For new +options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog. + +Exim version 4.89 +------------------- +JH/01 Bug 1922: Support IDNA2008. This has slightly different conversion rules + than -2003 did; needs libidn2 in addition to linidn. + +JH/02 The path option on a pipe transport is now expanded before use. + + +Exim version 4.88 +----------------- +JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination + supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one). + +JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten + years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs + acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime. + +JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously + a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style) + or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup + was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the + TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority + MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane) + if one fails this test. + This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado; + but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it. + +JH/04 Bug 1810: make continued-use of an open smtp transport connection + non-noisy when a race steals the message being considered. + +JH/05 If main configuration option tls_certificate is unset, generate a + self-signed certificate for inbound TLS connections. + +JH/06 Bug 165: hide more cases of password exposure - this time in expansions + in rewrites and routers. + +JH/07 Retire gnutls_require_mac et.al. These were nonfunctional since 4.80 + and logged a warning sing 4.83; now they are a configuration file error. + +JH/08 Bug 1836: Fix crash in VRFY handling when handed an unqualified name + (lacking @domain). Apply the same qualification processing as RCPT. + +JH/09 Bug 1804: Avoid writing msglog files when in -bh or -bhc mode. + +JH/10 Support ${sha256:} applied to a string (as well as the previous + certificate). + +JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when + a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection. + This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough + connection after a verify cache hit. + Do not update it with the verify result either. + +JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and + when routing results in more than one destination address. + +JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim + signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability). Previously only + the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as + empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available + when the cutthrough connection is made). + +JH/14 Fix logging of errors under PIPELINING. Previously the log line giving + the relevant preceding SMTP command did not note the pipelining mode. + +JH/15 Fix counting of empty lines in $body_linecount and $message_linecount. + Previously they were not counted. + +JH/16 DANE: treat a TLSA lookup response having all non-TLSA RRs, the same + as one having no matching records. Previously we deferred the message + that needed the lookup. + +JH/17 Fakereject: previously logged as a norml message arrival "<="; now + distinguished as "(=". + +JH/18 Bug 1867: make the fail_defer_domains option on a dnslookup router work + for missing MX records. Previously it only worked for missing A records. + +JH/19 Bug 1850: support Radius libraries that return REJECT_RC. + +JH/20 Bug 1872: Ensure that acl_smtp_notquit is run when the connection drops + after the data-go-ahead and data-ack. Patch from Jason Betts. + +JH/21 Bug 1846: Send DMARC forensic reports for reject and quaratine results, + even for a "none" policy. Patch from Tony Meyer. + +JH/22 Fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. If a port was + specified by a router, it must also match for the delivery to be + compatible. + +JH/23 Bug 1874: fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. + When one of the recipients of a message was unsuitable for the connection + (has no matching addresses), we lost track of needing to mark it + deferred. As a result mail would be lost. + +JH/24 Bug 1832: Log EHLO response on getting conn-close response for HELO. + +JH/25 Decoding ACL controls is now done using a binary search; the source code + takes up less space and should be simpler to maintain. Merge the ACL + condition decode tables also, with similar effect. + +JH/26 Fix problem with one_time used on a redirect router which returned the + parent address unchanged. A retry would see the parent address marked as + delivered, so not attempt the (identical) child. As a result mail would + be lost. + +JH/27 Fix a possible security hole, wherein a process operating with the Exim + UID can gain a root shell. Credit to http://www.halfdog.net/ for + discovery and writeup. Ubuntu bug 1580454; no bug raised against Exim + itself :( + +JH/28 Enable {spool,log} filesystem space and inode checks as default. + Main config options check_{log,spool}_{inodes,space} are now + 100 inodes, 10MB unless set otherwise in the configuration. + +JH/29 Fix the connection_reject log selector to apply to the connect ACL. + Previously it only applied to the main-section connection policy + options. + +JH/30 Bug 1897: fix callouts connection fallback from TLS to cleartext. + +PP/01 Changed default Diffie-Hellman parameters to be Exim-specific, created + by me. Added RFC7919 DH primes as an alternative. + +PP/02 Unbreak build via pkg-config with new hash support when crypto headers + are not in the system include path. + +JH/31 Fix longstanding bug with aborted TLS server connection handling. Under + GnuTLS, when a session startup failed (eg because the client disconnected) + Exim did stdio operations after fclose. This was exposed by a recent + change which nulled out the file handle after the fclose. + +JH/32 Bug 1909: Fix OCSP proof verification for cases where the proof is + signed directly by the cert-signing cert, rather than an intermediate + OCSP-signing cert. This is the model used by LetsEncrypt. + +JH/33 Bug 1914: Ensure socket is nonblocking before draining after SMTP QUIT. + +HS/01 Fix leak in verify callout under GnuTLS, about 3MB per recipient on + an incoming connection. + +HS/02 Bug 1802: Do not half-close the connection after sending a request + to rspamd. + +HS/03 Use "auto" as the default EC curve parameter.
