The doc/ChangeLog file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes. +Version 4.61 +------------ -Version 4.51 +PH/01 There is a new global option called disable_ipv6, which does exactly what + its name implies. If set true, even if the Exim binary has IPv6 support, + no IPv6 activities take place. AAAA records are never looked up for host + names given in manual routing data or elsewhere. AAAA records that are + received from the DNS as additional data for MX records are ignored. Any + IPv6 addresses that are listed in local_interfaces, manualroute route + data, etc. are also ignored. If IP literals are enabled, the ipliteral + router declines to handle IPv6 literal addresses. + +PH/01 There are now 20 of each type of ACL variable by default (instead of 10). + It is also possible to change the numbers by setting ACL_CVARS and/or + ACL_MVARS in Local/Makefile. Backward compatibility is maintained if you + upgrade to this release with existing messages containing ACL variable + settings on the queue. However, going in the other direction + (downgrading) will not be compatible; the values of ACL variables will be + lost. + + +Version 4.60 ------------ -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 4.60 release. Major new features since +the 4.50 release are: - 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. +. Support for SQLite. - 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: +. Support for IGNOREQUOTA in LMTP. - # 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 +. Extensions to the "submission mode" features. - If Exim never has to generate the parameters itself, the possibility of - stalling is removed. +. Support for Client SMTP Authorization (CSA). +. Support for ratelimiting hosts and users. -Version 4.50 ------------- +. New expansion items to help with the BATV "prvs" scheme. + +. A "match_ip" condition, that matches an IP address against a list. -The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.50 release. +There are many more minor changes. ****
