Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+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.
+
+
Exim version 4.61
-----------------
PH/54 Added control=allow_auth_unadvertised, as it seems there are clients that
do this, and (what is worse) MTAs that accept it.
+PH/55 Added the add_header modified to ACLs. The use of "message" with "warn"
+ will now be deprecated.
+
+PH/56 New os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer.
+
+JJ/06 exipick: added --unsorted option to allow unsorted output in all output
+ formats (previously only available in exim formats via -bpr, -bpru,
+ and -bpra. Now also available in native and exiqgrep formats)
+
+JJ/07 exipick: added --freeze and --thaw options to allow faster interaction
+ with very large, slow to parse queues
+
+JJ/08 exipick: added ! as generic prefix to negate any criteria format
+
+JJ/09 exipick: miscellaneous performance enhancements (~24% improvements)
+
+PH/57 Tidies in SMTP dialogue display in debug output: (i) It was not showing
+ responses to authentication challenges, though it was showing the
+ challenges; (ii) I've removed the CR characters from the debug output for
+ SMTP output lines.
+
+PH/58 Allow for the insertion of a newline as well as a space when a string
+ is turned into more than one encoded-word during RFC 2047 encoding. The
+ Sieve code now uses this.
+
+PH/59 Added the following errors that can be detected in retry rules: mail_4xx,
+ data_4xx, lost_connection, tls_required.
+
+PH/60 When a VRFY deferred or FAILED, the log message rather than the user
+ message was being sent as an SMTP response.
+
+PH/61 Add -l and -k options to exicyclog.
+
+PH/62 When verifying, if an address was redirected to one new address, so that
+ verification continued, and the new address failed or deferred after
+ having set something in $address_data, the value of $address_data was not
+ passed back to the ACL. This was different to the case when no
+ redirection occurred. The value is now passed back in both cases.
+
+PH/63 Changed the macro HAVE_LOGIN_CAP (see PH/41 for this release above) to
+ HAVE_SETCLASSRESOURCES because there are different APIs in use that all
+ use login_cap.h, so on its own it isn't the distinguishing feature. The
+ new name refers directly to the setclassresources() function.
+
+PH/65 Added configuration files for NetBSD3.
+
+PH/66 Updated OS/Makefile-HP-UX for gcc 4.1.0 with HP-UX 11.
+
+PH/67 Fixed minor infelicity in the sorting of addresses to ensure that IPv6
+ is preferred over IPv4.
+
+PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being
+ honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages.
+ In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
+ been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
+ body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
+ 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.
+
