+PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
+      bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
+      are as follows:
+
+      (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
+      (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
+      (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
+      (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
+      (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
+
+      In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
+      warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
+      as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.
+
+PH/43 $value is now also set for the "else" part of a ${run expansion.
+
+PH/44 Applied patch from the Sieve maintainer: "The vacation draft is still
+      being worked on, but at least Exim now implements the latest version to
+      play with."
+
+PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
+      process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
+      writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
+      successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
+      consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
+      treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
+      there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
+      timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
+      both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
+      the log output.
