@@ -206,6 +207,86 @@ PH/34 Change 4.50/80 broke Exim in that it could no longer handle cases where
       the uid or gid is negative. A case of a negative gid caused this to be
       noticed. The fix allows for either to be negative.
 
+PH/35 ACL_WHERE_MIME is now declared unconditionally, to avoid too much code
+      clutter, but the tables that are indexed by ACL_WHERE_xxx values had been
+      overlooked.
+
+PH/36 The change PH/12 above was broken. Fixed it.
+
+PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
+      the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
+      same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
+      longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
+      routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
+      went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
+      behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
+
+      I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
+      Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
+      transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
+      done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
+      presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
+
+      For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
+      still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
+      routed further.
+
+PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
+      It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
+      background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
+      connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
+      spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
+      blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."
+
+PH/39 Allow G after quota size as well as K and M.
+
+PH/40 The value set for $authenticated_id in an authenticator may not contain
+      binary zeroes or newlines because the value is written to log lines and
+      to spool files. There was no check on this. Now the value is run through
+      the string_printing() function so that such characters are converted to
+      printable escape sequences.
+
+PH/41 $message_linecount is a new variable that contains the total number of
+      lines in the message. Compare $body_linecount, which is the count for the
+      body only.
+
+PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
+      bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
+      are as follows:
+
+      (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
+      (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
+      (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
+      (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
+      (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
+
+      In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
+      warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
+      as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.
+
+PH/43 $value is now also set for the "else" part of a ${run expansion.
+
+PH/44 Applied patch from the Sieve maintainer: "The vacation draft is still
+      being worked on, but at least Exim now implements the latest version to
+      play with."
+
+PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
+      process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
+      writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
+      successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
+      consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
+      treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
+      there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
+      timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
+      both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
+      the log output.
+
+PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On
+      systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top
+      level broke things. I've arranged for the value of $(MAKE) to be passed
+      from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of
+      "make".
