+Exim version 4.92
+-----------------
+
+JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
+      definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
+
+JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
+      non-signal-safe functions being used.
+
+JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
+      number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
+      a resource-consumption attack.  The limit is set at twenty.
+
+JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify.  Fix the
+      report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
+      some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
+
+JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
+      files in the spool were present and unlocked.  A queue-runner could spot
+      them, resulting in a duplicate delivery.  Fix that by doing the unlock
+      after the unlink.  Investigation by Tim Stewart.  Take the opportunity to
+      add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
+      messed with.
+
+PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
+      No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
+
+JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
+      a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
+      Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
+      Found and investigated by Tim Stewart.  Fix by using the open message data
+      file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
+      releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
+      file for the MIME ACL.  Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
+
+JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
+      $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
+
+JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
+      legitimate.
+
+JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
+      Previously this would segfault.
+
+JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed.  Previously this would
+      segfault.
+
+JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
+      like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
+      as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
+      that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
+      "error, loop".  A new main option is added so the older capability of
+      following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
+
+JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
+
+JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
+      methods.  These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
+      now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
+      1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
+
+JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
+
+JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management.  Stop using a global, and
+      explicitly pass a context around.  This enables future use of TLS for
+      connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
+      connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
+
+JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
+
+JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
+
+JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
+      using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
+      Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
+
+JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
+      Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
+      forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
+
+PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
+
+JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection.  Previously only
+      one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
+      time.  Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
+      Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
+
+PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
+      Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
+      promised '?' replacement.
+
+PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
+
+JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
+      should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
+      therefore performance.  Group the declarations where this can't be done so
+      that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
+      variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
+
+JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
+      non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV.  Previously reports were
+      sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
+
+JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters.  It wasn't working.
+      The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
+      was not set for later routers.  Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
+
+JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
+      and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
+      -Mrm.  Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
+
+JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access.  This required using
+      a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
+      hope that is portable enough.
+
+JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS.  Previously it was also
+      requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
+      TLSA as an anchor.  Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
+      on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
+
+JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address.  Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
+      included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
+      SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
+
+JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
+      Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH.  While in that bit of code,
+      move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
+      failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
+
+JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
+      msg:fail:internal event.  Developement by Matthias Kurz.

+GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
+      When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
+      in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
+      case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
+      next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
+      be defined in redis_servers.

       input.
 

+JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
+      While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
+      variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL.  Also (at any time)
+      DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool.  But
+      expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
+      lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
+      DNS negative-cache, and bad things result.  Solution is to switch to the
+      Main pool for expansions.
+      While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
+      active in the testsuite.
+      Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
+      When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
+      connection, close it and proceed with the list.  Previously we would
+      queue the message.  Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
+      round-robin DNS.
+
+JH/07 Bug 2214: Fix SMTP responses resulting from non-accept result of MIME ACL.
+      Previously a spurious "250 OK id=" response was appended to the proper
+      failure response.
+
+JH/08 The "support for" informational output now, which built with Content
+      Scanning support, has a line for the malware scanner interfaces compiled
+      in.  Interface can be individually included or not at build time.
+
+JH/09 The "aveserver", "kavdaemon" and "mksd" interfaces are now not included
+      by the template makefile "src/EDITME".  The "STREAM" support for an older
+      ClamAV interface method is removed.
+
+JH/10 Bug 2223: Fix mysql lookup returns for the no-data case (when the number of
+      rows affected is given instead).
+
+JH/11 The runtime Berkeley DB library version is now additionally output by
+      "exim -d -bV".  Previously only the compile-time version was shown.
+
+JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
+      SMTP connection.  Previously, when one had more receipients than the
+      first, an abortive onward connection was made.  Move to full support for
+      multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
+      for all multi-message initiating connections.
+
+JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
+      routers.  Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
+      onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
+
+JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
+      a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
+      initiating connection being dropped.  This mattered most when the callout
+      was marked defer_ok.  Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
+      separate.
+
+JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in
+      unsupported situations, from error to silently (except under debug)
+      ignoring.  This covers use with PRDR, frozen messages, queue-only and
+      fake-reject.
+
+HS/01 Fix Buffer overflow in base64d() (CVE-2018-6789)
+
+JH/16 Fix bug in DKIM verify: a buffer overflow could corrupt the malloc
+      metadata, resulting in a crash in free().
+
+PP/01 Fix broken Heimdal GSSAPI authenticator integration.
+      Broken in f2ed27cf5, missing an equals sign for specified-initialisers.
+      Broken also in d185889f4, with init system revamp.
+
+JH/17 Bug 2113: Fix conversation closedown with the Avast malware scanner.
+      Previously we abruptly closed the connection after reading a malware-
+      found indication; now we go on to read the "scan ok" response line,
+      and send a quit.
+
+JH/18 Bug 2239: Enforce non-usability of control=utf8_downconvert in the mail
+      ACL.  Previously, a crash would result.
+
+JH/19 Speed up macro lookups during configuration file read, by skipping non-
+      macro text after a replacement (previously it was only once per line) and
+      by skipping builtin macros when searching for an uppercase lead character.
+
+JH/20 DANE support moved from Experimental to mainline.  The Makefile control
+      for the build is renamed.
+
+JH/21 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS.  A buffer
+      was allocated for every new TLS startup, meaning one per message.  Fix
+      by only allocating once (OpenSSL) or freeing on TLS-close (GnuTLS).
+
+JH/22 Bug 2236: When a DKIM verification result is overridden by ACL, DMARC
+      reported the original.  Fix to report (as far as possible) the ACL
+      result replacing the original.
+
+JH/23 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS under
+      OpenSSL.  Certificate information is loaded for every new TLS startup,
+      and the resources needed to be freed.
+
+JH/24 Bug 2242: Fix exim_dbmbuild to permit directoryless filenames.
+
+JH/25 Fix utf8_downconvert propagation through a redirect router.  Previously it
+      was not propagated.
+
+JH/26 Bug 2253: For logging delivery lines under PRDR, append the overall
+      DATA response info to the (existing) per-recipient response info for
+      the "C=" log element.  It can have useful tracking info from the
+      destination system.  Patch from Simon Arlott.
+
+JH/27 Bug 2251: Fix ldap lookups that return a single attribute having zero-
+      length value.  Previously this would segfault.
+
+HS/02 Support Avast multiline protoocol, this allows passing flags to
+      newer versions of the scanner.
+
+JH/28 Ensure that variables possibly set during message acceptance are marked
+      dead before release of memory in the daemon loop.  This stops complaints
+      about them when the debug_store option is enabled.  Discovered specifically
+      for sender_rate_period, but applies to a whole set of variables.
+      Do the same for the queue-runner and queue-list loops, for variables set
+      from spool message files.  Do the same for the SMTP per-message loop, for
+      certain variables indirectly set in ACL operations.
+
+JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
+      as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager).  The coding had
+      an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
+      enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer.  This corrupted long / fast
+      input.   The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
+      responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
+      The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
+      receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
+      (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).
+      Discovered and pinpointed by David Carter.
+
+JH/30 The (EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC) variable $dmarc_ar_header is withdrawn, being
+      replaced by the ${authresults } expansion.
+
+JH/31 Bug 2257: Fix pipe transport to not use a socket-only syscall.
+
+HS/03 Set a handler for SIGTERM and call exit(3) if running as PID 1. This
+      allows proper process termination in container environments.
+
+JH/32 Bug 2258: Fix spool_wireformat in combination with LMTP transport.
+      Previously the "final dot" had a newline after it; ensure it is CR,LF.
+
+JH/33 SPF: remove support for the "spf" ACL condition outcome values "err_temp"
+      and "err_perm", deprecated since 4.83 when the RFC-defined words
+      "temperror" and "permerror" were introduced.
+
+JH/34 Re-introduce enforcement of no cutthrough delivery on transports having
+      transport-filters or DKIM-signing.  The restriction was lost in the
+      consolidation of verify-callout and delivery SMTP handling.
+      Extend the restriction to also cover ARC-signing.
+
+JH/35 Cutthrough: for a final-dot response timeout (and nonunderstood responses)
+      in defer=pass mode supply a 450 to the initiator.  Previously the message
+      would be spooled.
+
+PP/02 DANE: add dane_require_tls_ciphers SMTP Transport option; if unset,
+      tls_require_ciphers is used as before.
+
+HS/03 Malware Avast: Better match the Avast multiline protocol. Add
+      "pass_unscanned".  Only tmpfails from the scanner are written to
+      the paniclog, as they may require admin intervention (permission
+      denied, license issues). Other scanner errors (like decompression
+      bombs) do not cause a paniclog entry.
+
+JH/36 Fix reinitialisation of DKIM logging variable between messages.
+      Previously it was possible to log spurious information in receive log
+      lines.
+
+JH/37 Bug 2255: Revert the disable of the OpenSSL session caching.  This
+      triggered odd behaviour from Outlook Express clients.
+
+PP/03 Add util/renew-opendmarc-tlds.sh script for safe renewal of public
+      suffix list.
+
+JH/38 DKIM: accept Ed25519 pubkeys in SubjectPublicKeyInfo-wrapped form,
+      since the IETF WG has not yet settled on that versus the original
+      "bare" representation.
+
+JH/39 Fix syslog logging for syslog_timestamp=no and log_selector +millisec.
+      Previously the millisecond value corrupted the output.
+      Fix also for syslog_pid=no and log_selector +pid, for which the pid
+      corrupted the output.
