Exim version 4.88
-----------------
non-noisy when a race steals the message being considered.

+ self-signed certificate for inbound TLS connections.
JH/06 Bug 165: hide more cases of password exposure - this time in expansions
in rewrites and routers.
JH/24 Bug 1832: Log EHLO response on getting conn-close response for HELO.

delivered, so not attempt the (identical) child. As a result mail would
be lost.
+JH/27 Fix a possible security hole, wherein a process operating with the Exim
+ UID can gain a root shell. Credit to http://www.halfdog.net/ for
+ discovery and writeup. Ubuntu bug 1580454; no bug raised against Exim
+ itself :(
+
+JH/28 Enable {spool,log} filesystem space and inode checks as default.
+ Main config options check_{log,spool}_{inodes,space} are now
+ 100 inodes, 10MB unless set otherwise in the configuration.
+
+JH/29 Fix the connection_reject log selector to apply to the connect ACL.
+ Previously it only applied to the main-section connection policy
+ options.
+
+JH/30 Bug 1897: fix callouts connection fallback from TLS to cleartext.
+
+PP/01 Changed default Diffie-Hellman parameters to be Exim-specific, created
+ by me. Added RFC7919 DH primes as an alternative.
+
+PP/02 Unbreak build via pkg-config with new hash support when crypto headers
+ are not in the system include path.
+
+JH/31 Fix longstanding bug with aborted TLS server connection handling. Under
+ GnuTLS, when a session startup failed (eg because the client disconnected)
+ Exim did stdio operations after fclose. This was exposed by a recent
+ change which nulled out the file handle after the fclose.
+
+JH/32 Bug 1909: Fix OCSP proof verification for cases where the proof is
+ signed directly by the cert-signing cert, rather than an intermediate
+ OCSP-signing cert. This is the model used by LetsEncrypt.
+
+JH/33 Bug 1914: Ensure socket is nonblocking before draining after SMTP QUIT.
+
+HS/01 Fix leak in verify callout under GnuTLS, about 3MB per recipient on
+ an incoming connection.
+
+HS/02 Bug 1802: Do not half-close the connection after sending a request
+ to rspamd.
+
+HS/03 Use "auto" as the default EC curve parameter. For OpenSSL < 1.0.2
+ fallback to "prime256v1".
Exim version 4.87
