+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.
+
+JH/02 Bug 3040: Handle error on close of the spool data file during reception. 
+      Previously This was only logged, on the assumption that errors would be
+      seen for a previous fflush().  However, a fuse filesystem has been
+      reported as showing this an error for the fclose().  The spool is now in
+      an uncertain state, and we have logged and responded acceptance.  Change
+      this to respond with a temp-reject, wipe spoolfiles, and log the error
+      detail.
+
+JH/03 Bug 3030: Fix handling of DNS servfail respons for DANE TLSA.  When hit
+      during a recipient verify callout, a QUIT command was attempted on the
+      now-closed callout channel, causing a paniclog entry.
+
+JH/04 Bug 3039: Fix handling of of an empty log_reject_target, with
+      a connection_reject log_selector, under tls_on_connect.  Previously
+      with this combination, when the connect ACL rejected, a spurious
+      paniclog entry was made.
+
+JH/05 Fix TLS resumption for TLS-on-connect.  This was broken by the advent
+      of loadbalancer-detection for resumption, in 4.96 - which tries to
+      use the EHLO response. SMTPS does not have one at the time it is starting
+      TLS.  Change the default for the smtp transport host_name_extract option
+      to be a static string, for TLS-on-connect cases; meaning that resumption
+      will always be attempted (unless deliberately overriden).
+
+JH/06 Bug 3054: Fix dnsdb lookup for a TXT record with multiple chunks, with a
+      chunk-separator specification.  This was broken by hardening introduced
+      for Bug 3031.
+
+JH/07 Bug 3050: Fix -bp for old message_id format spoolfiles.  Previously it
+      included the -H with the id; this also messed up exiqgrep.
+
+JH/08 Bug 3056: Tighten up parsing of DKIM DNS records.  Previously, whitespace
+      was not properly skipped and empty elements would cause mis-parsing.
+      Tighten parsing of DKIM header records.  Previously, all but lowercase
+      alpha chars would be ignored in potential tag names.
+
+JH/09 Bug 3057: Add heuristic for spotting mistyped IPv6 addresses in lists
+      being searched.  Previously we only had one for IPv4 addresses. Per the
+      documentation, the error results by default in a no-match result for the
+      list.  It is logged if the unknown_in_list log_selector is used.
+
+JH/10 Bug 3058: Ensure that a failing expansion in a router "set" option defers
+      the routing operation.  Previously it would silently stop routing the
+      message.
+
+JH/11 Bug 3046: Fix queue-runs.  Previously, the arrivel of a notification or
+      info-request event close in time to a scheduled run timer could result in
+      the latter being missed, and no further queue scheduled runs being
+      initiated.  This ouwld be more likely on high-load systems.
+
+JH/12 Refuse to accept a line "dot, LF" as end-of-DATA unless operating in
+      LF-only mode (as detected from the first header line).  Previously we did
+      accept that in (normal) CRLF mode; this has been raised as a possible
+      attack scenario (under the name "smtp smuggling").
+
+JH/13 Add an fdatasync call for the received message data file in spool, before
+      loggging reception and sending the SMTP ack.  Previously we only flushed
+      the stdio buffer so there was still the possibility of a disk error.
+
+JH/14 Bug 3061: Avoid a split log line when trtying to rewrite a malformed
+      address.  Previously, for the last address in a header line (commonly
+      there is only one) the terminating newline was part of the logged
+      information.
+
+JH/15 Bug 3061: Ensure a log line is written for a malformed address in a
+      header, when parsing for address-qualification.  Previously one was only
+      written if there were rewrite rules.
+
+JH/16 Two-phase queue runs are now reported in the daemon startup log line and
+      in exiwhat output.
+
+JH/17 Bug 3064: Fix combination of "-q<period> -R <recipients>". Introduction of
+      the multiple-queue-runners facility for 4.97 broking this, giving only
+      a one-time run of the queue.
+
+JH/18 Bug 3068: Log a warning for use of deprecated syntax in query-style
+      lookups.
+
+JH/19 Fix TLS startup. When the last expansion done before the initiation of a
+      TLS session resulted in a forced-fail, a misleading error was logged for
+      the expansino of tls_certificates.  This would affect the common case of
+      that option being set (main-section options) but not having any vriable
+      parts.  It could also potentially affect tls_privatekeys.  The underlyding
+      coding errors go back to 4.90 but were only exposed in 4.97.
+
+JH/20 Bug 3047: A recent (somewhere between 10.34 and 10.42) version of the
+      pcre2 library starting allocating 20kB rather than 112 bytes per match
+      call, which broke the 2GB total limitation on Exim's memory management
+      when a user had over 104207 messages stored and the appendfile
+      maildir_quota_directory_regex option is in use.  Release the allocated
+      memory every thosand files to avoid this.
+      The same issue arises with the ACL regex condition, which is applied
+      to every line of a received message.

+JH/19 Bug 2911: Fix a recursion in DNS lookups.  Previously, if the main option
+      dns_again_means_nonexist included an element causing a DNS lookup which
+      itself returned DNS_AGAIN, unbounded recursion occurred.  Possible results
+      included (though probably not limited to) a process crash from stack
+      memory limit, or from excessive open files.  Replace this with a paniclog
+      whine (as this is likely a configuration error), and returning
+      DNS_NOMATCH.
+
+JH/20 Bug 2954: (OpenSSL) Fix setting of explicit EC curve/group.  Previously
+      this always failed, probably leading to the usual downgrade to in-clear
+      connections.
+
+JH/21 Fix TLSA lookups.  Previously dns_again_means_nonexist would affect
+      SERVFAIL results, which breaks the downgrade resistance of DANE.  Change
+      to not checking that list for these lookups.
+
+JH/22 Bug 2434: Add connection-elapsed "D=" element to more connection
+      closure log lines.
+
+JH/23 Fix crash in string expansions. Previously, if an empty variable was
+      immediately followed by an expansion operator, a null-indirection read
+      was done, killing the process.
+
+JH/24 Bug 2997: When built with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO, bounce messages can
+      include an SMTP response string which is longer than that supported
+      by the delivering transport.  Alleviate by wrapping such lines before
+      column 80.
+
+JH/25 Bug 2827: Restrict size of References: header in bounce messages to 998
+      chars (RFC limit).  Previously a limit of 12 items was made, which with
+      a not-impossible References: in the message being bounced could still
+      be over-large and get stopped in the transport.
+
+JH/26 For a ${readsocket } in TLS mode, send a TLS Close Alert before the TCP
+      close.  Previously a bare socket close was done.
+
+JH/27 Fix ${srs_encode ..}.  Previously it would give a bad result for one day
+      every 1024 days.
+
+JH/28 Bug 2996: Fix a crash in the smtp transport.  When finding that the
+      message being considered for delivery was already being handled by
+      another process, and having an SMTP connection already open, the function
+      to close it tried to use an uninitialized variable.  This would afftect
+      high-volume sites more, especially when running mailing-list-style loads.
+      Pollution of logs was the major effect, as the other process delivered
+      the message.  Found and partly investigated by Graeme Fowler.
+
+JH/29 Change format of the internal ID used for message identification. The old
+      version only supported 31 bits for a PID element; the new 64 (on systems
+      which can use Base-62 encoding, which is all currently supported ones
+      but not Darwin (MacOS) or Cygwin, which have case-insensitive filesystems
+      and must use Base-36).  The new ID is 23 characters rather than 16, and is
+      visible in various places - notably logs, message headers, and spool file
+      names.  Various of the ancillary utilities also have to know the format.
+       As well as the expanded PID portion, the sub-second part of the time
+      recorded in the ID is expanded to support finer precision.  Theoretically
+      this permits a receive rate from a single comms channel of better than the
+      previous 2000/sec.
+        The major timestamp part of the ID is not changed; at 6 characters it is
+      usable until about year 3700.
+        Updating from previously releases is fully supported: old-format spool
+      files are still usable, and the utilities support both formats.  New
+      message will use the new format.  The one hints-DB file type which uses
+      message-IDs (the transport wait- DB) will be discarded if an old-format ID
+      is seen; new ones will be built with only new-format IDs.
+      Optionally, a utility can be used to convert spool files from old to new,
+      but this is only an efficiency measure not a requirement for operation
+        Downgrading from new to old requires running a provided utility, having
+      first stopped all operations.  This will convert any spool files from new
+      back to old (losing time-precision and PID information) and remove any
+      wait- hints databases.
+
+JH/30 Bug 3006: Fix handling of JSON strings having embedded commas. Previously
+      we treated them as item separators when parsing for a list item, but they
+      need to be protected by the doublequotes.  While there, add handling for
+      backslashes.
+
+JH/31 Bug 2998: Fix ${utf8clean:...} to disallow UTF-16 surrogate codepoints.
+      Found and fixed by Jasen Betts. No testcase for this as my usual text
+      editor insists on emitting only valid UTF-8.
+
+JH/32 Fix "tls_dhparam = none" under GnuTLS.  At least with 3.7.9 this gave
+      a null-indirection SIGSEGV for the receive process.
+
+JH/33 Fix free for live variable $value created by a ${run ...} expansion during
+      -bh use.  Internal checking would spot this and take a panic.
+
+JH/34 Bug 3013: Fix use of $recipients within arguments for ${run...}.
+      In 4.96 this would expand to empty.
+
+JH/35 Bug 3014: GnuTLS: fix expiry date for an auto-generated server
+      certificate.  Find and fix by Andreas Metzler.
+
+JH/36 Add ARC info to DMARC hostory records.
+
+JH/37 Bug 3016: Avoid sending DSN when message was accepted under fakereject
+      or fakedefer.  Previously the sender could discover that the message
+      had in fact been accepted.
+
+JH/38 Taint-track intermediate values from the peer in multi-stage authentation
+      sequences.  Previously the input was not noted as being tainted; notably
+      this resulted in behaviour of LOGIN vs. PLAIN being inconsistent under
+      bad coding of authenticators.
+
+JH/39 Bug 3023: Fix crash induced by some combinations of zero-length strings
+      and ${tr...}.  Found and diagnosed by Heiko Schlichting.
