-Exim version 4.81
+Exim version 4.91

 -----------------
 
 -----------------
 

- * New option gnutls_enable_pkcs11 defaults false; if you have GnuTLS 2.12.0
+ * DANE and SPF have been promoted from Experimental to Supported status, thus
+   the options to enable them in Local/Makefile have been renamed.
+   See current src/EDITME for full details, including changes in dependencies,
+   but loosely: replace EXPERIMENTAL_SPF with SUPPORT_SPF and replace
+   EXPERIMENTAL_DANE with SUPPORT_DANE.
+
+ * Ancient ClamAV stream support, long deprecated by ClamAV, has been removed;
+   if you were building with WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM enabled then your problems
+   have marginally increased.
+
+ * A number of logging changes; if relying upon the previous DKIM additional
+   log-line, explicit log_selector configuration is needed to keep it.
+
+ * Other incompatible changes in EXPERIMENTAL_* features, read NewStuff and
+   ChangeLog carefully if relying upon an experimental feature such as DMARC.
+   Note that this includes changes to SPF as it was promoted into Supported.
+
+
+Exim version 4.89
+-----------------
+
+ * SMTP CHUNKING in Exim 4.88 did not ensure that received mails had a final
+   newline; attempts to deliver such messages onwards to non-chunking hosts
+   would probably hang, as Exim does not insert the newline before a ".".
+   In 4.89, the newline is added upon receipt.  For already-received messages
+   in your queue, try util/chunking_fixqueue_finalnewlines.pl
+   to walk the queue, fixing any affected messages.  Note that because a
+   delivery attempt will be hanging, attempts to lock the messages for fixing
+   them will stall; stopping all queue-runners temporarily is recommended.
+
+ * OpenSSL: oldest supported release series is now 1.0.2, which is the oldest
+   supported by the OpenSSL project.  If you can build Exim with an older
+   release series, congratulations.  If you can't, then upgrade.
+   The file doc/openssl.txt contains instructions for installing a current
+   OpenSSL outside the system library paths and building Exim to use it.
+
+ * FreeBSD: we now always use the system iconv in libc, as all versions of
+   FreeBSD supported by the FreeBSD project provide this functionality.
+
+
+Exim version 4.88
+-----------------
+
+ * The "demime" ACL condition, deprecated for the past 10 years, has
+   now been removed.
+
+ * Old GnuTLS configuration options "gnutls_require_kx", "gnutls_require_mac",
+   and "gnutls_require_protocols" have now been removed.  (Inoperative from
+   4.80, per below; logging warnings since 4.83, again per below).
+
+
+Exim version 4.83
+-----------------
+
+ * SPF condition results renamed "permerror" and "temperror".  The old
+   names are still accepted for back-compatability, for this release.
+
+ * TLS details are now logged on rejects, subject to log selectors.
+
+ * Items in headers_remove lists must now have any embedded list-separators
+   doubled.
+
+ * Attempted use of the deprecated options "gnutls_require_kx" et. al.
+   now result in logged warning.
+
+
+Exim version 4.82
+-----------------
+
+ * New option gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 defaults false; if you have GnuTLS 2.12.0

    or later and do want PKCS11 modules to be autoloaded, then set this option.
 
    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.
