Subject: [exim] Exim 4.50 released
I have just put Exim release 4.50 on the primary ftp site:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.50.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.50.tar.bz2

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release contains a lot of new features, including the merging of the
exiscan patch into the main source.

As usual, all changes are in the doc/ChangeLog. See also the README.UPDATING
file for changes that might impact on some installations. The manual has
been updated for this release, so doc/NewStuff is empty.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The primary ftp server is in Cambridge, England. There is a list of mirrors in:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/Mirrors

The distribution files are signed with Philip Hazel's GPG key; the signature
files are in the same directory. The MD5 hash codes for the distribution files
are:

The distribution contains an ASCII copy of the 4.50 manual and other documents.
Other formats of the documentation are also available:

The .bz2 versions of these tarbundles are also available.

The HTML documentation contains the FAQ and configuration samples. These are
also available separately in HTML or txt format from the ftp site:

The ChangeLog for this, and several previous releases, is included in the
distribution. Individual change log files are also available on the ftp site,
the current one being:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-4.50.gz

Documentation for new features that have not yet been included in the manual is
available in the NewStuff file in the distribution (there are none for this
release). Individual NewStuff files are also available on the ftp site, the
current one being:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/ChangeLogs/NewStuff-4.50

Enjoy.
