Exim 4.77 Release


Exim release 4.77 is now available from the primary ftp site:
  * ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.77.tar.gz
  * ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.77.tar.bz2
 _________________________________________________________________

This release contains backwards incompatible changes.  PLEASE read the
README.UPDATING file before upgrading.  Per the recent Exim-Announce
notice, we have realised that the match_<type>{}{} expansion conditions
were too powerful and sometimes misused, leading to configurations with
security issues, such as SQL injection attacks.

So we have restricted their functionality.  The README.UPDATING file
describes precisely what has changed and what the alternatives are, and
how to restore the old functionality, should you need to.

In brighter news: rate-limiting is now more powerful and users of GnuTLS
can now use TLS 1.1 and 1.2 for connections.
