Breaking changes

This version introduces some changes which require your attention.

1. User configuration is based on primary address, whereas in the previous version, it was based on either
   the quarantine recipient address or the first email address. This may change the “active configuration”
   (e.g., quarantine report configuration) for some users, especially those imported from LDAP. This
   change won’t affect users imported from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
2. Usernames must be unique and are no longer considered owned email addresses. All previous
   data is migrated to preserve the current permissions, but the LDAP sets may need proper cleanup
   or reconfiguration to be able to allow import.
3. Removed HTTPS compatibility with old browsers. Stricter TLS checks: HTTPS no longer compatible
   with Android <4.4.2, Firefox < 27, Chrome < 31, IE before Windows 7, Safari < 9.
4. Normal users are only allowed to “submit as good/bad,” not to “mark as good/bad,”
   so you may need to change some customized reports to reflect this change.
5. System-generated emails are now sent using the format $local_user@$esg_hostname,
   so make sure your mail server properly handles such cases.
6. Remote syslog message ID changed. Message IDs in versions up to 5.1 will use the format
   matching the regular expression /[A-Z0-9]+\.[A-Z0-9]{5}/, while versions 5.2 onward will use the new format
   matching the regular expression /[0-9B-DF-HJ-NP-TV-Zb-df-hj-np-tv-z]{12,}/.
7. Antispoofing extended to subdomains. Improved protections against spoofing by extending
   the Trusted Networks check to subdomains. If untrusted sources send messages to ESG
   from a subdomain use “Standard (SPF)” instead of “Trusted Only” in the Antispoofing configuration.
