Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
Exim version 4.64
-----------------
+
TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
PH/31 Installed Andrew Findlay's patch to close the writing end of the socket
in ${readsocket because some servers need this prod.
+PH/32 Added some extra debug output when updating a wait-xxx database.
+
+PH/33 The hint "could be header name not terminated by colon", which has been
+ given for certain expansion errors for a long time, was not being given
+ for the ${if def:h_colon_omitted{... case.
+
+PH/34 The spec says: "With one important exception, whenever a domain list is
+ being scanned, $domain contains the subject domain." There was at least
+ one case where this was not true.
+
+PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
+ written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
+ panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
+ removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
+ fails.
+
+PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
+ runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
+ that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
+ message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
+ things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
+ server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
+ I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
+ based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
+ can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
+ smtp transport.
+
+PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the
+ remote server are returned as part of bounce messages. This was not
+ happening for LMTP over a pipe (the lmtp transport), but now it is the
+ same for both kinds of LMTP.
+
+PH/38 Despite being documented as not happening, Exim was rewriting addresses
+ in header lines that were in fact CNAMEs. This is no longer the case.
+
+PH/39 If -R or -S was given with -q<time>, the effect of -R or -S was ignored,
+ and queue runs started by the daemon processed all messages. This has
+ been fixed so that -R and -S can now usefully be given with -q<time>.
+
+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.
+

Exim version 4.63
