+Exim version 4.82
+-----------------
+
+ * New option gnutls_enable_pkcs11 defaults false; if you have GnuTLS 2.12.0
+   or later and do want PKCS11 modules to be autoloaded, then set this option.
+
+ * A per-transport wait-<name> database is no longer updated if the transport
+   sets "connection_max_messages" to 1, as it can not be used and causes
+   unnecessary serialisation and load.  External tools tracking the state of
+   Exim by the hints databases may need modification to take this into account.
+
+ * The av_scanner option can now accept multiple clamd TCP targets, all other
+   setting limitations remain.

 Exim version 4.80

  * BEWARE backwards-incompatible changes in SSL libraries, thus the version
    bump.  See points below for details.

  * The value of $tls_peerdn is now print-escaped when written to the spool file
    in a -tls_peerdn line, and unescaped when read back in.  We received reports

+ * For OpenSSL, SSLv2 is now disabled by default.  (GnuTLS does not support
+   SSLv2).  RFC 6176 prohibits SSLv2 and some informal surveys suggest no

  * With OpenSSL 1.0.1+, Exim now supports TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.  If built
    against 1.0.1a then you will get a warning message and the

+ * The "tls_dhparam" option has been updated, so that it can now specify a

+   The default for OpenSSL is no longer to not use DH but instead to use
+   one of these standard primes.  The default for GnuTLS is no longer to use

+   The option is now used by GnuTLS too.  If it points to a path, then
+   GnuTLS will use that path, instead of a file in the spool directory;
+   GnuTLS will attempt to create it if it does not exist.

+   To preserve the previous behaviour of generating files in the spool

+   ignored tls_dhparam when using GnuTLS, this can safely be done before
