Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.61
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
+ system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
+ systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
+ code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
+ IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
+ that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
+ addresses as local.
+
+
Exim version 4.60
-----------------
PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists
(Bugzilla #53).
+PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
+ canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
+ the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
+ addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
+ have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
+ addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
+ fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
+ by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
+ the text comparison.
+
+PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
+ given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
+ form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
+ The same fix has been applied.
+
Exim version 4.54
