 Exim version 4.98
 -----------------
 
+JH/01 Use fewer forks & execs for sending many messages to a single host.
+      By passing back more info from the transport to the delivery process,
+      we can loop there.  A two-phase queue run will benefit, particularly for
+      mailinglist and smarthost cases.
+
+JH/02 Add transaction support for hintsdbs. The providers supported are tdb and
+      sqlite. Transactions are used for the wait-transport and retry DBs.
+      They imply locking internal to the DB.  We no longer need a separate
+      lockfile, can keep the DB handle open for extended periods, yet
+      potentially benefit from concurrency on non-conflicting record uses.
+
+JH/03 With dkim_verify_minimal, avoid calling the DKIM ACL after the first
+      good verify.
+
+JH/04 Remove the docs and support scripts dealing with conversion of Exim
+      version 3 installations.
+
+JH/05 Fix hintsdb support for dbmjz when compiled using sqlite3. Previously
+      the backend support assumed keys would be simple C strings, but dbmjz
+      uses keys with embedded NUL bytes.  The builtin hintsdb use is unaffected,
+      but installations using dbmjz will need to rebuild those DBs.
+
+JH/06 Bug 1141: When operating a continued-connection transport, verify that
+      the interface option, if specified, evaluates to match the connection.
+      Previously, a queued message for the same host was sent without checking.
+
+JH/07 Bug 3106: Fix coding in SPA authenticator. A macro argument was not
+      properly parenthesized, resulting in a logic error.  While the simple
+      fix was provided by Andrew Aitchison, the over-large code block resulting
+      from this macro made me want to replace it with a real function so more
+      extensive rework becamse needed.
+
+JH/08 The output of "exim -bV" now includes lookup types built as dynamic-load
+      modules.
+
+JH/09 Not a change, but worthy of note: There is no test coverage of the
+      heimdall-gssapi authenticator driver.  It does build, though with (on at
+      least one platform) library version conflicts with the gsasl auth
+      driver).  Confidence in its operation is lacking.
+
+Exim version 4.98
+-----------------
+
 JH/01 Support list of dkim results in the dkim_status ACL condition, making
       it more usable in the data ACL.
