+Since version 4.91
+------------------
+
+JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
+ non-signal-safe functions being used.
+
+JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
+ number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
+ a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
+
+JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
+ files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
+ them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
+ after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart.
+
+JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
+ a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
+ Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
+ Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
+ file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
+ releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
+ file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
+
+JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
+ legitimate.
+
+JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
+ Previously this would segfault.
+
+JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
+ segfault.
+
+JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
+
+JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
+
+JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
+ using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
+ Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
+
+JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
+ one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
+ time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
+ Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
+
+JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
+ The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
+ was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
+
+JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
+ requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
+ TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
+ on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
+
+
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
the allocate and data copy operations duplicated in both (!) of the
was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
separate.
+JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in
+ unsupported situations, from error to silently (except under debug)
+ ignoring. This covers use with PRDR, frozen messages, queue-only and
+ fake-reject.
+
+HS/01 Fix Buffer overflow in base64d() (CVE-2018-6789)
+
+JH/16 Fix bug in DKIM verify: a buffer overflow could corrupt the malloc
+ metadata, resulting in a crash in free().
+
+PP/01 Fix broken Heimdal GSSAPI authenticator integration.
+ Broken in f2ed27cf5, missing an equals sign for specified-initialisers.
+ Broken also in d185889f4, with init system revamp.
+
+JH/17 Bug 2113: Fix conversation closedown with the Avast malware scanner.
+ Previously we abruptly closed the connection after reading a malware-
+ found indication; now we go on to read the "scan ok" response line,
+ and send a quit.
+
+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.
+
+JH/39 Fix syslog logging for syslog_timestamp=no and log_selector +millisec.
+ Previously the millisecond value corrupted the output.
+ Fix also for syslog_pid=no and log_selector +pid, for which the pid
+ corrupted the output.
