+    For sufficiently recent GnuTLS libraries, ${randint:..} will now use
+    gnutls_rnd(), asking for GNUTLS_RND_NONCE level randomness.
+
+12. With OpenSSL, if built with EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP, a new option tls_ocsp_file
+    is now available.  If the contents of the file are valid, then Exim will
+    send that back in response to a TLS status request; this is OCSP Stapling.
+    Exim will not maintain the contents of the file in any way: administrators
+    are responsible for ensuring that it is up-to-date.

+14. New expansion variable $tod_epoch_l for higher-precision time.
+
+15. New global option tls_dh_max_bits, defaulting to current value of NSS
+    hard-coded limit of DH ephemeral bits, to fix interop problems caused by
+    GnuTLS 2.12 library recommending a bit count higher than NSS supports.
