Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.77
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 Solaris build fix for Oracle's LDAP libraries.
+ Bugzilla 1109, patch from Stephen Usher.
+
+TF/01 HP/UX build fix: avoid arithmetic on a void pointer.
+
+TK/01 DKIM Verification: Fix relaxed canon for empty headers w/o
+ whitespace trailer
+
+TF/02 Fix a couple more cases where we did not log the error message
+ when unlink() failed. See also change 4.74-TF/03.
+
+TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
+ lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
+ got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
+
+ The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
+ log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
+ purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
+ not safe for signals.
+
+ The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
+ log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
+ Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
+ Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
+ exiwhat.
+
+TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
+
+ The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
+ has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
+ are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
+ database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
+ means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
+
+ Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
+ makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
+ message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
+ per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
+ must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
+ /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
+
+ The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
+ backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
+ ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
+ /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
+
+ A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
+ of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
+ aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
+ to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
+
+ The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
+ (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
+ used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
+ measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
+ or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
+ /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
+ Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
+ one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
+ and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
+
+ The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
+ is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
+ after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
+ count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
+
+ The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
+ events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
+ recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
+ behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
+ duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
+ the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
+ is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
+ example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
+ with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
+ details in the main documentation.
+
+TF/05 Removed obsolete $Cambridge$ CVS revision strings.
+
+TF/06 Removed a few PCRE remnants.
+
+TF/07 Automatically extract Exim's version number from tags in the git
+ repository when doing development or release builds.
+
+PP/02 Raise smtp_cmd_buffer_size to 16kB.
+ Bugzilla 879. Patch from Paul Fisher.
+
+PP/03 Implement SSL-on-connect outbound with protocol=smtps on smtp transport.
+ Heavily based on revision 40f9a89a from Simon Arlott's tree.
+ Bugzilla 97.
+
+PP/04 Use .dylib instead of .so for dynamic library loading on MacOS.
+
+PP/05 Variable $av_failed, true if the AV scanner deferred.
+ Bugzilla 1078. Patch from John Horne.
+
+PP/06 Stop make process more reliably on build failure.
+ Bugzilla 1087. Patch from Heiko Schlittermann.
+
+PP/07 Make maildir_use_size_file an _expandable_ boolean.
+ Bugzilla 1089. Patch Heiko Schlittermann.
+
+
+Exim version 4.76
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 The new ldap_require_cert option would segfault if used. Fixed.
+
+PP/02 Harmonised TLS library version reporting; only show if debugging.
+ Layout now matches that introduced for other libraries in 4.74 PP/03.
+
+PP/03 New openssl_options items: no_sslv2 no_sslv3 no_ticket no_tlsv1
+
+PP/04 New "dns_use_edns0" global option.
+
+PP/05 Don't segfault on misconfiguration of ref:name exim-user as uid.
+ Bugzilla 1098.
+
+PP/06 Extra paranoia around buffer usage at the STARTTLS transition.
+ nb: Exim is not vulnerable to http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/555316
+
+TK/01 Updated PolarSSL code to 0.14.2.
+ Bugzilla 1097. Patch from Andreas Metzler.
+
+PP/07 Catch divide-by-zero in ${eval:...}.
+ Fixes bugzilla 1102.
+
+PP/08 Condition negation of bool{}/bool_lax{} did not negate. Fixed.
+ Bugzilla 1104.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla 1106: CVE-2011-1764 - DKIM log line was subject to a
+ format-string attack -- SECURITY: remote arbitrary code execution.
+
+TK/03 SECURITY - DKIM signature header parsing was double-expanded, second
+ time unintentionally subject to list matching rules, letting the header
+ cause arbitrary Exim lookups (of items which can occur in lists, *not*
+ arbitrary string expansion). This allowed for information disclosure.
+
+PP/09 Fix another SIGFPE (x86) in ${eval:...} expansion, this time related to
+ INT_MIN/-1 -- value coerced to INT_MAX.
+

+ version.h, now support a version extension string for distributors
+ who patch heavily. Dynamic module ABI change.
+
+PP/04 CVE-2011-0017 - check return value of setuid/setgid. This is a

+ on the basis that it would fail; for the Exim run-time user, this is not
+ the case, and it resulted in successful deliveries going unlogged.
+ Fixed. Reported by Andreas Metzler.
+
+
Exim version 4.73
-----------------
of CONFIGURE_OWNER and CONFIGURE_GROUP options to no longer allow a
configuration file which is writeable by the Exim user or group.
+DW/23 Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part two: extend checks for writeability
+ of configuration files to cover files specified with the -C option if
+ they are going to be used with root privileges, not just the default
+ configuration file.
+
+DW/24 Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part three: remove ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY
+ option (effectively making it always true).
+
+DW/25 Add TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE option to allow alternative configuration
+ files to be used while preserving root privileges.
+
+DW/26 Set FD_CLOEXEC on SMTP sockets after forking in the daemon, to ensure
+ that rogue child processes cannot use them.
+
+PP/27 Bugzilla 1047: change the default for system_filter_user to be the Exim
+ run-time user, instead of root.
+
+PP/28 Add WHITELIST_D_MACROS option to let some macros be overridden by the
+ Exim run-time user without dropping privileges.
+
+DW/29 Remove use of va_copy() which breaks pre-C99 systems. Duplicate the
+ result string, instead of calling string_vformat() twice with the same
+ arguments.
+
+DW/30 Allow TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE only for Exim or CONFIGURE_OWNER, not
+ for other users. Others should always drop root privileges if they use
+ -C on the command line, even for a whitelisted configure file.
+
+DW/31 Turn TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE into TRUSTED_CONFIG_FILE. No prefixes.
+
+NM/01 Fixed bug #1002 - Message loss when using multiple deliveries
+
