+12. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
+ of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
+ sender verification.
+
+13. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
+ $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
+
+14. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
+
+15. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
+ connection timeout.
+
+16. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
+ was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
+
+17. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
+ the spool by the -Mrm option.
+
+18. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
+ information about exactly what failed.
+
+19. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
+
+20. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
+ handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
+ CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
+
+21. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
+ It is now set to "smtps".
+
+22. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
+ ignore_target_hosts.
+
+23. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
+ being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
+ matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
+ since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
+ "[x.x.x.x]".
+
+24. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
+ code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
+ modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
+
+25. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
+ SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
+ wake it up if nothing else does.
+
+26. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
+ for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
+ The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
+ end up negative.
+
+27. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
+ support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
+
+28. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
+
+29. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
+ subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
+ empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
+ because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
+ database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
+ lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
+ contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
+ address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
+
+30. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
+ host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
+ than one IP address.
+
+31. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
+ function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
+ is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
+ $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
+
+32. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
+ such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
+ encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
+ generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
+ have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
+ 1024 to 2048 bytes.
+
+33. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
+ condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
+ is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
+ cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
+
+34. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
+ there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
+ respected.
+
+35. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
+ canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
+ $sender_host_address.
+
+36. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
+ "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
+ that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
+ for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
+ per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
+ very small.
+
+37. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
+
+ (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
+ finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
+
+ (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
+ just the host names, not the priorities.
+
+ (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
+ looked up.
+
+ (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
+ multiple records are returned.
+
+38. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
+ a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
+ domain.
+
+39. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
+
+40. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
+ delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
+
+41. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
+ to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
+ of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
+
+42. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
+
+43. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
+
+44. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
+
+45. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
+ transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
+ < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
+ introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
+ because the tests only now provoked it.
+
+46. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
+ (this can affect the format of dates).
+
+47. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
+ which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
+ messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
+ deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
