Thanks to + Jan Srzednicki. + +PH/01 Added a new log selector smtp_no_mail, to log SMTP sessions that do not + issue a MAIL command. + +PH/02 In an ACL statement such as + + deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2 + + if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than + 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list, + the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied. + The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second + item. This has been fixed. + +PH/03 Added additional dnslists conditions == and =& which are different from + = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address. + +PH/04 Added gnutls_require_{kx,mac,protocols} to give more control over the + cipher suites used by GnuTLS. These options are ignored by OpenSSL. + +PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_ + FSYNC, which compiles an option called disable_fsync that allows for + bypassing fsync(). The documentation is heavily laced with warnings. + +SC/01 Updated eximstats to collate all SpamAssassin rejects into one bucket. + +PH/06 Some tidies to the infrastructure of the Test Suite that is concerned + with the auxiliary C programs that it uses: (1) Arrange for BIND_8_COMPAT + to be defined when compiling on OSX (Darwin); (2) Tidies to the Makefile, + including adding "make clean"; (3) Added -fPIC when compiling the test + dynamically loaded module, to get rid of a warning. + +MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce + message fails, move_frozen_messages = true and ignore_bounce_errors_after + = 0s. The bug is otherwise harmless. + +PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of + $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a + successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by + the server_setid option was incorrect. + +PH/08 Added $smtp_count_at_connection_start, deliberately with a long name. + + +Exim version 4.66 +----------------- + +PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one + fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed: + + (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison + operators. This behaviour has been restored. + + (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat + their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers + starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal. + + While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that + hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option + and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0. + The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as + decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation. + + +Exim version 4.65 +----------------- + +TK/01 Disable default definition of HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE. Clashes with + Linux large file support (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) on older glibc + versions. (#438) + +MH/01 Don't check that the operands of numeric comparison operators are + integers when their expansion is in "skipping" mode (fixes bug + introduced by 4.64-PH/07). + +PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767) + child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count + is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a + large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous + (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit + rather than extend the field. + + Exim version 4.64 ----------------- + TK/01 Bugzilla #401.
