Assumpte: [exim-announce] Exim 4.68 Released
I have just put Exim release 4.68 on the primary ftp site:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.68.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.68.tar.bz2

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release contains a number of new features, as well as some bug fixes. The
documentation has been updated. The PostScript/PDF documentation has again been
made by a new process. Instead of using xmlto/fop (as was done up to 4.66),
PostScript is generated directly from the XML by a program called SDoP that I
have been quietly writing for the last couple of years. It is now publicly
released, and it can do a better (and 60 times faster) job on the Exim manual
than xmlto/fop. In particular, change bars are back, as are font changes in the
indexes, and there are fewer typographic inelegancies.

As usual, all changes are in the doc/ChangeLog file. See also the
README.UPDATING file for changes that might impact on some installations.
