Just when you stopped hoping, and started making bets on how many more years
it would take for the next release, it's here finally

Deb package is here:
http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/files/debian/
(compiled against unstable, you might have to rebuild for testing, or wait
for official deb packages from Sander Smeenk, although I'm pretty sure
they're in sync right now)

The changelist is here:

     * Deal  with  being  called  with  the  number  of  recipients  is 0
       (reported by John Horne)
     * Made  hopefully fully 64 bit clean (well, it was written that way,
       except for that pesky printf in C, which got in the way). Kudos go
       to Adam D. Barratt for finding and explaining the bug
     * Switched  to  using  strchr instead of index to remove compilation
       warnings on some systems (reported by John Horne/Jeff Carter)
     * Added SAspamcHost/SAspamcPort at the request of several people
     * Fixed  mbox From file to be standards complaint (reported by Cliff
       Hones)
     * Added SAFEMESGIDCHARS option for safer message-id based filenames
     * New  version  of  the SA patch, with safe file creation (clean env
       from and rcpt to before using as directory names)
     * IMPORTANT:  if you are using greylisting, and applied the previous
       greylisting  patch,  it  didn't create shell safe filenames, it is
       therefore highly recommended that you apply the new version
     * Added  a  quick  patch  to  sa-exim  to deal with headers that are
       longer than 8K (and drop the remaining lines)


As explained there, if you are using the old SA patch, you should really
upgrade to the new one in order to get shell safe filenames (the creation
was safe, but dealing with them with shell scripts to expire records was
potentially unsafe depending on how you did it)
