Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
just the host names, not the priorities.
(3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
- looked up.
+ looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
+ controlled by a keyword.
(4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
multiple records are returned.
introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
because the tests only now provoked it.
+46. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
+ (this can affect the format of dates).
+
+47. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
+ which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
+ messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
+ deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
+
+48. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
+
+49. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
+ on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
+ contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
+ was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
+
+50. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
+ (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
+ AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
+
+51. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
+ autoreply.
+
+52. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
+ recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
+ as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
+ increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
+ happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
+ have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
+ is going on).
+
+53. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
+ the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
+ was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
+ the line.
+
+54. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
+ patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
+ create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
+
+ "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
+ Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
+ Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
+ of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
+ But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
+ so I produce this patch..."
+
+55. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
+ keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
+ dnsdb lookup now tests whether it's key is an IP address. If not, it leaves
+ it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
+
+56. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
+
+57. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
+ long debug lines gets shown.
+
+58. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
+ exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
+
+59. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
+
+ (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
+ (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
+ of $primary_hostname.
+
Exim version 4.43
