-Version 4.81
+Version 4.83
+------------
+
+ 1. If built with the EXPERIMENTAL_PROXY feature enabled, Exim can be
+ configured to expect an initial header from a proxy that will make the
+ actual external source IP:host be used in exim instead of the IP of the
+ proxy that is connecting to it.
+
+ 2. New verify option header_names_ascii, which will check to make sure
+ there are no non-ASCII characters in header names. Exim itself handles
+ those non-ASCII characters, but downstream apps may not, so Exim can
+ detect and reject if those characters are present.
+
+
+Version 4.82
------------
1. New command-line option -bI:sieve will list all supported sieve extensions
Unless you really know what you are doing, leave it alone.
4. If not built with DISABLE_DNSSEC, Exim now has the main option
- dns_use_dnssec; if set to 1 then Exim will initialise the resolver library
+ dns_dnssec_ok; if set to 1 then Exim will initialise the resolver library
to send the DO flag to your recursive resolver. If you have a recursive
resolver, which can set the Authenticated Data (AD) flag in results, Exim
- can now detect this.
+ can now detect this. Exim does not perform validation itself, instead
+ relying upon a trusted path to the resolver.
Current status: work-in-progress; $sender_host_dnssec variable added.
for specific access to the information for each connection. The old names
are present for now but deprecated.
- Not yet supported: IGNOREQUOTA, SIZE, PIPELINING, AUTH.
+ Not yet supported: IGNOREQUOTA, SIZE, PIPELINING.
8. New expansion operators ${listnamed:name} to get the content of a named list
and ${listcount:string} to count the items in a list.
- 9. New global option "gnutls_enable_pkcs11", defaults false. The GnuTLS
+ 9. New global option "gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11", defaults false. The GnuTLS
rewrite in 4.80 combines with GnuTLS 2.12.0 or later, to autoload PKCS11
modules. For some situations this is desirable, but we expect admin in
those situations to know they want the feature. More commonly, it means
through, thus breakage. So we explicitly inhibit the PKCS11 initialisation
unless this new option is set.
+ Some older OS's with earlier versions of GnuTLS might not have pkcs11 ability,
+ so have also added a build option which can be used to build Exim with GnuTLS
+ but without trying to use any kind of PKCS11 support. Uncomment this in the
+ Local/Makefile:
+
+ AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes
+
10. The "acl = name" condition on an ACL now supports optional arguments.
New expansion item "${acl {name}{arg}...}" and expansion condition
"acl {{name}{arg}...}" are added. In all cases up to nine arguments
13. New dnsdb lookup pseudo-type "a+". A sequence of "a6" (if configured),
"aaaa" and "a" lookups is done and the full set of results returned.
+14. New expansion variable $headers_added with content from ACL add_header
+ modifier (but not yet added to messsage).
+
+15. New 8bitmime status logging option for received messages. Log field "M8S".
+
+16. New authenticated_sender logging option, adding to log field "A".
+
+17. New expansion variables $router_name and $transport_name. Useful
+ particularly for debug_print as -bt commandline option does not
+ require privilege whereas -d does.
+
+18. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR, per-recipient data responses per a
+ proposed extension to SMTP from Eric Hall.
+
+19. The pipe transport has gained the force_command option, to allow
+ decorating commands from user .forward pipe aliases with prefix
+ wrappers, for instance.
+
+20. Callout connections can now AUTH; the same controls as normal delivery
+ connections apply.
+
+21. Support for DMARC, using opendmarc libs, can be enabled. It adds new
+ options: dmarc_forensic_sender, dmarc_history_file, and dmarc_tld_file.
+ It adds new expansion variables $dmarc_ar_header, $dmarc_status,
+ $dmarc_status_text, and $dmarc_used_domain. It adds a new acl modifier
+ dmarc_status. It adds new control flags dmarc_disable_verify and
+ dmarc_enable_forensic.
+
+22. Add expansion variable $authenticated_fail_id, which is the username
+ provided to the authentication method which failed. It is available
+ for use in subsequent ACL processing (typically quit or notquit ACLs).
+
+23. New ACL modifer "udpsend" can construct a UDP packet to send to a given
+ UDP host and port.
+
+24. New ${hexquote:..string..} expansion operator converts non-printable
+ characters in the string to \xNN form.
+
+25. Experimental TPDA (Transport Post Delivery Action) function added.
+ Patch provided by Axel Rau.
+
+26. Experimental Redis lookup added. Patch provided by Warren Baker.

Version 4.80
------------
gnutls_require_mac & gnutls_require_protocols are no longer supported.
tls_require_ciphers is now parsed by gnutls_priority_init(3) as a priority
string, documentation for which is at:
- http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html
+ http://www.gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html
SNI support has been added to Exim's GnuTLS integration too.
