For new options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog. -Since version 4.98 ------------------- +Exim version 4.98 +----------------- JH/01 Use fewer forks & execs for sending many messages to a single host. - By passing back the next message-id from the transport to the delivery - process, we can loop there. A two-phase queue run will benefit, - particularly for mailinglist and smarthost cases. + By passing back more info from the transport to the delivery process, + we can loop there. A two-phase queue run will benefit, particularly for + mailinglist and smarthost cases. + +JH/02 Add transaction support for hintsdbs. The providers supported are tdb and + sqlite. Transactions are used for the wait-transport and retry DBs. + They imply locking internal to the DB. We no longer need a separate + lockfile, can keep the DB handle open for extended periods, yet + potentially benefit from concurrency on non-conflicting record uses. + +JH/03 With dkim_verify_minimal, avoid calling the DKIM ACL after the first + good verify. + +JH/04 Remove the docs and support scripts dealing with conversion of Exim + version 3 installations. + +JH/05 Fix hintsdb support for dbmjz when compiled using sqlite3. Previously + the backend support assumed keys would be simple C strings, but dbmjz + uses keys with embedded NUL bytes. The builtin hintsdb use is unaffected, + but installations using dbmjz will need to rebuild those DBs. + +JH/06 Bug 1141: When operating a continued-connection transport, verify that + the interface option, if specified, evaluates to match the connection. + Previously, a queued message for the same host was sent without checking. + +JH/07 Bug 3106: Fix coding in SPA authenticator. A macro argument was not + properly parenthesized, resulting in a logic error. While the simple + fix was provided by Andrew Aitchison, the over-large code block resulting + from this macro made me want to replace it with a real function so more + extensive rework becamse needed. + +JH/08 The output of "exim -bV" now includes lookup types built as dynamic-load + modules. + +JH/09 Not a change, but worthy of note: There is no test coverage of the + heimdall-gssapi authenticator driver. It does build, though with (on at + least one platform) library version conflicts with the gsasl auth + driver). Confidence in its operation is lacking. + +JH/10 Bug 3108: On platforms not providing strchrnul() [OpenBSD] supply a proper + prototype (as well as implementaton). Previously, a return type "int" + was assumed, resulting in type-conversion bugs when int and pointer had + different size. This resulted in crashes while processing DKIM signatures + of received messages. Identification and fix from Qualys Security. + +JH/11 Lookups built as dynamic-load modules which support a single lookup + type are now only loaded if required by the config. Previously all lookup + modules present in the modules directory were loaded; this now applies + only to those supporting multiple types.
