| 3 | New Features in Exim |
| 4 | -------------------- |
| 5 | |
| 6 | This file contains descriptions of new features that have been added to Exim, |
| 7 | but have not yet made it into the main manual (which is most conveniently |
| 8 | updated when there is a relatively large batch of changes). The doc/ChangeLog |
| 9 | file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Version 4.61 |
| 12 | ------------ |
| 13 | |
| 14 | PH/01 There is a new global option called disable_ipv6, which does exactly what |
| 15 | its name implies. If set true, even if the Exim binary has IPv6 support, |
| 16 | no IPv6 activities take place. AAAA records are never looked up for host |
| 17 | names given in manual routing data or elsewhere. AAAA records that are |
| 18 | received from the DNS as additional data for MX records are ignored. Any |
| 19 | IPv6 addresses that are listed in local_interfaces, manualroute route |
| 20 | data, etc. are also ignored. If IP literals are enabled, the ipliteral |
| 21 | router declines to handle IPv6 literal addresses. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | PH/01 There are now 20 of each type of ACL variable by default (instead of 10). |
| 24 | It is also possible to change the numbers by setting ACL_CVARS and/or |
| 25 | ACL_MVARS in Local/Makefile. Backward compatibility is maintained if you |
| 26 | upgrade to this release with existing messages containing ACL variable |
| 27 | settings on the queue. However, going in the other direction |
| 28 | (downgrading) will not be compatible; the values of ACL variables will be |
| 29 | lost. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Version 4.60 |
| 33 | ------------ |
| 34 | |
| 35 | The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.60 release. Major new features since |
| 36 | the 4.50 release are: |
| 37 | |
| 38 | . Support for SQLite. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | . Support for IGNOREQUOTA in LMTP. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | . Extensions to the "submission mode" features. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | . Support for Client SMTP Authorization (CSA). |
| 45 | |
| 46 | . Support for ratelimiting hosts and users. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | . New expansion items to help with the BATV "prvs" scheme. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | . A "match_ip" condition, that matches an IP address against a list. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | There are many more minor changes. |
