Exim release 4.69 is now available from the primary ftp site:
ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.69.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.69.tar.bz2
The release has actually been available since 20 Dec 2007, however
logistical problems prevented a formal announcement until now. The
released files and their signatures have not changed since the initial
distribution.
========================================================================
This release is a pure bug fix release (although there is also
preliminary DKIM support available if compiled with appropriate flags).
The documentation has been updated and regenerated.
The major change is an update to the embedded PCRE library in response
to security issues discovered within that library. We believe that these
security issues will be extremely difficult to exploit. Most (if not
all) distributions shipping exim already use their system PCRE library
rather than the Exim embedded version and so will be immune to these
issues (as long as their system libraries have been updated), and with
the next Exim release we intend to drop the embedded library forcing
everyone to use a system or their own maintained PCRE library.
As usual, all changes are in the doc/ChangeLog file.
