See NewStuff for details. + +PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe + command itself ended in error, the underlying message about the transport + filter timeout was being overwritten with the pipe command error. Now the + underlying error message should be appended to the second error message. + +TK/01 Fix poll() being unavailable on Mac OSX 10.2. + +PH/02 Reduce the amount of output that "make" produces by default. Full output + can still be requested. + +PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb + was being output only once per connection, rather than after each + occurrence (because it was using the same function as for successful + "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it. + +TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that + it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right + circumstances, but probably never did. + +PH/04 Installed a modified version of Tony Finch's patch to make submission + mode fix the return path as well as the Sender: header line, and to + add a /name= option so that you can make the user's friendly name appear + in the header line. + +TF/03 Added the control = fakedefer ACL modifier. + +TF/04 Added the ratelimit ACL condition. See NewStuff for details. + +TK/02 Rewrote SPF support to work with libspf2 versions >1.2.0. + +TK/03 Merged latest SRS patch from Miles Wilton. + +PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts + with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier). + Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to + preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were + scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion, + so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h. + +PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout + in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single + write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write. + This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it + would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It + doesn't have to be particularly precise. + +TK/04 Added simple SPF lookup method in EXPERIMENTAL_SPF. See NewStuff for + details. Thanks to Chris Webb for the patch! + +PH/07 Added "fullpostmaster" verify option, which does a check to + without a domain if the check to fails. + +SC/01 Eximstats: added -xls and the ability to specify output files + (patch written by Frank Heydlauf). + +SC/02 Eximstats: use FileHandles for outputing results. + +SC/03 Eximstats: allow any combination of xls, txt, and html output. + +SC/04 Eximstats: fixed display of large numbers with -nvr option + +SC/05 Eximstats: fixed merging of reports with empty tables. + +SC/06 Eximstats: added the -include_original_destination flag + +SC/07 Eximstats: removed tabs and trailing whitespace. + +TK/05 Malware: Improve on aveserver error handling. Patch from Alex Miller. + +TK/06 MBOX spool code: Add real "From " MBOX separator line + so the .eml file is really in mbox format (even though + most programs do not really care). Patch from Alex Miller. + +TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers. + The latter is generated from $received_to and is only set if the + message has one envelope recipient. SA can use these headers, + obviously out-of-the-box. Patch from Alex Miller. + +PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's + value was "0", contrary to what the specification has always said! + The result should be true unless the variable is empty. + +PH/09 The syntax error of a character other than { following "${if + def:variable_name" (after optional whitespace) was not being diagnosed. + An expansion such as ${if def:sender_ident:{xxx}{yyy}} in which an + accidental colon was present, for example, could give incorrect results. + +PH/10 Tidied the code in a number of places where the st_size field of a stat() + result is used (not including appendfile, where other changes are about + to be made). + +PH/11 Upgraded appendfile so that quotas larger than 2G are now supported. + This involved changing a lot of size variables from int to off_t. It + should work with maildirs and everything. + + Exim version 4.51 ----------------- @@ -63,8 +164,9 @@ PH/09 Previously, an attempt to use ${perl when it wasn't compiled gave an PH/10 Added a nasty fudge to try to recognize and flatten LDAP passwords in an address' error message when a string expansion fails (syntax or - whatever).

Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For + consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now + treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However, + there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called + timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for + both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in + the log output. + +PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On + systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top + level broke things. I've arranged for the value of $(MAKE) to be passed + from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of + "make". + A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50 ----------------------------------------
