Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+This document describes *changes* to previous versions, that might
+affect Exim's operation, with an unchanged configuration file. For new
+options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog.
+
+Exim version 4.89
+-------------------
+JH/01 Bug 1922: Support IDNA2008. This has slightly different conversion rules
+ than -2003 did; needs libidn2 in addition to linidn.
+
+JH/02 The path option on a pipe transport is now expanded before use.
Exim version 4.88
-----------------
+JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
+ supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).
+
+JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten
+ years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs
+ acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime.
+
+JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
+ a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
+ or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
+ was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
+ TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
+ MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
+ if one fails this test.
+ This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
+ but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.
+
+JH/04 Bug 1810: make continued-use of an open smtp transport connection
+ non-noisy when a race steals the message being considered.
+
+JH/05 If main configuration option tls_certificate is unset, generate a
+ self-signed certificate for inbound TLS connections.
+
+JH/06 Bug 165: hide more cases of password exposure - this time in expansions
+ in rewrites and routers.
+
+JH/07 Retire gnutls_require_mac et.al. These were nonfunctional since 4.80
+ and logged a warning sing 4.83; now they are a configuration file error.
+
+JH/08 Bug 1836: Fix crash in VRFY handling when handed an unqualified name
+ (lacking @domain). Apply the same qualification processing as RCPT.
+
+JH/09 Bug 1804: Avoid writing msglog files when in -bh or -bhc mode.
+
+JH/10 Support ${sha256:} applied to a string (as well as the previous
+ certificate).
+
+JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when
+ a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.
+ This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough
+ connection after a verify cache hit.
+ Do not update it with the verify result either.
+
+JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and
+ when routing results in more than one destination address.
+
+JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim
+ signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability). Previously only
+ the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as
+ empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available
+ when the cutthrough connection is made).
+
+JH/14 Fix logging of errors under PIPELINING. Previously the log line giving
+ the relevant preceding SMTP command did not note the pipelining mode.
+
+JH/15 Fix counting of empty lines in $body_linecount and $message_linecount.
+ Previously they were not counted.
+
+JH/16 DANE: treat a TLSA lookup response having all non-TLSA RRs, the same
+ as one having no matching records. Previously we deferred the message
+ that needed the lookup.
+
+JH/17 Fakereject: previously logged as a norml message arrival "<="; now
+ distinguished as "(=".
+
+JH/18 Bug 1867: make the fail_defer_domains option on a dnslookup router work
+ for missing MX records. Previously it only worked for missing A records.
+
+JH/19 Bug 1850: support Radius libraries that return REJECT_RC.
+
+JH/20 Bug 1872: Ensure that acl_smtp_notquit is run when the connection drops
+ after the data-go-ahead and data-ack. Patch from Jason Betts.
+
+JH/21 Bug 1846: Send DMARC forensic reports for reject and quaratine results,
+ even for a "none" policy. Patch from Tony Meyer.
+
+JH/22 Fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. If a port was
+ specified by a router, it must also match for the delivery to be
+ compatible.
+
+JH/23 Bug 1874: fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries.
+ When one of the recipients of a message was unsuitable for the connection
+ (has no matching addresses), we lost track of needing to mark it
+ deferred. As a result mail would be lost.
+
+JH/24 Bug 1832: Log EHLO response on getting conn-close response for HELO.
+
+JH/25 Decoding ACL controls is now done using a binary search; the source code
+ takes up less space and should be simpler to maintain. Merge the ACL
+ condition decode tables also, with similar effect.
+
+JH/26 Fix problem with one_time used on a redirect router which returned the
+ parent address unchanged. A retry would see the parent address marked as
+ delivered, so not attempt the (identical) child. As a result mail would
+ be lost.
+
+JH/27 Fix a possible security hole, wherein a process operating with the Exim
+ UID can gain a root shell. Credit to http://www.halfdog.net/ for
+ discovery and writeup. Ubuntu bug 1580454; no bug raised against Exim
+ itself :(
+
+JH/28 Enable {spool,log} filesystem space and inode checks as default.
+ Main config options check_{log,spool}_{inodes,space} are now
+ 100 inodes, 10MB unless set otherwise in the configuration.
+
+JH/29 Fix the connection_reject log selector to apply to the connect ACL.
+ Previously it only applied to the main-section connection policy
+ options.
+
+JH/30 Bug 1897: fix callouts connection fallback from TLS to cleartext.
+
+PP/01 Changed default Diffie-Hellman parameters to be Exim-specific, created
+ by me. Added RFC7919 DH primes as an alternative.
+
+PP/02 Unbreak build via pkg-config with new hash support when crypto headers
+ are not in the system include path.
+
+JH/31 Fix longstanding bug with aborted TLS server connection handling. Under
+ GnuTLS, when a session startup failed (eg because the client disconnected)
+ Exim did stdio operations after fclose. This was exposed by a recent
+ change which nulled out the file handle after the fclose.
+
+JH/32 Bug 1909: Fix OCSP proof verification for cases where the proof is
+ signed directly by the cert-signing cert, rather than an intermediate
+ OCSP-signing cert. This is the model used by LetsEncrypt.
+
+JH/33 Bug 1914: Ensure socket is nonblocking before draining after SMTP QUIT.
+
+HS/01 Fix leak in verify callout under GnuTLS, about 3MB per recipient on
+ an incoming connection.
+
+HS/02 Bug 1802: Do not half-close the connection after sending a request
+ to rspamd.
+
+HS/03 Use "auto" as the default EC curve parameter. For OpenSSL < 1.0.2
+ fallback to "prime256v1".
+
+JH/34 SECURITY: Use proper copy of DATA command in error message.
+ Could leak key material. Remotely explaoitable. CVE-2016-9963.
Exim version 4.87
now have the list separator specified.
JH/19 Bug 392: spamd_address, and clamd av_scanner, now support retry
- option values.
+ option values.
JH/20 Bug 1571: Ensure that $tls_in_peerdn is set, when verification fails
under OpenSSL.
JH/24 Verification callouts now attempt to use TLS by default.
-HS/01 DNSSEC options (dnssec_require_domains, dnssec_request_domains)
+HS/01 DNSSEC options (dnssec_require_domains, dnssec_request_domains)
are generic router options now. The defaults didn't change.
JH/25 Bug 466: Add RFC2322 support for MIME attachment filenames.
JH/36 Bug 1659: Guard checking of input smtp commands again pseudo-command
added for tls authenticator.
+HS/03 Add perl_taintmode main config option
+
