Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
+ in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
+ dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
+ contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
+ in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
+ (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
+ keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
+ for iplsearch lookups.
+
+ This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
+ colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
+ previously such lookups could never work.
+
+ The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
+ ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
+ incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
+
Exim version 4.67
