The doc/ChangeLog file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes. - -Version 4.51 +Version 4.61 ------------ -PH/01. The format in which GnuTLS parameters are written to the gnutls-param - file in the spool directory has been changed. This change has been made - to alleviate problems that some people had with the generation of the - parameters by Exim when /dev/random was exhausted. In this situation, - Exim would hang until /dev/random acquired some more entropy. +The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.61 release. Major new features since +the 4.60 release are: + +. An option called disable_ipv6, to disable the use of IPv6 completely. + +. An increase in the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type. + +. A change to use $auth1, $auth2, and $auth3 in authenticators instead of $1, + $2, $3, (though those are still set) because the numeric variables get used + for other things in complicated expansions. - The new code exports and imports the DH and RSA parameters in PEM - format. This means that the parameters can be generated externally using - the certtool command that is part of GnuTLS. +. The default for rfc1413_query_timeout has been changed from 30s to 5s. - To replace the parameters with new ones, instead of deleting the file - and letting Exim re-create it, you can generate new parameters using - certtool and, when this has been done, replace Exim's cache file by - renaming. The relevant commands are something like this: +. It is possible to use setclassresources() on some BSD OS to control the + resources used in pipe deliveries. - # rm -f new.params - # touch new.params - # chown exim:exim new.params - # chmod 0400 new.params - # certtool --generate-privkey --bits 512 >new.params - # echo "" >>new.params - # certtool --generate-dh-params --bits 1024 >> new.params - # mv new.params params +. A new ACL modifier called add_header, which can be used with any verb. - If Exim never has to generate the parameters itself, the possibility of - stalling is removed. +. More errors are detectable in retry rules. +There are a number of other additions too. -Version 4.50 + +Version 4.60 ------------ -The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.50 release. +The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.60 release. Major new features since +the 4.50 release are: + +. Support for SQLite. + +. Support for IGNOREQUOTA in LMTP. + +. Extensions to the "submission mode" features. + +. Support for Client SMTP Authorization (CSA). + +. Support for ratelimiting hosts and users. + +. New expansion items to help with the BATV "prvs" scheme. + +. A "match_ip" condition, that matches an IP address against a list. + +There are many more minor changes. ****
