Hi all,
Time has come to start the process towards a new release incorporating
the improvements and fixes since 4.97.
This first release candidate v4.98-RC0 is available
- as tarball:
https://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test
- directly from Git:
https://git.exim.org
tag exim-4.98-RC0
The signatures on the release candidate tarballs should be,
* key ID 0xBCE58C8CE41F32DF
* Email: jgh@???
Please test and give feedback on the RC so that we can shake out issues
before 4.98 goes official.
The sourcebase is still open for feature additions at this point in the
release process.
New stuff we've added since 4.97
* The dkim_status ACL condition may now be used in data ACLs
* The dkim_verbose logging control also enables logging of signing
* The dkim_timestamps signing option now accepts zero to include a current
timestamp but no expiry timestamp. Code by Simon Arlott; testsuite
additions by jgh.
* The recipients_max main option is now expanded.
* Setting variables for "exim -be" can set a tainted value.
* A dns:fail event.
* The dsearch lookup supports search for a sub-path.
* Include mailtest utility for simple connection checking.
* Add SMTP WELLKNOWN extension.
* Sqlite3 can be used for the hints databases (vs. DBD, NDB, GBDM, TDB).
Add "USE_SQLITE = y" and "DBMLIB = -lsqlite3" in Local/Makefile,
to override
the settings done in the OS/Makefile-<platform> file.
Security related.
This candidate contains the previous fixes for CVE-2023-51766
Notable bugfixes include
* Fix TLS resumption for TLS-on-connect.
* Tighten up parsing of DKIM DNS records.
