 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
 

+Exim version 4.60
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 Two changes to the default runtime configuration:
+
+      (1) Move the checks for relay_from_hosts and authenticated clients from
+          after to before the (commented out) DNS black list checks.
+
+      (2) Add control=submission to the relay_from_hosts and authenticated
+          clients checks, on the grounds that messages accepted by these
+          statements are most likely to be submissions.
+
+PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck:
+
+      (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is
+          not a single digit.
+
+      (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
+          string.
+
+      (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
+          ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
+          because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
+          silly things.
+
+      (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
+          one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
+
+      (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
+          inside the third argument.
+
+PH/03 For some reason, the default setting of PATH when running a command from
+      a pipe transport was just "/usr/bin". I have changed it to
+      "/bin:/usr/bin".
+
+PH/04 SUPPORT_TRANSLATE_IP_ADDRESS and MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES did not cause
+      anything to be listed in the output from -bV.
+
+
+Exim version 4.54
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was
+      set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not.
+      It now does.
+
+PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on
+      the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c.
+
+PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile.
+
+PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-"
+      header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929.
+      Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as
+      non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated
+      anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.)
+
+TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax
+      errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option
+      now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters
+      but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain
+      or /domain=).
+
+PH/05 Some modifications to the interface to the fake nameserver for the new
+      testing suite.
+
+

 PH/40 RM_COMMAND is now used in the building process.
 
 
 PH/40 RM_COMMAND is now used in the building process.
 

+PH/41 Added a "distclean" target to the top-level Makefile; it deletes all
+      the "build-* directories that it finds.
+
+PH/42 (But a TF fix): In a domain list, Exim incorrectly matched @[] if the IP
+      address in a domain literal was a prefix of an interface address.
+
+PH/43 (Again a TF fix): In the dnslookup router, do not apply widen_domains
+      when verifying a sender address, unless rewrite_headers is false.
+
+PH/44 Wrote a long comment about why errors_to addresses are verified as
+      recipients, not senders.
+
+TF/01 Add missing LIBS=-lm to OS/Makefile-OpenBSD which was overlooked when
+      the ratelimit ACL was added.
+
+PH/45 Added $smtp_command for the full command (cf $smtp_command_argument).
+
+PH/46 Added extra information about PostgreSQL errors to the error string.
+
+PH/47 Added an interface to a fake DNS resolver for use by the new test suite,
+      avoiding the need to install special zones in a real server. This is
+      backwards compatible; if it can't find the fake resolver, it drops back.
+      Thus, both old and new test suites can be run.
+
+TF/02 Added util/ratelimit.pl
+
+TF/03 Minor fix to the ratelimit code to improve its behaviour in case the
+      clock is set back in time.
+
+TF/04 Fix the ratelimit support in exim_fixdb. Patch provided by Brian
+      Candler <B.Candler@pobox.com>.
+
+TF/05 The fix for PH/43 was not completely correct; widen_domains is always
+      OK for addresses that are the result of redirections.
+
+PH/48 A number of further additions for the benefit of the new test suite,
+      including a fake gethostbyname() that interfaces to the fake DNS resolver
+      (see PH/47 above).
+
+TF/06 The fix for widen_domains has also been applied to qualify_single and
+      search_parents which are the other dnslookup options that can cause
+      header rewrites.
+
+PH/49 Michael Haardt's randomized retrying, but as a separate retry parameter
+      type ("H").
+
+PH/50 Make never_users, trusted_users, admin_groups, trusted_groups expandable.
+
+TF/07 Exim produced the error message "an SRV record indicated no SMTP
+      service" if it encountered an MX record with an empty target hostname.
+      The message is now "an MX or SRV record indicated no SMTP service".
+
+TF/08 Change PH/13 introduced the possibility that verify=helo may defer,
+      if the DNS of the sending site is misconfigured. This is quite a
+      common situation. This change restores the behaviour of treating a
+      helo verification defer as a failure.
+
+PH/51 If self=fail was set on a router, the bounce message did not include the
+      actual error message.
