+Exim version 4.97
+-----------------
+
+JH/01 The hosts_connection_nolog main option now also controls "no MAIL in
+ SMTP connection" log lines.
+
+JH/02 Option default value updates:
+ - queue_fast_ramp (main) true (was false)
+ - remote_max_parallel (main) 4 (was 2)
+
+JH/03 Cache static regex pattern compilations, for use by ACLs.
+
+JH/04 Bug 2903: avoid exit on an attempt to rewrite a malformed address.
+ Make the rewrite never match and keep the logging. Trust the
+ admin to be using verify=header-syntax (to actually reject the message).
+
+JH/05 Follow symlinks for placing a watch on TLS creds files. This means
+ (under Linux) we watch the dir containing the final file; previously
+ it would be the dir with the first symlink. We still do not monitor
+ the entire path.
+
+JH/06 Check for bad chars in rDNS for sender_host_name. The OpenBSD (at least)
+ dn_expand() is happy to pass them through.
+
+JH/07 OpenSSL Fix auto-reload of changed server OCSP proof. Previously, if
+ the file with the proof had an unchanged name, the new proof(s) were
+ loaded on top of the old ones (and nover used; the old ones were stapled).
+
+JH/08 Bug 2915: Fix use-after-free for $regex<n> variables. Previously when
+ more than one message arrived in a single connection a reference from
+ the earlier message could be re-used. Often a sigsegv resulted.
+ These variables were introduced in Exim 4.87.
+ Debug help from Graeme Fowler.
+
+
+Exim version 4.96
+-----------------
+
+JH/01 Move the wait-for-next-tick (needed for unique message IDs) from
+ after reception to before a subsequent reception. This should
+ mean slightly faster delivery, and also confirmation of reception
+ to senders.
+
+JH/02 Move from using the pcre library to pcre2. The former is no longer
+ being developed or supported (by the original developer).
+
+JH/03 Constification work in the filters module required a major version
+ bump for the local-scan API. Specifically, the "headers_charset"
+ global which is visible via the API is now const and may therefore
+ not be modified by local-scan code.
+
+JH/04 Fix ClamAV TCP use under FreeBSD. Previously the OS-specific shim for
+ sendfile() didi not account for the way the ClamAV driver code called it.
+
+JH/05 Bug 2819: speed up command-line messages being read in. Previously a
+ time check was being done for every character; replace that with one
+ per buffer.
+
+JH/06 Bug 2815: Fix ALPN sent by server under OpenSSL. Previously the string
+ sent was prefixed with a length byte.
+
+JH/07 Change the SMTP feature name for pipelining connect to be compliant with
+ RFC 5321. Previously Dovecot (at least) would log errors during
+ submission.
+
+JH/08 Remove stripping of the binaries from the FreeBSD build. This was added
+ in 4.61 without a reason logged. Binaries will be bigger, which might
+ matter on diskspace-constrained systems, but debug is easier.
+
+JH/09 Fix macro-definition during "-be" expansion testing. The move to
+ write-protected store for macros had not accounted for these runtime
+ additions; fix by removing this protection for "-be" mode.
+
+JH/10 Convert all uses of select() to poll(). FreeBSD 12.2 was found to be
+ handing out large-numbered file descriptors, violating the usual Unix
+ assumption (and required by Posix) that the lowest possible number will be
+ allocated by the kernel when a new one is needed. In the daemon, and any
+ child procesees, values higher than 1024 (being bigger than FD_SETSIZE)
+ are not useable for FD_SET() [and hence select()] and overwrite the stack.
+ Assorted crashes happen.
+
+JH/11 Fix use of $sender_host_name in daemon process. When used in certain
+ main-section options or in a connect ACL, the value from the first ever
+ connection was never replaced for subsequent connections. Found by
+ Wakko Warner.
+
+JH/12 Bug 2838: Fix for i32lp64 hard-align platforms. Found for SPARC Linux,
+ though only once PCRE2 was introduced: the memory accounting used under
+ debug offset allocations by an int, giving a hard trap in early startup.
+ Change to using a size_t. Debug and fix by John Paul Adrian Glaubitz.
+
+JH/13 Bug 2845: Fix handling of tls_require_ciphers for OpenSSL when a value
+ with underbars is given. The write-protection of configuration introduced
+ in 4.95 trapped when normalisation was applied to an option not needing
+ expansion action.
+
+JH/14 Bug 1895: TLS: Deprecate RFC 5114 Diffie-Hellman parameters.
+
+JH/15 Fix a resource leak in *BSD. An off-by-one error resulted in the daemon
+ failing to close the certificates directory, every hour or any time it
+ was touched.
+
+JH/16 Debugging initiated by an ACL control now continues through into routing
+ and transport processes. Previously debugging stopped any time Exim
+ re-execs, or for processing a queued message.
+
+JH/17 The "expand" debug selector now gives more detail, specifically on the
+ result of expansion operators and items.
+
+JH/18 Bug 2751: Fix include_directory in redirect routers. Previously a
+ bad comparison between the option value and the name of the file to
+ be included was done, and a mismatch was wrongly identified.
+ 4.88 to 4.95 are affected.
+
+JH/19 Support for Berkeley DB versions 1 and 2 is withdrawn.
+
+JH/20 When built with NDBM for hints DB's check for nonexistence of a name
+ supplied as the db file-pair basename. Previously, if a directory
+ path was given, for example via the autoreply "once" option, the DB
+ file.pag and file.dir files would be created in that directory's
+ parent.
+
+JH/21 Remove the "allow_insecure_tainted_data" main config option and the
+ "taint" log_selector. These were previously deprecated.
+
+JH/22 Fix static address-list lookups to properly return the matched item.
+ Previously only the domain part was returned.
+
+JH/23 Bug 2864: FreeBSD: fix transport hang after 4xx/5xx response. Previously
+ the call into OpenSSL to send a TLS Close was being repeated; this
+ resulted in the library waiting for the peer's Close. If that was never
+ sent we waited forever. Fix by tracking send calls.
+
+JH/24 The ${run} expansion item now expands its command string elements after
+ splitting. Previously it was before; the new ordering makes handling
+ zero-length arguments simpler. The old ordering can be obtained by
+ appending a new option "preexpand", after a comma, to the "run".
+
+JH/25 Taint-check exec arguments for transport-initiated external processes.
+ Previously, tainted values could be used. This affects "pipe", "lmtp" and
+ "queryprogram" transport, transport-filter, and ETRN commands.
+ The ${run} expansion is also affected: in "preexpand" mode no part of
+ the command line may be tainted, in default mode the executable name
+ may not be tainted.
+
+JH/26 Fix CHUNKING on a continued-transport. Previously the usabliility of
+ the the facility was not passed across execs, and only the first message
+ passed over a connection could use BDAT; any further ones using DATA.
+
+JH/27 Support the PIPECONNECT facility in the smtp transport when the helo_data
+ uses $sending_ip_address and an interface is specified.
+ Previously any use of the local address in the EHLO name disabled
+ PIPECONNECT, the common case being to use the rDNS of it.
+
+JH/28 OpenSSL: fix transport-required OCSP stapling verification under session
+ resumption. Previously verify failed because no certificate status is
+ passed on the wire for the restarted session. Fix by using the recorded
+ ocsp status of the stored session for the new connection.
+
+JH/29 TLS resumption: the key for session lookup in the client now includes
+ more info that a server could potentially use in configuring a TLS
+ session, avoiding oferring mismatching sessions to such a server.
+ Previously only the server IP was used.
+
+JH/30 Fix string_copyn() for limit greater than actual string length.
+ Previously the copied amount was the limit, which could result in a
+ overlapping memcpy for newly allocated destination soon after a
+ source string shorter than the limit. Found/investigated by KM.
+
+JH/31 Bug 2886: GnuTLS: Do not free the cached creds on transport connection
+ close; it may be needed for a subsequent connection. This caused a
+ SEGV on primary-MX defer. Found/investigated by Gedalya & Andreas.
+
+JH/32 Fix CHUNKING for a second message on a connection when the first was
+ rejected. Previously we did not reset the chunking-offered state, and
+ erroneously rejected the BDAT command. Investigation help from
+ Jesse Hathaway.
+
+JH/33 Fis ${srs_encode ...} to handle an empty sender address, now returning
+ an empty address. Previously the expansion returned an error.
+
+HS/01 Bug 2855: Handle a v4mapped sender address given us by a frontending
+ proxy. Previously these were misparsed, leading to paniclog entries.
