The doc/ChangeLog file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes. +Version 4.61 +------------ + +PH/01 There is a new global option called disable_ipv6, which does exactly what + its name implies. If set true, even if the Exim binary has IPv6 support, + no IPv6 activities take place. AAAA records are never looked up for host + names given in manual routing data or elsewhere. AAAA records that are + received from the DNS as additional data for MX records are ignored. Any + IPv6 addresses that are listed in local_interfaces, manualroute route + data, etc. are also ignored. If IP literals are enabled, the ipliteral + router declines to handle IPv6 literal addresses. + +PH/02 There are now 20 of each type of ACL variable by default (instead of 10). + It is also possible to change the numbers by setting ACL_CVARS and/or + ACL_MVARS in Local/Makefile. Backward compatibility is maintained if you + upgrade to this release with existing messages containing ACL variable + settings on the queue. However, going in the other direction + (downgrading) will not be compatible; the values of ACL variables will be + lost. + +PH/03 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from + adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the + errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used. + +PH/04 The variables $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 are now available in authenticators, + containing the same values as $1, $2, $3. The new variables are provided + because the numerical variables can be reset during string expansions + (for example, during a "match" operation) and so may lose the + authentication data. The preferred variables are now the new ones, with + the use of the numerical ones being deprecated, though the support will + not be removed, at least, not for a long time. + + Version 4.60 ------------
