Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.67
+-----------------
+
+MH/01 Fix for bug #448, segfault in Dovecot authenticator when interface_address
+ is unset (happens when testing with -bh and -oMi isn't used). Thanks to
+ Jan Srzednicki.
+
+PH/01 Added a new log selector smtp_no_mail, to log SMTP sessions that do not
+ issue a MAIL command.
+
+PH/02 In an ACL statement such as
+
+ deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
+
+ if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
+ 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
+ the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
+ The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
+ item. This has been fixed.
+
+PH/03 Added additional dnslists conditions == and =& which are different from
+ = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address.
+
+PH/04 Added gnutls_require_{kx,mac,protocols} to give more control over the
+ cipher suites used by GnuTLS. These options are ignored by OpenSSL.
+
+PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_
+ FSYNC, which compiles an option called disable_fsync that allows for
+ bypassing fsync(). The documentation is heavily laced with warnings.
+
+SC/01 Updated eximstats to collate all SpamAssassin rejects into one bucket.
+
+PH/06 Some tidies to the infrastructure of the Test Suite that is concerned
+ with the auxiliary C programs that it uses: (1) Arrange for BIND_8_COMPAT
+ to be defined when compiling on OSX (Darwin); (2) Tidies to the Makefile,
+ including adding "make clean"; (3) Added -fPIC when compiling the test
+ dynamically loaded module, to get rid of a warning.
+
+MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce
+ message fails, move_frozen_messages = true and ignore_bounce_errors_after
+ = 0s. The bug is otherwise harmless.
+
+PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of
+ $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a
+ successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by
+ the server_setid option was incorrect.
+
+PH/08 Added $smtp_count_at_connection_start, deliberately with a long name.
+
+PH/09 Installed PCRE release 7.0.
+
+PH/10 The acl_not_smtp_start ACL was, contrary to the documentation, not being
+ run for batched SMTP input. It is now run at the start of every message
+ in the batch. While fixing this I discovered that the process information
+ (output by running exiwhat) was not always getting set for -bs and -bS
+ input. This is fixed, and it now also says "batched" for BSMTP.
+
+PH/11 Added control=no_pipelining.
+
+PH/12 Added $sending_ip_address and $sending_port (mostly Magnus Holmgren's
+ patch, slightly modified), and move the expansion of helo_data till after
+ the connection is made in the smtp transport (so it can use these
+ values).
+
+PH/13 Added ${rfc2047d: to decoded RFC 2047 strings.
+
+PH/14 Added log_selector = +pid.
+
+PH/15 Flush SMTP output before delaying, unless control=no_delay_flush is set.
+
+PH/16 Add ${if forany and ${if forall.
+
+PH/17 Added dsn_from option to vary the From: line in DSNs.
+
+PH/18 Flush SMTP output before performing a callout, unless control =
+ no_callout_flush is set.
+
+PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender
+ was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry
+ item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now
+ fixed.
+
+PH/20 Added hosts_avoid_pipelining to the smtp transport.
+
+PH/21 Long custom messages for fakedefer and fakereject are now split up
+ into multiline reponses in the same way that messages for "deny" and
+ other ACL rejections are.
+
+PH/22 Applied Jori Hamalainen's speed-up changes and typo fixes to exigrep,
+ with slight modification.
+
+PH/23 Applied sieve patches from the maintainer "tracking the latest notify
+ draft, changing the syntax and factoring some duplicate code".
+
+PH/24 When the log selector "outgoing_port" was set, the port was shown as -1
+ for deliveries of the second and subsequent messages over the same SMTP
+ connection.
+
+PH/25 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch for ${addresses, ${map, ${filter, and
+ ${reduce, with only minor "tidies".
+
+SC/02 Applied Daniel Tiefnig's patch to improve the '($parent) =' pattern match.
+
+PH/26 Added a "continue" ACL modifier that does nothing, for the benefit of its
+ expansion side effects.
+
+PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed
+ quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not
+ being given when it was a system quota that was exceeded. It now should
+ be the same.
+
+MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has
+ better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but
+ $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings.
+
+PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct
+ in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the
+ address, for example: MAIL FROM:<foo@bar> SIZE=1234. The option settings
+ were accidentally chopped off.
+
+PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
+ there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
+ any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
+ some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
+ arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
+ HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
+ pipelining has not been advertised.
+
+PH/30 MH's patch to allow iscntrl() characters to be list separators.
+
+PH/31 Unlike :fail:, a custom message specified with :defer: was not being
+ returned in the SMTP response when smtp_return_error_details was false.
+ This has been fixed.
+
+PH/32 Change the Dovecot authenticator to use read() and write() on the socket
+ instead of the C I/O that was originally supplied, because problems were
+ reported on Solaris.
+
+PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
+ Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
+ SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
+ no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
+ was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
+ changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
+ error. Exim's code has been fixed.
+
+PH/34 Change HDA_SIZE in oracle.c from 256 to 512. This is needed for 64-bit
+ cpus.
+
+PH/35 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which fixes a bug in "notify".
+
+PH/36 Applied John Jetmore's patch to add -v functionality to exigrep.
+
+
+Exim version 4.66
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
+ fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
+
+ (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
+ operators. This behaviour has been restored.
+
+ (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
+ their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
+ starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
+
+ While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
+ hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
+ and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
+ The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
+ decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.
+
+
+Exim version 4.65
+-----------------
+
+TK/01 Disable default definition of HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE. Clashes with
+ Linux large file support (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) on older glibc
+ versions. (#438)
+
+MH/01 Don't check that the operands of numeric comparison operators are
+ integers when their expansion is in "skipping" mode (fixes bug
+ introduced by 4.64-PH/07).
+
+PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
+ child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
+ is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
+ large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
+ (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
+ rather than extend the field.
+
+
Exim version 4.64
-----------------
PH/40 Import PCRE release 6.7 (fixes some bugs).
+PH/41 Add bitwise logical operations to eval (courtesy Brad Jorsch).
+
+PH/42 Give an error if -q is specified more than once.
+
+PH/43 Renamed the variables $interface_address and $interface_port as
+ $received_ip_address and $received_port, to make it clear that these
+ values apply to message reception, and not to the outgoing interface when
+ a message is delivered. (The old names remain recognized, of course.)
+
+PH/44 There was no timeout on the connect() call when using a Unix domain
+ socket in the ${readsocket expansion. There now is.
+
+PH/45 Applied a modified version of Brad Jorsch's patch to allow "message" to
+ be meaningful with "accept".
+
+SC/01 Eximstats V1.43
+ Bug fix for V1.42 with -h0 specified. Spotted by Chris Lear.
+
+SC/02 Eximstats V1.44
+ Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in the generated
+ parser. This improves both readability and performance.
+
+SC/03 Eximstats V1.45 (Marco Gaiarin / Steve Campbell)
+ Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics.
+ Don't display local sender or destination tables unless
+ there is data to show.
+ Added average volumes into the top table text output.
+
+SC/04 Eximstats V1.46
+ Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients)
+ as well as the number of messages.
+
+SC/05 Eximstats V1.47
+ Added 'Message too big' to the list of mail rejection
+ reasons (thanks to Marco Gaiarin).
+
+SC/06 Eximstats V1.48
+ Mainlog lines which have GMT offsets and are too short to
+ have a flag are now skipped.
+
+SC/07 Eximstats V1.49 (Alain Williams)
+ Added the -emptyok flag.
+
+SC/08 Eximstats V1.50
+ Fixes for obtaining the IP address from reject messages.
+
+JJ/03 exipick.20061117.2, made header handling as similar to exim as possible
+ (added [br]h_ prefixes, implemented RFC2047 decoding. Fixed
+ whitesspace changes from 4.64-PH/27
+
+JJ/04 exipick.20061117.2, fixed format and added $message_headers_raw to
+ match 4.64-PH/13
+
+JJ/05 exipick.20061117.2, bug fixes (error out sooner when invalid criteria
+ are found, allow negative numbers in numeric criteria)
+
+JJ/06 exipick.20061117.2, added new $message_body_missing variable
+
+JJ/07 exipick.20061117.2, added $received_ip_address and $received_port
+ to match changes made in 4.64-PH/43
+
+PH/46 Applied Jori Hamalainen's patch to add features to exiqsumm.
+
+PH/47 Put in an explicit test for a DNS lookup of an address record where the
+ "domain" is actually an IP address, and force a failure. This locks out
+ those revolvers/nameservers that support "A-for-A" lookups, in
+ contravention of the specifications.
+
+PH/48 When a host name was looked up from an IP address, and the subsequent
+ forward lookup of the name timed out, the host name was left in
+ $sender_host_name, contrary to the specification.
+
+PH/49 Although default lookup types such as lsearch* or cdb*@ have always been
+ restricted to single-key lookups, Exim was not diagnosing an error if
+ * or *@ was used with a query-style lookup.
+
+PH/50 Increased the value of DH_BITS in tls-gnu.c from 768 to 1024.
+
+MH/01 local_scan ABI version incremented to 1.1. It should have been updated
+ long ago, but noone interested enough thought of it. Let's just say that
+ the "1.1" means that there are some new functions that weren't there at
+ some point in the past.
+
+PH/51 Error processing for expansion failure of helo_data from an smtp
+ transport during callout processing was broken.
+
+PH/52 Applied John Jetmore's patch to allow tls-on-connect and STARTTLS to be
+ tested/used via the -bh/-bhc/-bs options.
+
+PH/53 Added missing "#include <time.h>" to pcre/pcretest.c (this was a PCRE
+ bug, fixed in subsequent PCRE releases).
+
+PH/54 Applied Robert Bannocks' patch to avoid a problem with references that
+ arises when using the Solaris LDAP libraries (but not with OpenLDAP).
+
+PH/55 Check for a ridiculously long file name in exim_dbmbuild.
+
