The new format can also be generated +externally, so it is now possible to update the values from outside Exim. This +has been implemented in an upwards, BUT NOT downwards, compatible manner. +Upgrading should be seamless: when Exim finds that it cannot understand an +existing cache file, it generates new parameters and writes them to the cache +in the new format. If, however, you downgrade from 4.51 to a previous release, +you MUST delete the gnutls-params file in the spool directory, because the +older Exim will not recognize the new format. + + +Version 4.50 +------------ + +The exicyclog script has been updated to use three-digit numbers in rotated log +files if the maximum number to keep is greater than 99. If you are already +keeping more than 99, there will be an incompatible change when you upgrade. +You will probably want to rename your old log files to the new form before +running the new exicyclog. + + Version 4.42 ------------
