Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.61
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
+ system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
+ systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
+ code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
+ IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
+ that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
+ addresses as local.
+
+PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@
+ [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix.
+
+PH/03 Added disable_ipv6.
+
+PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the
+ decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers
+ lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
+ invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
+ newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
+ grumble.
+
+PH/05 If group was specified without a user on a router, and no group or user
+ was specified on a transport, the group from the router was ignored.
+
+PH/06 Increased the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type, and arranged
+ for visible compile-time settings that can be used to change these
+ numbers, for those that want even more. Backwards compatibility with old
+ spool files has been maintained. However, going back to a previous Exim
+ release will lost any variables that are in spool files.
+
+PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when
+ passing a TCP/IP connection to a new process, in case the original
+ process has to generate a bounce, and remove special handling of
+ 127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary.
+
+PH/08 Changed debug output of dbfn_open() flags from numbers to names, so as to
+ be the same on different OS.
+
+PH/09 Moved a debug statement in filter processing to avoid a race problem when
+ testing.
+
+JJ/01 exipick: fixed bug where -b (brief) output option showed "Vars:"
+ whether --show-vars was specified or not
+
+JJ/02 exipick: Added support for new ACL variable spool format introduced
+ in 4.61-PH/06
+
+
Exim version 4.60
-----------------
PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists
(Bugzilla #53).
+PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
+ canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
+ the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
+ addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
+ have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
+ addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
+ fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
+ by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
+ the text comparison.
+
+PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
+ given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
+ form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
+ The same fix has been applied.
+
Exim version 4.54
