Exim 4.70 Release Notes

Exim release 4.70 is now available from the primary ftp site:

This release is a combination feature and bug fix release. The major new features are:-

  • Native DKIM support without an external library.
  • Experimental DCC support via dccifd (contributed by Wolfgang Breyha).

Other changes:-

  • PCRE is no longer included with the Exim distribution. You will need a separate PCRE library (and matching headers) to compile Exim. You will need to change your Local/Makefile to support this. Most modern systems have a packaged PCRE library, alternatively PCRE can be found at http://www.pcre.org/
  • Experimental Yahoo! Domainkeys support dropped in favor of native DKIM support.
  • The documentation has been updated and regenerated.

As usual, all changes are in the doc/ChangeLog file, which can also be seen at http://vcs.exim.org/viewvc/exim/exim-doc/doc-txt/ChangeLog?view=markup&pathrev=exim_4_70
