Once the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list. -Version 4.70 + +Version 4.72 ------------ - 1. Preliminary SPF Best Guess support. Documentation for this is in - experimental-spec.txt. + 1. TWO SECURITY FIXES: one relating to mail-spools which are globally + writable, the other to locking of MBX folders (not mbox). + + 2. MySQL stored procedures are now supported. + + 3. The dkim_domain transport option is now a list, not a single string, and + messages will be signed for each element in the list (discarding + duplicates). + + 4. The 4.70 release unexpectedly changed the behaviour of dnsdb TXT lookups + in the presence of multiple character strings within the RR. Prior to 4.70, + only the first string would be returned. The dnsdb lookup now, by default, + preserves the pre-4.70 semantics, but also now takes an extended output + separator specification. The separator can be followed by a semicolon, to + concatenate the individual text strings together with no join character, + or by a comma and a second separator character, in which case the text + strings within a TXT record are joined on that second character. + Administrators are reminded that DNS provides no ordering guarantees + between multiple records in an RRset. For example: + + foo.example. IN TXT "a" "b" "c" + foo.example. IN TXT "d" "e" "f" + + ${lookup dnsdb{>/ txt=foo.example}} -> "a/d" + ${lookup dnsdb{>/; txt=foo.example}} -> "def/abc" + ${lookup dnsdb{>/,+ txt=foo.example}} -> "a+b+c/d+e+f" + + +Version 4.70 / 4.71 +------------------- + + 1. Native DKIM support without an external library. + (Note that if no action to prevent it is taken, a straight upgrade will + result in DKIM verification of all signed incoming emails. See spec + for details on conditionally disabling) + + 2. Experimental DCC support via dccifd (contributed by Wolfgang Breyha). + + 3. There is now a bool{} expansion condition which maps certain strings to + true/false condition values (most likely of use in conjuction with the + and{} expansion operator). + + 4. The $spam_score, $spam_bar and $spam_report variables are now available + at delivery time. + + 5. exim -bP now supports "macros", "macro_list" or "macro MACRO_NAME" as + options, provided that Exim is invoked by an admin_user. + + 6. There is a new option gnutls_compat_mode, when linked against GnuTLS, + which increases compatibility with older clients at the cost of decreased + security. Don't set this unless you need to support such clients. + + 7. There is a new expansion operator, ${randint:...} which will produce a + "random" number less than the supplied integer. This randomness is + not guaranteed to be cryptographically strong, but depending upon how + Exim was built may be better than the most naive schemes. + + 8. Exim now explicitly ensures that SHA256 is available when linked against + OpenSSL. + + 9. The transport_filter_timeout option now applies to SMTP transports too. Version 4.68
