Dear Exim users and maintaers,
We are pleased to announce the availability of release 4.96 of Exim.
Thanks to everybody who tested release-candidates. There were no
comments on the RC2 and so the final release has only a very minor
documentation change from that.
New stuff we've added since 4.95:
- A new ACL condition: seen. Records/tests a timestamp against a key.
- A variant of the "mask" expansion operator to give normalised IPv6.
- UTC output option for exim_dumpdb, exim_fixdb.
- An event for failing TLS connects to the daemon.
- The ACL "debug" control gains options "stop", "pretrigger" and "trigger".
- Query-style lookups are now checked for quoting, if the query string is
built using untrusted data ("tainted"). For now lack of quoting is merely
logged; a future release will upgrade this to an error.
- The expansion conditions match_<list-type> and inlist now set $value for
the expansion of the "true" result of the ${if}. With a static list, this
can be used for de-tainting.
Notable removals since 4.95:
- the "allow_insecure_tainted_data" main config option and the
"taint" log_selector. These were deprecated in the 4.95 release.
The documentation now points out variables that are very likely to
carry tainted values.
For other changes, please see the ChangeLog file. Where possible the
documentation has been marked up with changebars.
