New authenticator driver, "heimdal_gssapi". Server-only. + A replacement for using cyrus_sasl with Heimdal, now that $KRB5_KTNAME + is no longer honoured for setuid programs by Heimdal. Use the + "server_keytab" option to point to the keytab. + + 3. The "pkg-config" system can now be used when building Exim to reference + cflags and library information for lookups and authenticators, rather + than having to update "CFLAGS", "AUTH_LIBS", "LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and + "LOOKUP_LIBS" directly.

New options for the ratelimit ACL condition: /count= and /unique=. + The /noupdate option has been replaced by a /readonly option. + + 2. The SMTP transport's protocol option may now be set to "smtps", to + use SSL-on-connect outbound. + + 3.
