+Version 4.88
+------------
+
+ 1. The new perl_taintmode option allows to run the embedded perl
+ interpreter in taint mode.
+
+ 2. New log_selector: dnssec, adds a "DS" tag to acceptance and delivery lines.
+
+ 3. Speculative debugging, via a "kill" option to the "control=debug" ACL
+ modifier.
+
+ 4. New expansion item ${sha3:<string>} / ${sha3_<N>:<string>}.
+ N can be 224, 256 (default), 384, 512.
+ With GnuTLS 3.5.0 or later, only.
+
+ 5. Facility for named queues: A commandline argument can specify
+ the queue name for a queue operation, and an ACL modifier can set
+ the queue to be used for a message. A $queue_name variable gives
+ visibility.
+
+ 6. New expansion operators base32/base32d.
+
+ 7. The CHUNKING ESMTP extension from RFC 3030. May give some slight
+ performance increase and network load decrease. Main config option
+ chunking_advertise_hosts, and smtp transport option hosts_try_chunking
+ for control.
+
+ 8. LMDB lookup support, as Experimental. Patch supplied by Andrew Colin Kissa.
+
+ 9. Expansion operator escape8bit, like escape but not touching newline etc..
+
+10. Feature macros, generated from compile options. All start with "_HAVE_"
+ and go on with some roughly recognisable name. Driver macros, for
+ router, transport and authentication drivers; names starting with "_DRVR_".
+ Option macros, for each configuration-file option; all start with "_OPT_".
+ Use the "-bP macros" command-line option to see what is present.
+
+11. Integer values for options can take a "G" multiplier.
+
+12. defer=pass option for the ACL control cutthrough_delivery, to reflect 4xx
+ returns from the target back to the initiator, rather than spooling the
+ message.
+
+13. New built-in constants available for tls_dhparam and default changed.
+
+14. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_QUEUEFILE, a queuefile transport, for writing
+ out copies of the message spool files for use by 3rd-party scanners.
+
+
+Version 4.87
+------------
+
+ 1. The ACL conditions regex and mime_regex now capture substrings
+ into numeric variables $regex1 to 9, like the "match" expansion condition.
+
+ 2. New $callout_address variable records the address used for a spam=,
+ malware= or verify= callout.
+
+ 3. Transports now take a "max_parallel" option, to limit concurrency.
+
+ 4. Expansion operators ${ipv6norm:<string>} and ${ipv6denorm:<string>}.
+ The latter expands to a 8-element colon-sep set of hex digits including
+ leading zeroes. A trailing ipv4-style dotted-decimal set is converted
+ to hex. Pure ipv4 addresses are converted to IPv4-mapped IPv6.
+ The former operator strips leading zeroes and collapses the longest
+ set of 0-groups to a double-colon.
+
+ 5. New "-bP config" support, to dump the effective configuration.
+
+ 6. New $dkim_key_length variable.
+
+ 7. New base64d and base64 expansion items (the existing str2b64 being a
+ synonym of the latter). Add support in base64 for certificates.
+
+ 8. New main configuration option "bounce_return_linesize_limit" to
+ avoid oversize bodies in bounces. The dafault value matches RFC
+ limits.
+
+ 9. New $initial_cwd expansion variable.
+
+
Version 4.86
------------
12. A non-SMTP authenticator using information from TLS client certificates.
13. Main option "tls_eccurve" for selecting an Elliptic Curve for TLS.
+ Patch originally by Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+14. Main option "dns_trust_aa" for trusting your local nameserver at the
+ same level as DNSSEC.
Version 4.85
"aaaa" and "a" lookups is done and the full set of results returned.
14. New expansion variable $headers_added with content from ACL add_header
- modifier (but not yet added to messsage).
+ modifier (but not yet added to message).
15. New 8bitmime status logging option for received messages. Log field "M8S".
