 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
@@ -106,6 +106,20 @@ PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
       adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
       errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
 
+PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
+      failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
+      it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
+      message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
+      behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
+      "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
+      when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
+      "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
+      delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.
+
+PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as
+      $1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some
+      expansion items (e.g. "match"), thereby losing the authentication data.
