new log_selector, +tls_sni, has been added, to log received SNI values
+ for Exim as a server.
+
+ Currently OpenSSL only.
