Hi all,
Enough changes have accumulated since 4.96 for it to be worth
spinning another release. The first Release Candidate is available
- as tarball: https://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test
- directly from Git: https://git.exim.org
tag exim-4.97-RC0
The signatures on the release tarballs (and this mail) should be
mine, key ID 0xBCE58C8CE41F32DF.
Please test and give feedback on the RC so that we can shake out
issues before 4.97 goes official.
The sourcebase is still open for feature additions at this point
in the release process.
New stuff we've added since 4.96
- The expansion-test facility (exim -be) can set variables.
- An event on a failing SMTP AUTH, for both client and server operations.
- Variable $sender_helo_verified with the result of an ACL "verify = helo".
- Predefined macros for expansion items, operators, conditions and variables.
- The smtp transport option "max_rcpt" is now expanded before use.
- The tls_eccurve option for OpenSSL now takes a list of group names.
- Queue runners for several queues can now be started from one daemon.
- New utility exim_msgdate converts message-ids to human readable format.
- An expansion operator for wrapping long header lines.
- A commandline option to print just the message IDs of the queue
- An option for the ${readsocket } expansion to set an SNI for TLS.
- The ACL remove_header modifier can take a pattern.
- Variable $recipients_list, a properly-quoted exim list.
- A log_selector for an incoming connection ID.
Notable changes:
- The internal (but exposed in logs, Received: headers and Message-ID: headers)
identifier used for messages is longer than in the previous release
As usual, you should read the ChangeLog file for other changes.
