+Version 4.78
+------------
+
+ 1. New authenticator driver, "gsasl". Server-only (at present).
+ This is a SASL interface, licensed under GPL, which can be found at
+ http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/.
+ This system does not provide sources of data for authentication, so
+ careful use needs to be made of the conditions in Exim.
+
+ 2. New authenticator driver, "heimdal_gssapi". Server-only.
+ A replacement for using cyrus_sasl with Heimdal, now that $KRB5_KTNAME
+ is no longer honoured for setuid programs by Heimdal. Use the
+ "server_keytab" option to point to the keytab.
+
+ 3. The "pkg-config" system can now be used when building Exim to reference
+ cflags and library information for lookups and authenticators, rather
+ than having to update "CFLAGS", "AUTH_LIBS", "LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and
+ "LOOKUP_LIBS" directly. Similarly for handling the TLS library support
+ without adjusting "TLS_INCLUDE" and "TLS_LIBS".
+
+ 4. New expansion variable $tls_bits.
+
+ 5. New lookup type, "dbmjz". Key is an Exim list, the elements of which will
+ be joined together with ASCII NUL characters to construct the key to pass
+ into the DBM library. Can be used with gsasl to access sasldb2 files as
+ used by Cyrus SASL.
+
+ 6. OpenSSL now supports TLS1.1 and TLS1.2 with OpenSSL 1.0.1.
+
+ Avoid release 1.0.1a if you can. Note that the default value of
+ "openssl_options" is no longer "+dont_insert_empty_fragments", as that
+ increased susceptibility to attack. This may still have interoperability
+ implications for very old clients (see version 4.31 change 37) but
+ administrators can choose to make the trade-off themselves and restore
+ compatibility at the cost of session security.
+
+
+Version 4.77
+------------
+
+ 1. New options for the ratelimit ACL condition: /count= and /unique=.
+ The /noupdate option has been replaced by a /readonly option.
+
+ 2. The SMTP transport's protocol option may now be set to "smtps", to
+ use SSL-on-connect outbound.
+
+ 3. New variable $av_failed, set true if the AV scanner deferred; ie, when
+ there is a problem talking to the AV scanner, or the AV scanner running.
+
+ 4. New expansion conditions, "inlist" and "inlisti", which take simple lists
+ and check if the search item is a member of the list. This does not
+ support named lists, but does subject the list part to string expansion.
+
+ 5. Unless the new EXPAND_LISTMATCH_RHS build option is set when Exim was
+ built, Exim no longer performs string expansion on the second string of
+ the match_* expansion conditions: "match_address", "match_domain",
+ "match_ip" & "match_local_part". Named lists can still be used.
+
+
+Version 4.76
+------------
+
+ 1. The global option "dns_use_edns0" may be set to coerce EDNS0 usage on
+ or off in the resolver library.
+
+
+Version 4.75
+------------
+
+ 1. In addition to the existing LDAP and LDAP/SSL ("ldaps") support, there
+ is now LDAP/TLS support, given sufficiently modern OpenLDAP client
+ libraries. The following global options have been added in support of
+ this: ldap_ca_cert_dir, ldap_ca_cert_file, ldap_cert_file, ldap_cert_key,
+ ldap_cipher_suite, ldap_require_cert, ldap_start_tls.
+
+ 2. The pipe transport now takes a boolean option, "freeze_signal", default
+ false. When true, if the external delivery command exits on a signal then
+ Exim will freeze the message in the queue, instead of generating a bounce.
+
+ 3. Log filenames may now use %M as an escape, instead of %D (still available).
+ The %M pattern expands to yyyymm, providing month-level resolution.
+
+ 4. The $message_linecount variable is now updated for the maildir_tag option,
+ in the same way as $message_size, to reflect the real number of lines,
+ including any header additions or removals from transport.
+
+ 5. When contacting a pool of SpamAssassin servers configured in spamd_address,
+ Exim now selects entries randomly, to better scale in a cluster setup.
+
+
+Version 4.74
+------------
+
+ 1. SECURITY FIX: privilege escalation flaw fixed. On Linux (and only Linux)
+ the flaw permitted the Exim run-time user to cause root to append to
+ arbitrary files of the attacker's choosing, with the content based
+ on content supplied by the attacker.
+
+ 2. Exim now supports loading some lookup types at run-time, using your
+ platform's dlopen() functionality. This has limited platform support
+ and the intention is not to support every variant, it's limited to
+ dlopen(). This permits the main Exim binary to not be linked against
+ all the libraries needed for all the lookup types.
