Up to version 4.69, Exim came with an embedded version of the PCRE library. +As of 4.70, this is no longer the case. To compile Exim, you will need PCRE +installed.

The internal implementation of the database keys that are used for ACL +ratelimiting has been tidied up.

A bug has been fixed that might just possibly be something that is relied on +in some configurations. In expansion items such as ${if >{xxx}{yyy}...} an +empty string (that is {}) was being interpreted as if it was {0} and therefore +treated as the number zero. From release 4.64, such strings cause an error +because a decimal number, possibly followed by K or M, is required (as has +always been documented). + +3. There has been a change to the GnuTLS support (ChangeLog/PH/20) to improve +Exim's performance. Unfortunately, this has the side effect of being slightly +non-upwards compatible for versions 4.50 and earlier. If you are upgrading from +one of these earlier versions and you use GnuTLS, you must remove the file +called gnutls-params in Exim's spool directory. If you don't do this, you will +see this error: + + TLS error on connection from ...
