See + doc/experimental-spec.txt for details. (http://domainkeys.sf.net) + +TK/02 Fix ACL "control" statment not being available in MIME ACL. + +TK/03 Fix ACL "regex" condition not being available in MIME ACL. + +PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used + to test Sieve filters that use "vacation". + +PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch + that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file. + The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility, + if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an + old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This + means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the + file. + +PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not + work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the + parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried + again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of + these two options. + +PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are + redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog + entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to + consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for + "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an + address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under + certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same + address. A one-line patch to add the appropriate test fixes the bug. + +PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T + in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim. + +PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify = + header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash. + In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify = + reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are + supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_ + lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.) + +PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as + defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH + commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended + SMTP commands that take arguments. + +PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony + Finch). + +PH/09 Previously, an attempt to use ${perl when it wasn't compiled gave an + "unknown" error; now it says that the functionality isn't in the binary. + +PH/10 Added a nasty fudge to try to recognize and flatten LDAP passwords in + an address' error message when a string expansion fails (syntax or + whatever). Otherwise not only does the password appear in the log, it may + also be put in a bounce message. + +PH/11 Installed exipick version 20050225.0 from John Jetmore. + + +A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50 +---------------------------------------- + +Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of +changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was +needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially +in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes +that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance +release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start +from 4.43. + +I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since +4.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to +those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the +historical information. + + +Exim version 4.50 ----------------- 1.
