A variant of the "mask" expansion operator to give normalised IPv6. + + 3. UTC output option for exim_dumpdb, exim_fixdb. + + 4. An event for failing TLS connects to the daemon. + + 5. The ACL "debug" control gains options "stop", "pretrigger" and "trigger". + + 6. Query-style lookups are now checked for quoting, if the query string is + built using untrusted data ("tainted"). For now lack of quoting is merely + logged; a future release will upgrade this to an error. + + 7. The expansion conditions match_ and inlist now set $value for + the expansion of the "true" result of the ${if}. With a static list, this + can be used for de-tainting. + + 8.

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.

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 previous behaviour of always loading at startup time for every + connection.
