 Version 4.78
+------------
 
- 1. New expansion variable $tls_bits.
+ 1. New authenticator driver, "gsasl".  Server-only (at present).
+    This is a SASL interface, licensed under GPL, which can be found at
+    http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/.
+    This system does not provide sources of data for authentication, so
+    careful use needs to be made of the conditions in Exim.  Note that
+    this can not yet be used as a drop-in replacement for Cyrus SASL, as
+    Exim is currently unable to construct strings with embedded NULs for
+    use as keys in lookups against sasldb2.
+
+ 2. New authenticator driver, "heimdal_gssapi".  Server-only.
+    A replacement for using cyrus_sasl with Heimdal, now that $KRB5_KTNAME
+    is no longer honoured for setuid programs by Heimdal.  Use the
+    "server_keytab" option to point to the keytab.
+
+ 3. The "pkg-config" system can now be used when building Exim to reference
+    cflags and library information for lookups and authenticators, rather
+    than having to update "CFLAGS", "AUTH_LIBS", "LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and
+    "LOOKUP_LIBS" directly.  Similarly for handling the TLS library support
+    without adjusting "TLS_INCLUDE" and "TLS_LIBS".
+
+ 4. New expansion variable $tls_bits.
