Once the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list. -Version 4.71 ------------- -Version 4.70 +Version 4.72 ------------ + 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 first output separator is used to join + multiple TXT records together; use a second separator character, followed + by a colon, to join the strings within a TXT record on that second + character, or use a semicolon to concatenate strings within a TXT record + with no separator. 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" + + Some character combinations are currently unsupported. + +Version 4.70 / 4.71 +------------------- + 1. Native DKIM support without an external library. 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 ------------
