Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.68
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
+ in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
+ dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
+ contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
+ in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
+ (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
+ keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
+ for iplsearch lookups.
+
+ This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
+ colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
+ previously such lookups could never work.
+
+ The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
+ ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
+ incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
+
+TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft
+ version.
+
+MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
+ conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
+ a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
+ right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
+ attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
+ exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla 502: Apply patch to make the SPF-Received: header use
+ $primary_hostname instead of what libspf2 thinks the hosts name is.
+
+MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
+ a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
+ symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
+ Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
+ symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
+ exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)
+
+PH/03 The body_linecount and body_zerocount variables are now exported in the
+ local_scan API.
+
+PH/04 Added the $dnslist_matched variable.
+
+
Exim version 4.67
-----------------
PH/18 Flush SMTP output before performing a callout, unless control =
no_callout_flush is set.
+PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender
+ was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry
+ item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now
+ fixed.
+
+PH/20 Added hosts_avoid_pipelining to the smtp transport.
+
+PH/21 Long custom messages for fakedefer and fakereject are now split up
+ into multiline reponses in the same way that messages for "deny" and
+ other ACL rejections are.
+
+PH/22 Applied Jori Hamalainen's speed-up changes and typo fixes to exigrep,
+ with slight modification.
+
+PH/23 Applied sieve patches from the maintainer "tracking the latest notify
+ draft, changing the syntax and factoring some duplicate code".
+
+PH/24 When the log selector "outgoing_port" was set, the port was shown as -1
+ for deliveries of the second and subsequent messages over the same SMTP
+ connection.
+
+PH/25 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch for ${addresses, ${map, ${filter, and
+ ${reduce, with only minor "tidies".
+
+SC/02 Applied Daniel Tiefnig's patch to improve the '($parent) =' pattern match.
+
+PH/26 Added a "continue" ACL modifier that does nothing, for the benefit of its
+ expansion side effects.
+
+PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed
+ quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not
+ being given when it was a system quota that was exceeded. It now should
+ be the same.
+
+MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has
+ better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but
+ $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings.
+
+PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct
+ in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the
+ address, for example: MAIL FROM:<foo@bar> SIZE=1234. The option settings
+ were accidentally chopped off.
+
+PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
+ there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
+ any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
+ some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
+ arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
+ HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
+ pipelining has not been advertised.
+
+PH/30 MH's patch to allow iscntrl() characters to be list separators.
+
+PH/31 Unlike :fail:, a custom message specified with :defer: was not being
+ returned in the SMTP response when smtp_return_error_details was false.
+ This has been fixed.
+
+PH/32 Change the Dovecot authenticator to use read() and write() on the socket
+ instead of the C I/O that was originally supplied, because problems were
+ reported on Solaris.
+
+PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
+ Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
+ SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
+ no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
+ was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
+ changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
+ error. Exim's code has been fixed.
+
+PH/34 Change HDA_SIZE in oracle.c from 256 to 512. This is needed for 64-bit
+ cpus.
+
+PH/35 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which fixes a bug in "notify".
+
+PH/36 Applied John Jetmore's patch to add -v functionality to exigrep.
+
+PH/37 If a message is not accepted after it has had an id assigned (e.g.
+ because it turns out to be too big or there is a timeout) there is no
+ "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were
+ selected by exigrep, they were listed as "not completed". Others were
+ picked up by some special patterns. I have improved the selection
+ criteria to be more general.
+
+PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set
+ to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot be
+ found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new
+ host_all_ignored option.
+
+PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi-
+ homing or because of multiple MX records with /mx) generated more than
+ one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host,
+ all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed
+ from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which
+ is what is supposed to happen).
+
+PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
+ whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
+ behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
+ started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
+ calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
+ uses the Exim user.
+
+PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a
+ message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad
+ sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
+ with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
+ RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
+ intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
+ users.
+
+PH/42 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+SC/02 Eximstats - Differentiate between permanent and temporary rejects.
+ Eximstats - Fixed some broken HTML links and added missing column headers
+ (Jez Hancock).
+ Eximstats - Fixed Grand Total Summary Domains, Edomains, and Email
+ columns for Rejects, Temp Rejects, Ham, and Spam rows.
+
+SC/03 Eximstats - V1.58 Fix to get <> and blackhole to show in edomain tables.
+
+PH/43 Yet another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending
+ the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
+ case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
+ (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
+ any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
+ to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
+ either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
+ the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
+ would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.
+ This could lead to message repetition. This fix should cure that, at
+ least in a lot of common cases.
+
+PH/45 Do not advertise STARTTLS in response to HELP unless it would be
+ advertised in response to EHLO.
