It contains a lot of +changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was +needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially +in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes +that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance +release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start +from 4.43. + +I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since +4.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to +those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the +historical information. + + +Exim version 4.50 ----------------- 1.
