I have just put Exim release 4.54 on the primary ftp site:
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.54.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.54.tar.bz2
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release contains a small number of fixes.
As usual, all changes are in the doc/ChangeLog. See also the README.UPDATING
file for changes that might impact on some installations. The number of changes
is so small that it is possible to quote the ChangeLog in full here:
PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was
set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not.
It now does.
PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on
the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c.
PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile.
PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-"
header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929.
Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as
non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated
anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.)
TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax
errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option
now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters
but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain
or /domain=).
PH/05 Some modifications to the interface to the fake nameserver for the new
testing suite.
PLEASE NOTE change TF/01 if you are using the /name= option of "control =
submission". Make sure your configuration has it last.
The manual has NOT been updated for this release. However, the versions of
spec.txt and filter.txt and the exim.8 man page that are included in the doc
directory have been generated via the new mechanism that uses DocBook XML as an
intermediate standard format. The contents of these files should be unchanged
from 4.50, but the layout and formatting is different. Please report any typos
or formatting problems.
