+TF/01 There's a new script in util/ratelimit.pl which extracts sending
+      rates from log files, to assist with choosing appropriate settings
+      when deploying the ratelimit ACL condition.
+
+PH/13 A new letter, "H", is available in retry parameter sets. It is similar
+      to "G" (geometric increasing time intervals), except that the interval
+      before the next retry is randomized. Each time, the previous interval is
+      multiplied by the factor in order to get a maximum for the next interval.
+      The mininum interval is the first argument of the parameter, and an
+      actual interval is chosen randomly between them. Such a rule has been
+      found to be helpful in cluster configurations when all the members of the
+      cluster restart at once, and may synchronize their queue processing
+      times.
+
+PH/14 The options never_users, trusted_users, admin_groups, and trusted_groups
+      are now expanded when the configuration file is read.
