Betreff: [Exim] Exim 4.24 (bug-fix release) is available
I have just put Exim release 4.24 on the primary ftp site:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.24.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.24.tar.bz2

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only changes in this release are bug fixes. Tom Kistner is on vacation at
the moment. As a result, there won't be a corresponding Exiscan release until
he gets back (at the end of the month, I think).

I myself am going to be away for a while in the latter half of October. I won't
be putting out any releases containing new features before then, though if
serious bugs are discovered, there may be bug-fix releases. Another reason for
a release now is that I'm about to get a new workstation, and it will take some
time to install an OS and move my development environment onto it.

The next planned release with feature updates is 4.30 with updated
documentation, that I'm hoping to have ready towards the end of November.
