Once the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list. +Version 4.81 +------------ + + 1. New command-line option -bI:sieve will list all supported sieve extensions + of this Exim build on standard output, one per line. + ManageSieve (RFC 5804) providers managing scripts for use by Exim should + query this to establish the correct list to include in the protocol's + SIEVE capability line. + + 2. If the -n option is combined with the -bP option, then the name of an + emitted option is not output, only the value (if visible to you). + For instance, "exim -n -bP pid_file_path" should just emit a pathname + followed by a newline, and no other text. + + 3. When built with SUPPORT_TLS and USE_GNUTLS, the SMTP transport driver now + has a "tls_dh_min_bits" option, to set the minimum acceptable number of + bits in the Diffie-Hellman prime offered by a server (in DH ciphersuites) + acceptable for security. (Option accepted but ignored if using OpenSSL). + Defaults to 1024, the old value. May be lowered only to 512, or raised as + far as you like. Raising this may hinder TLS interoperability with other + sites and is not currently recommended. Lowering this will permit you to + establish a TLS session which is not as secure as you might like. + + Unless you really know what you are doing, leave it alone. + + 4. If not built with DISABLE_DNSSEC, Exim now has the main option + dns_use_dnssec; if set to 1 then Exim will initialise the resolver library + to send the DO flag to your recursive resolver. If you have a recursive + resolver, which can set the Authenticated Data (AD) flag in results, Exim + can now detect this. + + Current status: work-in-progress; $sender_host_dnssec variable added. + + 5. DSCP support for outbound connections: on a transport using the smtp driver, + set "dscp = ef", for instance, to cause the connections to have the relevant + DSCP (IPv4 TOS or IPv6 TCLASS) value in the header. + + Similarly for inbound connections, there is a new control modifier, dscp, + so "warn control = dscp/ef" in the connect ACL, or after authentication. + + Supported values depend upon system libraries. "exim -bI:dscp" to list the + ones Exim knows of. You can also set a raw number 0..0x3F. + + Version 4.80 ------------
