This should + mean slightly faster delivery, and also confirmation of reception + to senders. + +JH/02 Move from using the pcre library to pcre2. The former is no longer + being developed or supported (by the original developer). + +JH/03 Constification work in the filters module required a major version + bump for the local-scan API. Specifically, the "headers_charset" + global which is visible via the API is now const and may therefore + not be modified by local-scan code. + +JH/04 Fix ClamAV TCP use under FreeBSD. Previously the OS-specific shim for + sendfile() didi not account for the way the ClamAV driver code called it. + +JH/05 Bug 2819: speed up command-line messages being read in.

Previously the string + sent was prefixed with a length byte. + +JH/07 Change the SMTP feature name for pipelining connect to be compliant with + RFC 5321. Previously Dovecot (at least) would log errors during + submission. + +JH/08 Remove stripping of the binaries from the FreeBSD build. This was added + in 4.61 without a reason logged. Binaries will be bigger, which might + matter on diskspace-constrained systems, but debug is easier. + +JH/09 Fix macro-definition during "-be" expansion testing. The move to + write-protected store for macros had not accounted for these runtime + additions; fix by removing this protection for "-be" mode. + +JH/10 Convert all uses of select() to poll(). FreeBSD 12.2 was found to be + handing out large-numbered file descriptors, violating the usual Unix + assumption (and required by Posix) that the lowest possible number will be + allocated by the kernel when a new one is needed. In the daemon, and any + child procesees, values higher than 1024 (being bigger than FD_SETSIZE) + are not useable for FD_SET() [and hence select()] and overwrite the stack. + Assorted crashes happen. + +JH/11 Fix use of $sender_host_name in daemon process.

This likely also affected + $domain_part_data. + +JH/40 The gsasl authenticator now supports caching of the salted password + generated by the client-side implementation. This required the addition + of a new variable: $auth4. + +JH/41 Fix daemon SIGHUP on FreeBSD. Previously, a named socket for IPC was + left undeleted; the attempt to re-create it then failed - resulting in + the usual "SIGHUP tp have daemon reload configuration" to not work. + This affected any platform not supporting "abstract" Unix-domain + sockets (i.e. not Linux). + +JH/42 Bug 2693: Harden against a peer which reneges on a 452 "too many + recipients" response to RCPT in a later response, with a 250. The + previous coding assumed this would not happen, and under PIPELINING + would result in both lost and duplicate recipients for a message. + +JH/43 Bug 2694: Fix weighted distribution of work to multiple spamd servers. + Previously the weighting was incorrectly applied. Similar fix for socks + proxies. Found and fixed by Heiko Schlichting. + +JH/44 Bug 2701: Fix list-expansion of dns_ipv4_lookup.

Do it + per-pool so as not to waste too much space. Previously a constant size + was used which resulted in O(n^2) behaviour; now we get O(n log n) making + DOS attacks harder. The cost is wasted memory use in the larger blocks. + +JH/47 Use explicit alloc/free for DNS lookup workspace. This permits using the + same space repeatedly, and a smaller process footprint. + +JH/48 Use a less bogus-looking filename for a temporary used for DH-parameters + for GnuTLS. Previously the name started "%s" which, while not a bug, + looked as if if might be one. + +JH/49 Bug 2710: when using SOCKS for additional messages after the first (a + "continued connection") make the $proxy_* variables available. Previously + the information was not passed across the exec() call for subsequent + transport executions. This also mean that the log lines for the + messages can show the proxy information. + +JH/50 Bug 2672: QT elements in log lines, unless disabled, now exclude the + receive time. With modern systems the difference is significant. + The historical behaviour can be restored by disabling (a new) log_selector + "queue_time_exclusive". + +JH/51 Taint-check ACL line.
