Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.63
+-----------------
+
+SC/01 Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in eximstats generated
+ parser. This improves both readability and performance.
+
+SC/02 Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics in eximstats.
+ Don't display local sender or destination tables in eximstats unless
+ there is data to show.
+ Added average volumes into the eximstats top table text output.
+
+SC/03 Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients) as well
+ as the number of messages in eximstats.
+
+TF/01 Correct an error in the documentation for the redirect router. Exim
+ does (usually) call initgroups() when daemonizing.
+
+TF/02 Call initgroups() when dropping privilege in exim.c, so that Exim runs
+ with consistent privilege compared to when running as a daemon.
+
+TF/03 Note in the spec that $authenticated_id is not set for local
+ submissions from trusted users.
+
+TF/04 The ratelimit per_rcpt option now works correctly in acl_not_smtp.
+ Thanks to Dean Brooks <dean@iglou.com> for the patch.
+
+TF/05 Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working
+ by adding some example configuration directives to the default
+ configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the
+ directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but
+ there is now a framework to start from.
+
+PH/01 Added #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 to ldap.c because some of the "old"
+ functions that Exim currently uses aren't defined in ldap.h for OpenLDAP
+ without this. I don't know how relevant this is to other LDAP libraries.
+
+PH/02 Add the verb name to the "unknown ACL verb" error.
+
+PH/03 Magnus Holmgren's patch for filter_prepend_home.
+
+PH/03 Fixed Bugzilla #101: macro definition between ACLs doesn't work.
+
+PH/04 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch to fix Bugzilla #98: transport's home
+ directory not expanded when it should be if an expanded home directory
+ was set for the address (which is overridden by the transport).
+
+PH/05 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch to fix Bugzilla #99: a problem with
+ libradius.
+
+PH/06 Added acl_not_smtp_start, based on Johannes Berg's patch, and set the
+ bit to forbid control=suppress_local_fixups in the acl_not_smtp ACL,
+ because it is too late at that time, and has no effect.
+
+PH/07 Changed ${quote_pgsql to quote ' as '' instead of \' because of a
+ security issue with \' (bugzilla #107). I could not use the
+ PQescapeStringConn() function, because it needs a PGconn value as one of
+ its arguments.
+
+
+Exim version 4.62
+-----------------
+
+TF/01 Fix the add_header change below (4.61 PH/55) which had a bug that (amongst
+ other effects) broke the use of negated acl sub-conditions.
+
+PH/01 ${readsocket now supports Internet domain sockets (modified John Jetmore
+ patch).
+
+PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
+ "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
+ Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
+ tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
+ kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
+ Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
+ 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
+ if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
+ 451 error is used.
+
+PH/03 Add -lutil to the default FreeBSD LIBS setting.
+
+PH/04 Change PH/19 for 4.61 was too wide. It should not be applied to host
+ errors. Otherwise a message that provokes a temporary error (when other
+ messages do not) can cause a whole host to time out.
+
+PH/05 Batch deliveries by appendfile and pipe transports did not work when the
+ addresses were routed directly to files or pipes from a redirect router.
+ File deliveries just didn't batch; pipe deliveries might have suffered
+ odd errors.
+
+PH/06 A failure to get a lock for a hints database would erroneously always say
+ "Failed to get write lock", even when it was really a read lock.
+
+PH/07 The appendfile transport was creating MBX lock files with a fixed mode
+ of 0600. This has been changed to use the value of the lockfile_mode
+ option (which defaults to 0600).
+
+PH/08 Applied small patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
+ folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
+ up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
+ used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
+ was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
+ excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
+ processing for deliveries into excluded directories.
+
+PH/10 Added the maildirfolder_create_regex option to appendfile.
+
+
Exim version 4.61
-----------------
when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
"time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.
+ [Note: This change was subsequently modified - see PH/04 for 4.62.]
PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as
$1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some
include only those that have been read before the error was detected.
(In the case of an ACL rejection, they have all been read.)
+PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called
+ spec_html instead of spec.html, because the latter looks like a path with
+ a MIME-type, and this confuses some software.
+
+PH/70 Catch two compiler warnings in sieve.c.
+
+PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
+ function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
+ if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
+ socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
+ between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
+ the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
+ descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
+ not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
+ the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
+ this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
+ uses, but I've fixed it anyway.
+
+PH/72 Make dns_again_means_nonexist apply to lookups using gethostbyname() as
+ well as to direct DNS lookups. Otherwise the handling of names in host
+ lists is inconsistent and therefore confusing.
+
