options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog.
+Exim version 4.95
+-----------------
+
+JH/01 Bug 1329: Fix format of Maildir-format filenames to match other mail-
+ related applications. Previously an "H" was used where available info
+ says that "M" should be, so change to match.
+
+
Exim version 4.94
-----------------
on-stack buffers were used, resulting in a taint trap when DSN information
copied from a received message was written into the buffer.
+JH/09 Bug 2493: Harden ARC verify against Outlook, whick has been seen to mix
+ the ordering of its ARC headers. This caused a crash.
+
+JH/10 Bug 2492: Use tainted memory for retry record when needed. Previously when
+ a new record was being constructed with information from the peer, a trap
+ was taken.
+
+JH/11 Bug 2494: Unset the default for dmarc_tld_file. Previously a naiive
+ installation would get error messages from DMARC verify, when it hit the
+ nonexistent file indicated by the default. Distros wanting DMARC enabled
+ should both provide the file and set the option.
+ Also enforce no DMARC verification for command-line sourced messages.
+
+JH/12 Fix an uninitialised flag in early-pipelining. Previously connections
+ could, depending on the platform, hang at the STARTTLS response.
+
+JH/13 Bug 2498: Reset a counter used for ARC verify before handling another
+ message on a connection. Previously if one message had ARC headers and
+ the following one did not, a crash could result when adding an
+ Authentication-Results: header.
+
+JH/14 Bug 2500: Rewind some of the common-coding in string handling between the
+ Exim main code and Exim-related utities. The introduction of taint
+ tracking also did many adjustments to string handling. Since then, eximon
+ frequently terminated with an assert failure.
+
+JH/15 When PIPELINING, synch after every hundred or so RCPT commands sent and
+ check for 452 responses. This slightly helps the inefficieny of doing
+ a large alias-expansion into a recipient-limited target. The max_rcpt
+ transport option still applies (and at the current default, will override
+ the new feature). The check is done for either cause of synch, and forces
+ a fast-retry of all 452'd recipients using a new MAIL FROM on the same
+ connection. The new facility is not tunable at this time.
+
+JH/16 Fix the variables set by the gsasl authenticator. Previously a pointer to
+ library live data was being used, so the results became garbage. Make
+ copies while it is still usable.
+
+JH/17 Logging: when the deliver_time selector ise set, include the DT= field
+ on delivery deferred (==) and failed (**) lines (if a delivery was
+ attemtped). Previously it was only on completion (=>) lines.
+
+JH/18 Authentication: the gsasl driver not provides the $authN variables in time
+ for the expansion of the server_scram_iter and server_scram_salt options.
+
+WB/01 SPF: DNS lookups for the obsolete SPF RR type done by the libspf2 library
+ are now specifically given a NO_DATA response without hitting the system
+ resolver. The library goes on to do the now-standard TXT lookup.
+ Use of dnsdb lookups is not affected.
+
+JH/19 Bug 2507: Modules: on handling a dynamic-module (lookups) open failure,
+ only retrieve the errormessage once. Previously two calls to dlerror()
+ were used, and the second one (for mainlog/paniclog) retrieved null
+ information.
+
+JH/20 Taint checking: disallow use of tainted data for
+ - the appendfile transport file and directory options
+ - the pipe transport command
+ - the autoreply transport file, log and once options
+ - file names used by the redirect router (including filter files)
+ - named-queue names
+ - paths used by single-key lookups
+ Previously this was permitted.
+
+JH/21 Bug 2501: Fix init call in the heimdal authenticator. Previously it
+ adjusted the size of a major service buffer; this failed because the
+ buffer was in use at the time. Change to a compile-time increase in the
+ buffer size, when this authenticator is compiled into exim.
+
+JH/22 Taint-checking: move to safe-mode taint checking on all platforms. The
+ previous fast-mode was untenable in the face of glibs using mmap to
+ support larger malloc requests.
+
+PP/01 Update the openssl_options possible values through OpenSSL 1.1.1c.
+ New values supported, if defined on system where compiled:
+ allow_no_dhe_kex, cryptopro_tlsext_bug, enable_middlebox_compat,
+ no_anti_replay, no_encrypt_then_mac, prioritize_chacha, tlsext_padding
+
+JH/23 Performance improvement in the initial phase of a two-pass queue run. By
+ running a limited number of proceses in parallel, a benefit is gained. The
+ amount varies with the platform hardware and load. The use of the option
+ queue_run_in_order means we cannot do this, as ordering becomes
+ indeterminate.
+
+JH/24 Bug 2524: fix the cyrus_sasl auth driver gssapi usage. A previous fix
+ had introduced a string-copy (for ensuring NUL-termination) which was not
+ appropriate for that case, which can include embedded NUL bytes in the
+ block of data. Investigation showed the copy to actually be needless, the
+ data being length-specified.
+
+JH/25 Fix use of concurrent TLS connections under GnuTLS. When a callout was
+ done during a receiving connection, and both used TLS, global info was
+ used rather than per-connection info for tracking the state of data
+ queued for transmission. This could result in a connection hang.
+
+JH/26 Fix use of the SIZE parameter on MAIL commands, on continued connections.
+ Previously, when delivering serveral messages down a single connection
+ only the first would provide a SIZE. This was due to the size information
+ not being properly tracked.
+
+JH/27 Bug 2530: When operating in a timezone with sub-minute offset, such as
+ TAI (at 37 seconds currently), pretend to be in UTC for time-related
+ expansion and logging. Previously, spurious values such as a future
+ minute could be seen.
+
+JH/28 Bug 2533: Fix expansion of ${tr } item. When called in some situations
+ it could crash from a null-deref. This could also affect the
+ ${addresses: } operator and ${readsock } item.
+
+JH/29 Bug 2537: Fix $mime_part_count. When a single connection had a non-mime
+ message following a mime one, the variable was not reset.
+
+JH/30 When an pipelined-connect fails at the first response, assume incorrect
+ cached capability (perhaps the peer reneged?) and immediately retry in
+ non-pipelined mode.
+
+JH/31 Fix spurious detection of timeout while writing to transport filter.
+
+JH/32 Bug 2541: Fix segfault on bad cmdline -f (sender) argument. Previously
+ an attempt to copy the string was made before checking it.
+
+JH/33 Fix the dsearch lookup to return an untainted result. Previously the
+ taint of the lookup key was maintained; we now regard the presence in the
+ filesystem as sufficient validation.
+
+JH/34 Fix the readsocket expansion to not segfault when an empty "options"
+ argument is supplied.
+
+JH/35 The dsearch lookup now requires that the directory is an absolute path.
+ Previously this was not checked, and nonempty relative paths made an
+ access under Exim's current working directory.
+
+JH/36 Bug 2554: Fix msg:defer event for the hosts_max_try_hardlimit case.
+ Previously no event was raised.
+
+JH/37 Bug 2552: Fix the check on spool space during reception to use the SIZE
+ parameter supplied by the sender MAIL FROM command. Previously it was
+ ignored, and only the check_spool_space option value for the required
+ leeway checked.
+
+JH/38 Fix $dkim_key_length. This should, after a DKIM verification, present
+ the size of the signing public-key. Previously it was instead giving
+ the size of the signature hash.
+
+JH/39 DKIM verification: the RFC 8301 restriction on sizes of RSA keys is now
+ the default. See the (new) dkim_verify_min_keysizes option.
+
+JH/40 Fix a memory-handling bug: when a connection carried multiple messages
+ and an ACL use a lookup for checking either the local_part or domain,
+ stale data could be accessed. Ensure that variable references are
+ dropped between messages.
+
+JH/41 Bug 2571: Fix SPA authenticator. Running as a server, an offset supplied
+ by the client was not checked as pointing within response data before
+ being used. A malicious client could thus cause an out-of-bounds read and
+ possibly gain authentication. Fix by adding the check.
+
+JH/42 Internationalisation: change the default for downconversion in the smtp
+ transport to be "if needed". Previously it was "as previously set" for
+ the message, which usually meant "if needed" for message-submission but
+ "no" for everything else. However, MTAs have been seen using SMTPUTF8
+ even when the envelope addresses did not need it, resulting in forwarding
+ failures to non-supporting MTAs. A downconvert in such cases will be
+ a no-op on the addresses, merely dropping the use of SMTPUTF8 by the
+ transport. The change does mean that addresses needing conversion will
+ be converted when previously a delivery failure would occur.
+
+JH/43 Fix possible long line in DSN. Previously when a very long SMTP error
+ response was received it would be used unchecked in a fail-DSN, violating
+ standards on line-length limits. Truncate if needed.
+
+HS/01 Remove parameters of the link to www.open-spf.org. The linked form
+ doesn't work. (Additionally add a new main config option to configure the
+ spf_smtp_comment)
