Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11
above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables
is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld
- or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define ASSUME_
- LONG_LONG_SUPPORT if the length is greater than 4. This is needed for the
- internal formatting function string_vformat().
+ or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T
+ to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal
+ formatting function string_vformat().
PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in
the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where
FROM address for the random test, but not for the subsequent recipient
test. It is now used for both.
+PH/19 Applied Michael Haardt's patch to update Sieve to RFC3028bis. "The
+ patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the
+ latest draft now contains them. It adds the new en;ascii-case comparator
+ and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and
+ require names are now matched exactly. I enabled the subaddress
+ extension, but it is not well tested yet (read: it works for me)."
+
+PH/20 Added macros for time_t as for off_t (see PH/15 above) and used them to
+ rework some of the code of TK/09 above to avoid the hardwired use of
+ "%lld" and "long long". Replaced the call to snprintf() with a call to
+ string_vformat().
+
+PH/21 Added another message to those in 4.51/PH/42, namely "All relevant MX
+ records point to non-existent hosts".
+
+PH/22 Fixed some oversights/typos causing bugs when Exim is compiled with
+ experimental DomainKeys support:
+
+ (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken.
+ (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for
+ the control was given.
+
+ These problems did NOT occur unless DomainKeys support was compiled.
+
+PH/23 Added daemon_startup_retries and daemon_startup_sleep.
+
+PH/24 Added ${if match_ip condition.
+
+PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints
+ databases so that it will be absolutely obvious if a crash occurs in the
+ DB library. This is a regular occurrence (often caused by mis-matched
+ db.h files).
+
+PH/26 Insert a lot of missing (void) casts for functions such as chown(),
+ chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were
+ picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem
+ to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be
+ put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have
+ set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due
+ course.
+
+PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
+ specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
+ router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
+ read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
+ just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
+ introduced by 4.51/PH/31.
+
+PH/28 Changed -d+all to exclude +memory, because that information is very
+ rarely of interest, but it makes the output a lot bigger. People tend to
+ do -d+all out of habit.
+
+PH/29 Removed support for the Linux-libc5 build, as it is obsolete and the
+ code in os-type was giving problems when libc.so lives in lib64, like on
+ x86_64 Fedora Core.
+
+PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
+ aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
+ don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
+ ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
+ record types that Exim uses.
+
+PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
+ not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
+ prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
+ data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
+ non-existent file that was broken.
+
+TK/10 Domainkeys: Fix a bug in verification that caused a crash in conjunction
+ with a change in libdomainkeys > 0.64.
+
+TK/11 Domainkeys: Change the logic how the "testing" policy flag is retrieved
+ from DNS. If the selector record carries the flag, it now has
+ precedence over the domain-wide flag.
+
+TK/12 Cleared some compiler warnings related to SPF, SRS and DK code.
