Once the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list. +Version 4.95 +------------ + + 1. The fast-ramp two phase queue run support, previously experimental, is + now supported by default. + + 2. The native SRS support, previously experimental, is now supported. It is + not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile. + + 3. TLS resumption support, previously experimental, is now supported and + included in default builds. + + 4. Single-key LMDB lookups, previously experimental, are now supported. + The support is not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile. + + 5. Option "message_linelength_limit" on the smtp transport to enforce (by + default) the RFC 998 character limit. + + 6. An option to ignore the cache on a lookup. + + 7. Quota checking during reception (i.e. at SMTP time) for appendfile- + transport-managed quotas. + + 8. Sqlite lookups accept a "file=" option to specify a per-operation + db file, replacing the previous prefix to the SQL string (which had + issues when the SQL used tainted values). + + 9. Lsearch lookups accept a "ret=full" option, to return both the portion + of the line matching the key, and the remainder. + +10. A command-line option to have a daemon not create a notifier socket. + +11. Faster TLS startup. When various configuration options contain no + expandable elements, the information can be preloaded and cached rather + than the provious behaviour of always loading at startup time for every + connection. This helps particularly for the CA bundle. + +12. Proxy Protocol Timeout is configurable via "proxy_protocol_timeout" + main config option. + +Version 4.94 +------------ + + 1. EXPERIMENTAL_SRS_NATIVE optional build feature. See the experimental.spec + file. + + 2. Channel-binding for authenticators is now supported under OpenSSL. + Previously it was GnuTLS-only. + + 3. A msg:defer event. + + 4. Client-side support in the gsasl authenticator. Tested against the + plaintext driver for PLAIN; only against itself for SCRAM-SHA-1 and + SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS methods. + + 5. Server-side support in the gsasl authenticator for encrypted passwords, as + an alternate for the existing plaintext. + + 6. Variable $local_part_data now also set by router check_local_user option, + with an de-tainted version of $local_part. + + 7. Named-list definitions can now be prefixed "hide" so that "-bP" commands do + not output the content. Previously this could only be done on options. + + 8. As an experimental feature, the dovecot authentication driver supports inet + sockets. Previously it was unix-domain sockets only. + + 9. The ACL control "queue_only" can also be spelled "queue", and now takes an + option "first_pass_route" to do the same as a "-odqs" on the command line. + +10. Items specified for the router and transport headers_remove option can use + a trailing asterisk to specify globbing. + +11. New $queue_size variable. + +12. New variables $local_part_{pre,suf}fix_v. + +13. New main option "sqlite_dbfile", for use in preference to prefixing the + lookup string. The older method fails when tainted variables are used + in the lookup, as the filename becomes tainted. The new method keeps the + filename separate. + +14. Options on the dsearch lookup, to return the full path and to filter + filetypes for matching. + +15. Options on pgsql and mysql lookups, to specify server separate from the + lookup string. + +16. An option on all single-key lookups, to return (on a hit) a de-tainted + version of the lookup key rather than the looked-up data. + +17. $domain_data and $local_part_data are now set by all list-match successes. + Previously only list items that performed lookups did so. + Also, matching list items that are tail-match or RE-match now set the + numeric variables $0 (etc) in the same way os other RE matches. + +18. Expansion item ${listquote {}}. + +19. An option for the ${readsocket {}{}{}} expansion to make the result data + cacheable. + +20. dkim_verify_min_keysizes, a list of minimum acceptable public-key sizes. + +21. bounce_message_file and warn_message_file are now expanded before use. + +22. New main config option spf_smtp_comment_template to customise the + $spf_smtp_comment variable + + + +Version 4.93 +------------ + + 1. An "external" authenticator, per RFC 4422 Appendix A. + + 2. A JSON lookup type, and JSON variants of the forall/any expansion conditions. + + 3. Variables $tls_in_cipher_std, $tls_out_cipher_std giving the RFC names + for ciphersuites. + + 4. Log_selectors "msg_id" (on by default) and "msg_id_created". + + 5. A case_insensitive option for verify=not_blind. + + 6. EXPERIMENTAL_TLS_RESUME optional build feature. See the experimental.spec + file. + + 7. A main option exim_version to override the version Exim + reports in verious places ($exim_version, $version_number). + + 8. Expansion operator ${sha2_N:} for N=256, 384, 512. + + 9. Router variables, $r_... settable from router options and usable in routers + and transports. + +10. The spf lookup now supports IPv6. + +11. Main options for DKIM verify to filter hash and key types. + +12. With TLS1.3, support for full-chain OCSP stapling. + +13. Dual-certificate stacks on servers now support OCSP stapling, under OpenSSL. + +14: An smtp:ehlo transport event, for observability of the remote offered features. + +15: Support under OpenSSL for writing NSS-style key files for packet-capture + decode. The environment variable SSLKEYLOGFILE is used; if an absolute path + it must indicate a file under the spool directory; if relative the the spool + directory is prepended. Works on the server side only. Support under + GnuTLS was already there, being done purely by the library (server side + only, and exim must be run as root). + +16: Command-line option to move messages from one named queue to another. + +17.
