Once the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list. +Version 4.75 +------------ + + 1. In addition to the existing LDAP and LDAP/SSL ("ldaps") support, there + is now LDAP/TLS support, given sufficiently modern OpenLDAP client + libraries. The following global options have been added in support of + this: ldap_ca_cert_dir, ldap_ca_cert_file, ldap_cert_file, ldap_cert_key, + ldap_cipher_suite, ldap_require_cert, ldap_start_tls. + + 2. The pipe transport now takes a boolean option, "freeze_signal", default + false. When true, if the external delivery command exits on a signal then + Exim will freeze the message in the queue, instead of generating a bounce. + + 3. Log filenames may now use %M as an escape, instead of %D (still available). + The %M pattern expands to yyyymm, providing month-level resolution. + + 4. The $message_linecount variable is now updated for the maildir_tag option, + in the same way as $message_size, to reflect the real number of lines, + including any header additions or removals from transport. + + 5. When contacting a pool of SpamAssassin servers configured in spamd_address, + Exim now selects entries randomly, to better scale in a cluster setup. + + +Version 4.74 +------------ + + 1. SECURITY FIX: privilege escalation flaw fixed. On Linux (and only Linux) + the flaw permitted the Exim run-time user to cause root to append to + arbitrary files of the attacker's choosing, with the content based + on content supplied by the attacker. + + 2. Exim now supports loading some lookup types at run-time, using your + platform's dlopen() functionality. This has limited platform support + and the intention is not to support every variant, it's limited to + dlopen(). This permits the main Exim binary to not be linked against + all the libraries needed for all the lookup types. + + Version 4.73 ------------
