-Since Exim version 4.90
------------------------
+Exim version 4.91
+-----------------
+
+GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
+ When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
+ in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
+ case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
+ next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
+ be defined in redis_servers.
+
+GF/02 Catch and remove uninitialized value warning in exiqsumm
+ Check for existence of @ARGV before looking at $ARGV[0]
JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(),
which internalises the check required to safely use the old one, plus
found indication; now we go on to read the "scan ok" response line,
and send a quit.
-JH/18 Convert macro handling to be tree-based, from the previous linear list.
- With the number of builtin macros we now have this is worthwhile,
- dropping the config-file read time (during which new macros are checked
- and registered, and macros are expanded) from about 500 usec to about 180.
+JH/18 Bug 2239: Enforce non-usability of control=utf8_downconvert in the mail
+ ACL. Previously, a crash would result.
+
+JH/19 Speed up macro lookups during configuration file read, by skipping non-
+ macro text after a replacement (previously it was only once per line) and
+ by skipping builtin macros when searching for an uppercase lead character.
+
+JH/20 DANE support moved from Experimental to mainline. The Makefile control
+ for the build is renamed.
+
+JH/21 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS. A buffer
+ was allocated for every new TLS startup, meaning one per message. Fix
+ by only allocating once (OpenSSL) or freeing on TLS-close (GnuTLS).
+
+JH/22 Bug 2236: When a DKIM verification result is overridden by ACL, DMARC
+ reported the original. Fix to report (as far as possible) the ACL
+ result replacing the original.
+
+JH/23 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS under
+ OpenSSL. Certificate information is loaded for every new TLS startup,
+ and the resources needed to be freed.
+
+JH/24 Bug 2242: Fix exim_dbmbuild to permit directoryless filenames.
+
+JH/25 Fix utf8_downconvert propagation through a redirect router. Previously it
+ was not propagated.
+
+JH/26 Bug 2253: For logging delivery lines under PRDR, append the overall
+ DATA response info to the (existing) per-recipient response info for
+ the "C=" log element. It can have useful tracking info from the
+ destination system. Patch from Simon Arlott.
+
+JH/27 Bug 2251: Fix ldap lookups that return a single attribute having zero-
+ length value. Previously this would segfault.
+
+HS/02 Support Avast multiline protoocol, this allows passing flags to
+ newer versions of the scanner.
+
+JH/28 Ensure that variables possibly set during message acceptance are marked
+ dead before release of memory in the daemon loop. This stops complaints
+ about them when the debug_store option is enabled. Discovered specifically
+ for sender_rate_period, but applies to a whole set of variables.
+ Do the same for the queue-runner and queue-list loops, for variables set
+ from spool message files. Do the same for the SMTP per-message loop, for
+ certain variables indirectly set in ACL operations.
+
+JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
+ as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
+ an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
+ enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
+ input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
+ responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
+ The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
+ receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
+ (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).
+ Discovered and pinpointed by David Carter.
+
+JH/30 The (EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC) variable $dmarc_ar_header is withdrawn, being
+ replaced by the ${authresults } expansion.
+
+JH/31 Bug 2257: Fix pipe transport to not use a socket-only syscall.
+
+HS/03 Set a handler for SIGTERM and call exit(3) if running as PID 1. This
+ allows proper process termination in container environments.
+
+JH/32 Bug 2258: Fix spool_wireformat in combination with LMTP transport.
+ Previously the "final dot" had a newline after it; ensure it is CR,LF.
+
+JH/33 SPF: remove support for the "spf" ACL condition outcome values "err_temp"
+ and "err_perm", deprecated since 4.83 when the RFC-defined words
+ "temperror" and "permerror" were introduced.
+
+JH/34 Re-introduce enforcement of no cutthrough delivery on transports having
+ transport-filters or DKIM-signing. The restriction was lost in the
+ consolidation of verify-callout and delivery SMTP handling.
+ Extend the restriction to also cover ARC-signing.
+
+JH/35 Cutthrough: for a final-dot response timeout (and nonunderstood responses)
+ in defer=pass mode supply a 450 to the initiator. Previously the message
+ would be spooled.
+
+PP/02 DANE: add dane_require_tls_ciphers SMTP Transport option; if unset,
+ tls_require_ciphers is used as before.
+
+HS/03 Malware Avast: Better match the Avast multiline protocol. Add
+ "pass_unscanned". Only tmpfails from the scanner are written to
+ the paniclog, as they may require admin intervention (permission
+ denied, license issues). Other scanner errors (like decompression
+ bombs) do not cause a paniclog entry.
+
+JH/36 Fix reinitialisation of DKIM logging variable between messages.
+ Previously it was possible to log spurious information in receive log
+ lines.
+
+JH/37 Bug 2255: Revert the disable of the OpenSSL session caching. This
+ triggered odd behaviour from Outlook Express clients.
+
+PP/03 Add util/renew-opendmarc-tlds.sh script for safe renewal of public
+ suffix list.
+
+JH/38 DKIM: accept Ed25519 pubkeys in SubjectPublicKeyInfo-wrapped form,
+ since the IETF WG has not yet settled on that versus the original
+ "bare" representation.
