Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.82
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 Add -bI: framework, and -bI:sieve for querying sieve capabilities.
+
+PP/02 Make -n do something, by making it not do something.
+ When combined with -bP, the name of an option is not output.
+
+PP/03 Added tls_dh_min_bits SMTP transport driver option, only honoured
+ by GnuTLS.
+
+PP/04 First step towards DNSSEC, provide $sender_host_dnssec for
+ $sender_host_name and config options to manage this, and basic check
+ routines.
+
+PP/05 DSCP support for outbound connections and control modifier for inbound.
+
+PP/06 Cyrus SASL: set local and remote IP;port properties for driver.
+ (Only plugin which currently uses this is kerberos4, which nobody should
+ be using, but we should make it available and other future plugins might
+ conceivably use it, even though it would break NAT; stuff *should* be
+ using channel bindings instead).
+
+PP/07 Handle "exim -L <tag>" to indicate to use syslog with tag as the process
+ name; added for Sendmail compatibility; requires admin caller.
+ Handle -G as equivalent to "control = suppress_local_fixups" (we used to
+ just ignore it); requires trusted caller.
+ Also parse but ignore: -Ac -Am -X<logfile>
+ Bugzilla 1117.

+
+JH/12 Add optional authenticated_sender logging to A= and a log_selector
+ for control.
+
+
+Exim version 4.80.1
+-------------------
+
+PP/01 SECURITY: protect DKIM DNS decoding from remote exploit.
+ CVE-2012-5671
+ This, or similar/improved, will also be change PP/11 of 4.82.
+
+
+Exim version 4.80
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 Handle short writes when writing local log-files.
+ In practice, only affects FreeBSD (8 onwards).
+ Bugzilla 1053, with thanks to Dmitry Isaikin.
+
+NM/01 Bugzilla 949 - Documentation tweak
+
+NM/02 Bugzilla 1093 - eximstats DATA reject detection regexps
+ improved.
+
+NM/03 Bugzilla 1169 - primary_hostname spelling was incorrect in docs.
+
+PP/02 Implemented gsasl authenticator.
+
+PP/03 Implemented heimdal_gssapi authenticator with "server_keytab" option.
+
+PP/04 Local/Makefile support for (AUTH|LOOKUP)_*_PC=foo to use
+ `pkg-config foo` for cflags/libs.
+
+PP/05 Swapped $auth1/$auth2 for gsasl GSSAPI mechanism, to be more consistent
+ with rest of GSASL and with heimdal_gssapi.
+
+PP/06 Local/Makefile support for USE_(GNUTLS|OPENSSL)_PC=foo to use
+ `pkg-config foo` for cflags/libs for the TLS implementation.
+
+PP/07 New expansion variable $tls_bits; Cyrus SASL server connection
+ properties get this fed in as external SSF. A number of robustness
+ and debugging improvements to the cyrus_sasl authenticator.
+
+PP/08 cyrus_sasl server now expands the server_realm option.
+
+PP/09 Bugzilla 1214 - Log authentication information in reject log.
+ Patch by Jeremy Harris.
+
+PP/10 Added dbmjz lookup type.
+
+PP/11 Let heimdal_gssapi authenticator take a SASL message without an authzid.
+
+PP/12 MAIL args handles TAB as well as SP, for better interop with
+ non-compliant senders.
+ Analysis and variant patch by Todd Lyons.
+
+NM/04 Bugzilla 1237 - fix cases where printf format usage not indicated
+ Bug report from Lars Müller <lars@samba.org> (via SUSE),
+ Patch from Dirk Mueller <dmueller@suse.com>
+
+PP/13 tls_peerdn now print-escaped for spool files.
+ Observed some $tls_peerdn in wild which contained \n, which resulted
+ in spool file corruption.
+
+PP/14 TLS fixes for OpenSSL: support TLS 1.1 & 1.2; new "openssl_options"
+ values; set SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY so that OpenSSL will retry a read
+ or write after TLS renegotiation, which otherwise led to messages
+ "Got SSL error 2".
+
+TK/01 Bugzilla 1239 - fix DKIM verification when signature was not inserted
+ as a tracking header (ie: a signed header comes before the signature).
+ Patch from Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+JH/01 Bugzilla 660 - Multi-valued attributes from ldap now parseable as a
+ comma-sep list; embedded commas doubled.
+
+JH/02 Refactored ACL "verify =" logic to table-driven dispatch.
+
+PP/15 LDAP: Check for errors of TLS initialisation, to give correct
+ diagnostics.
+ Report and patch from Dmitry Banschikov.
+
+PP/16 Removed "dont_insert_empty_fragments" fron "openssl_options".
+ Removed SSL_clear() after SSL_new() which led to protocol negotiation
+ failures. We appear to now support TLS1.1+ with Exim.
+
+PP/17 OpenSSL: new expansion var $tls_sni, which if used in tls_certificate
+ lets Exim select keys and certificates based upon TLS SNI from client.
+ Also option tls_sni on SMTP Transports. Also clear $tls_bits correctly
+ before an outbound SMTP session. New log_selector, +tls_sni.
+
+PP/18 Bugzilla 1122 - check localhost_number expansion for failure, avoid
+ NULL dereference. Report and patch from Alun Jones.
+
+PP/19 DNS resolver init changes for NetBSD compatibility. (Risk of breakage
+ on less well tested platforms). Obviates NetBSD pkgsrc patch-ac.
+ Not seeing resolver debug output on NetBSD, but suspect this is a
+ resolver implementation change.
+
+PP/20 Revert part of NM/04, it broke log_path containing %D expansions.
+ Left warnings. Added "eximon gdb" invocation mode.
+
+PP/21 Defaulting "accept_8bitmime" to true, not false.
+
+PP/22 Added -bw for inetd wait mode support.
+
+PP/23 Added PCRE_CONFIG=yes support to Makefile for using pcre-config to
+ locate the relevant includes and libraries. Made this the default.
+
+PP/24 Fixed headers_only on smtp transports (was not sending trailing dot).
+ Bugzilla 1246, report and most of solution from Tomasz Kusy.
+
+JH/03 ${eval } now uses 64-bit and supports a "g" suffix (like to "k" and "m").
+ This may cause build issues on older platforms.
+
+PP/25 Revamped GnuTLS support, passing tls_require_ciphers to
+ gnutls_priority_init, ignoring Exim options gnutls_require_kx,
+ gnutls_require_mac & gnutls_require_protocols (no longer supported).
+ Added SNI support via GnuTLS too.
+ Made ${randint:..} supplier available, if using not-too-old GnuTLS.
+
+PP/26 Added EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP for OpenSSL.
+
+PP/27 Applied dnsdb SPF support patch from Janne Snabb.
+ Applied second patch from Janne, implementing suggestion to default
+ multiple-strings-in-record handling to match SPF spec.
+
+JH/04 Added expansion variable $tod_epoch_l for a higher-precision time.
+
+PP/28 Fix DCC dcc_header content corruption (stack memory referenced,
+ read-only, out of scope).
+ Patch from Wolfgang Breyha, report from Stuart Northfield.
+
+PP/29 Fix three issues highlighted by clang analyser static analysis.
+ Only crash-plausible issue would require the Cambridge-specific
+ iplookup router and a misconfiguration.
+ Report from Marcin Mirosław.
+
+PP/30 Another attempt to deal with PCRE_PRERELEASE, this one less buggy.
+
+PP/31 %D in printf continues to cause issues (-Wformat=security), so for
+ now guard some of the printf checks behind WANT_DEEPER_PRINTF_CHECKS.
+ As part of this, removing so much warning spew let me fix some minor
+ real issues in debug logging.
+
+PP/32 GnuTLS was always using default tls_require_ciphers, due to a missing
+ assignment on my part. Fixed.
+
+PP/33 Added tls_dh_max_bits option, defaulting to current hard-coded limit
+ of NSS, for GnuTLS/NSS interop. Problem root cause diagnosis by
+ Janne Snabb (who went above and beyond: thank you).
+
+PP/34 Validate tls_require_ciphers on startup, since debugging an invalid
+ string otherwise requires a connection and a bunch more work and it's
+ relatively easy to get wrong. Should also expose TLS library linkage
+ problems.
+
+PP/35 Pull in <features.h> on Linux, for some portability edge-cases of
+ 64-bit ${eval} (JH/03).
+
+PP/36 Define _GNU_SOURCE in exim.h; it's needed for some releases of
+ GNU libc to support some of the 64-bit stuff, should not lead to
+ conflicts. Defined before os.h is pulled in, so if a given platform
+ needs to override this, it can.
+
+PP/37 Unbreak Cyrus SASL auth: SSF retrieval was incorrect, Exim thought
+ protection layer was required, which is not implemented.
+ Bugzilla 1254, patch from Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+PP/38 Overhaul DH prime handling, supply RFC-specified DH primes as built
+ into Exim, default to IKE id 23 from RFC 5114 (2048 bit). Make
+ tls_dhparam take prime identifiers. Also unbreak combination of
+ OpenSSL+DH_params+TLSSNI.
+
+PP/39 Disable SSLv2 by default in OpenSSL support.
+
+
+Exim version 4.77
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 Solaris build fix for Oracle's LDAP libraries.
+ Bugzilla 1109, patch from Stephen Usher.
+
+TF/01 HP/UX build fix: avoid arithmetic on a void pointer.
+
+TK/01 DKIM Verification: Fix relaxed canon for empty headers w/o
+ whitespace trailer
+
+TF/02 Fix a couple more cases where we did not log the error message
+ when unlink() failed. See also change 4.74-TF/03.
+
+TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
+ lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
+ got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
+
+ The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
+ log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
+ purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
+ not safe for signals.
+
+ The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
+ log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
+ Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
+ Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
+ exiwhat.
+
+TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
+
+ The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
+ has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
+ are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
+ database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
+ means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
+
+ Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
+ makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
+ message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
+ per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
+ must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
+ /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
+
+ The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
+ backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
+ ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
+ /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
+
+ A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
+ of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
+ aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
+ to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
+
+ The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
+ (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
+ used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
+ measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
+ or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
+ /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
+ Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
+ one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
+ and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
+
+ The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
+ is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
+ after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
+ count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
+
+ The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
+ events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
+ recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
+ behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
+ duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
+ the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
+ is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
+ example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
+ with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
+ details in the main documentation.
+
+TF/05 Removed obsolete $Cambridge$ CVS revision strings.
+
+TF/06 Removed a few PCRE remnants.
+
+TF/07 Automatically extract Exim's version number from tags in the git
+ repository when doing development or release builds.
+
+PP/02 Raise smtp_cmd_buffer_size to 16kB.
+ Bugzilla 879. Patch from Paul Fisher.
+
+PP/03 Implement SSL-on-connect outbound with protocol=smtps on smtp transport.
+ Heavily based on revision 40f9a89a from Simon Arlott's tree.
+ Bugzilla 97.
+
+PP/04 Use .dylib instead of .so for dynamic library loading on MacOS.
+
+PP/05 Variable $av_failed, true if the AV scanner deferred.
+ Bugzilla 1078. Patch from John Horne.
+
+PP/06 Stop make process more reliably on build failure.
+ Bugzilla 1087. Patch from Heiko Schlittermann.
+
+PP/07 Make maildir_use_size_file an _expandable_ boolean.
+ Bugzilla 1089. Patch from Heiko Schlittermann.
+
+PP/08 Handle ${run} returning more data than OS pipe buffer size.
+ Bugzilla 1131. Patch from Holger Weiß.
+
+PP/09 Handle IPv6 addresses with SPF.
+ Bugzilla 860. Patch from Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+PP/10 GnuTLS: support TLS 1.2 & 1.1.
+ Bugzilla 1156.
+ Use gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() [patch from Andreas Metzler].
+ Bugzilla 1095.
+
+PP/11 match_* no longer expand right-hand-side by default.
+ New compile-time build option, EXPAND_LISTMATCH_RHS.
+ New expansion conditions, "inlist", "inlisti".
+
+PP/12 fix uninitialised greeting string from PP/03 (smtps client support).
+
+PP/13 shell and compiler warnings fixes for RC1-RC4 changes.
+
+PP/14 fix log_write() format string regression from TF/03.
+ Bugzilla 1152. Patch from Dmitry Isaikin.
+
+
+Exim version 4.76
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 The new ldap_require_cert option would segfault if used. Fixed.
+
+PP/02 Harmonised TLS library version reporting; only show if debugging.
+ Layout now matches that introduced for other libraries in 4.74 PP/03.
+
+PP/03 New openssl_options items: no_sslv2 no_sslv3 no_ticket no_tlsv1
+
+PP/04 New "dns_use_edns0" global option.
+
+PP/05 Don't segfault on misconfiguration of ref:name exim-user as uid.

+
+TK/01 Updated PolarSSL code to 0.14.2.
+ Bugzilla 1097. Patch from Andreas Metzler.
+
+PP/07 Catch divide-by-zero in ${eval:...}.
+ Fixes bugzilla 1102.
+
+PP/08 Condition negation of bool{}/bool_lax{} did not negate. Fixed.
+ Bugzilla 1104.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla 1106: CVE-2011-1764 - DKIM log line was subject to a
+ format-string attack -- SECURITY: remote arbitrary code execution.
+
+TK/03 SECURITY - DKIM signature header parsing was double-expanded, second
+ time unintentionally subject to list matching rules, letting the header
+ cause arbitrary Exim lookups (of items which can occur in lists, *not*
+ arbitrary string expansion). This allowed for information disclosure.
+
+PP/09 Fix another SIGFPE (x86) in ${eval:...} expansion, this time related to
+ INT_MIN/-1 -- value coerced to INT_MAX.
