that might affect a running system.
+Exim version 4.92
+-----------------
+
+ * Exim used to manually follow CNAME chains, to a limited depth. In this
+ day-and-age we expect the resolver to be doing this for us, so the loop
+ is limited to one retry unless the (new) config option dns_cname_loops
+ is changed.
+
+Exim version 4.91
+-----------------
+
+ * DANE and SPF have been promoted from Experimental to Supported status, thus
+ the options to enable them in Local/Makefile have been renamed.
+ See current src/EDITME for full details, including changes in dependencies,
+ but loosely: replace EXPERIMENTAL_SPF with SUPPORT_SPF and replace
+ EXPERIMENTAL_DANE with SUPPORT_DANE.
+
+ * Ancient ClamAV stream support, long deprecated by ClamAV, has been removed;
+ if you were building with WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM enabled then your problems
+ have marginally increased.
+
+ * A number of logging changes; if relying upon the previous DKIM additional
+ log-line, explicit log_selector configuration is needed to keep it.
+
+ * Other incompatible changes in EXPERIMENTAL_* features, read NewStuff and
+ ChangeLog carefully if relying upon an experimental feature such as DMARC.
+ Note that this includes changes to SPF as it was promoted into Supported.
+
+
+Exim version 4.89
+-----------------
+
+ * SMTP CHUNKING in Exim 4.88 did not ensure that received mails had a final
+ newline; attempts to deliver such messages onwards to non-chunking hosts
+ would probably hang, as Exim does not insert the newline before a ".".
+ In 4.89, the newline is added upon receipt. For already-received messages
+ in your queue, try util/chunking_fixqueue_finalnewlines.pl
+ to walk the queue, fixing any affected messages. Note that because a
+ delivery attempt will be hanging, attempts to lock the messages for fixing
+ them will stall; stopping all queue-runners temporarily is recommended.
+
+ * OpenSSL: oldest supported release series is now 1.0.2, which is the oldest
+ supported by the OpenSSL project. If you can build Exim with an older
+ release series, congratulations. If you can't, then upgrade.
+ The file doc/openssl.txt contains instructions for installing a current
+ OpenSSL outside the system library paths and building Exim to use it.
+
+ * FreeBSD: we now always use the system iconv in libc, as all versions of
+ FreeBSD supported by the FreeBSD project provide this functionality.
+
+
+Exim version 4.88
+-----------------
+
+ * The "demime" ACL condition, deprecated for the past 10 years, has
+ now been removed.
+
+ * Old GnuTLS configuration options "gnutls_require_kx", "gnutls_require_mac",
+ and "gnutls_require_protocols" have now been removed. (Inoperative from
+ 4.80, per below; logging warnings since 4.83, again per below).
+
+
+Exim version 4.83
+-----------------
+
+ * SPF condition results renamed "permerror" and "temperror". The old
+ names are still accepted for back-compatability, for this release.
+
+ * TLS details are now logged on rejects, subject to log selectors.
+
+ * Items in headers_remove lists must now have any embedded list-separators
+ doubled.
+
+ * Attempted use of the deprecated options "gnutls_require_kx" et. al.
+ now result in logged warning.
+
+
+Exim version 4.82
+-----------------
+
+ * New option gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 defaults false; if you have GnuTLS 2.12.0
+ or later and do want PKCS11 modules to be autoloaded, then set this option.
+
+ * A per-transport wait-<name> database is no longer updated if the transport
+ sets "connection_max_messages" to 1, as it can not be used and causes
+ unnecessary serialisation and load. External tools tracking the state of
+ Exim by the hints databases may need modification to take this into account.
+
+ * The av_scanner option can now accept multiple clamd TCP targets, all other
+ setting limitations remain.
+
+
Exim version 4.80
-----------------
the message. No tool has been provided as we believe this is a rare
occurence.
+ * For OpenSSL, SSLv2 is now disabled by default. (GnuTLS does not support
+ SSLv2). RFC 6176 prohibits SSLv2 and some informal surveys suggest no
+ actual usage. You can re-enable with the "openssl_options" Exim option,
+ in the main configuration section. Note that supporting SSLv2 exposes
+ you to ciphersuite downgrade attacks.
+
* With OpenSSL 1.0.1+, Exim now supports TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2. If built
against 1.0.1a then you will get a warning message and the
"openssl_options" value will not parse "no_tlsv1_1": the value changes
"openssl_options" gains "no_tlsv1_1", "no_tlsv1_2" and "no_compression".
COMPATIBILITY WARNING: The default value of "openssl_options" is no longer
- "+dont_insert_empty_fragments". We default to unset. That old default was
- grandfathered in from before openssl_options became a configuration option.
+ "+dont_insert_empty_fragments". We default to "+no_sslv2".
+ That old default was grandfathered in from before openssl_options became a
+ configuration option.
Empty fragments are inserted by default through TLS1.0, to partially defend
against certain attacks; TLS1.1+ change the protocol so that this is not
needed. The DIEF SSL option was required for some old releases of mail
is instead given to gnutls_priority_init(3), which expects a priority string;
this behaviour is much closer to the OpenSSL behaviour. See:
- http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html
+ http://www.gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html
for fuller documentation of the strings parsed. The three gnutls_require_*
options are still parsed by Exim and, for this release, silently ignored.
3. Version 4.23 saves the contents of the ACL variables with the message, so
that they can be used later. If one of these variables contains a newline,
there will be a newline character in the spool that will not be interpreted
- correctely by a previous version of Exim. (Exim ignores keyed spool file
+ correctly by a previous version of Exim. (Exim ignores keyed spool file
items that it doesn't understand - precisely for this kind of problem - but
it expects them all to be on one line.)
