Subject: [exim] Exim 4.89 RC7
I have uploaded Exim 4.89 RC7 to:

    https://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test/


Over RC6, this fixes a few different crash bugs and fixes ${extract }
corrupting an enclosing ${reduce } $value.

Please note that we are seeing OpenSSL issues which require 1.0.2
minimum build up in our backlog for fixing after Exim 4.89, so if you
are intending to stick with older OpenSSL releases for the time being,
then Exim 4.89 is probably the last Exim release which will work with
your unsupported-by-OpenSSL-project OpenSSL libraries. You thus have a
Very Strong Interest in ensuring that 4.89 works for you.
Please test this RC.

If you are testing and experience a segfault still, then after I finish
crying like a baby, I'm going to ask for debugging information.

So please build with CFLAGS+=-ggdb and do not strip the binary; if you
experience crashes, look into what's needed to enable setuid programs to
generate core files on your platform, and then we'll want, minimally, a
backtrace.

Additionally, if you experience issues, then setting the new
main-section configuration option "debug_store", which is a bool, may
turn some issues into assertion failures (so Exim will still crash, but
closer to the root cause).

At this point, we're really close; some of the issues fixed in 4.89 are
issues introduced in 4.88, others are potentially long-standing issues.

The files are signed with the PGP key 0x4D1E900E14C1CC04, which has a
uid "Phil Pennock <pdp@???>". Please use your own discretion in
assessing what trust paths you might have to this uid. Note that I have
two signing sub-keys and have signed with both; if you have an ancient
GnuPG release, you should get unimplemented warnings for one signature.
If this causes you inability to verify, please let me know; but if you
can verify with the other signature then that's expected behavior.

Checksums below. Detached PGP signatures in .asc files are available
alongside the tarballs.

Please report issues in reply to this email.

Thank you for your testing and feedback,
-Phil Pennock, pp The Exim Maintainers.
