New Features in Exim
--------------------

This file contains full descriptions of new features that have been added to
Exim, but have not yet made it into the main manual (which is most conveniently
updated when there is a relatively large batch of changes). The toplevel file
CHANGES contains brief listings for recent releases. The doc/ChangeLog file
contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes.

Version 3.13
------------

1. There is a new option called auth_always_advertise, available when Exim is
compiled with AUTH support, which defaults TRUE. If it is set FALSE, then Exim
advertises the AUTH command in response to EHLO only if the calling host is in
auth_hosts or host_auth_accept_relay (assuming Exim is configured with some
authenticators). Otherwise it does not advertise AUTH, though it is prepared to
accept it. Certain mail clients (e.g. Netscape) require to the user to provide
a name and password for authentication if AUTH is advertised, even though it
may not be needed (the host may be in host_accept_relay, for example).
Unsetting auth_always_advertise makes these clients more friendly in these
circumstances.

2. The appendfile transport has a new option called allow_fifo. When set, it
permits delivery to named pipes (FIFOs) as well as to regular files. If no
process is reading the named pipe at delivery time, the delivery is deferred.

3. The smartuser now has qualify_preserve_domain, which works the same as it
does for aliasfile and forwardfile.

4. The exim_dbmbuild utility now has a -noduperr option. If set, duplicates in
the input do not cause the return code to be non-zero.


Version 3.10
------------

The documentation is up-to-date for the 3.10 release.
