+Version 4.92
+--------------
+
+ 1. ${l_header:<name>} and ${l_h:<name>} expansion items, giving a colon-sep
+ list when there are multiple headers having a given name. This matters
+ when individual headers are wrapped onto multiple lines; with previous
+ facilities hard to parse.
+
+ 2. The ${readsocket } expansion item now takes a "tls" option, doing the
+ obvious thing.
+
+ 3. EXPERIMENTAL_REQUIRETLS and EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT optional build
+ features. See the experimental.spec file.
+
+ 4. If built with SUPPORT_I18N a "utf8_downconvert" option on the smtp transport.
+
+ 5. A "pipelining" log_selector.
+
+ 6. Builtin macros for supported log_selector and openssl_options values.
+
+ 7. JSON variants of the ${extract } expansion item.
+
+ 8. A "noutf8" debug option, for disabling the UTF-8 characters in debug output.
+
+ 9. TCP Fast Open support on MacOS.
+
+Version 4.91
+--------------
+
+ 1. Dual-certificate stacks on servers now support OCSP stapling, under GnuTLS
+ version 3.5.6 or later.
+
+ 2. DANE is now supported under GnuTLS version 3.0.0 or later. Both GnuTLS and
+ OpenSSL versions are moved to mainline support from Experimental.
+ New SMTP transport option "dane_require_tls_ciphers".
+
+ 3. Feature macros for the compiled-in set of malware scanner interfaces.
+
+ 4. SPF support is promoted from Experimental to mainline status. The template
+ src/EDITME makefile does not enable its inclusion.
+
+ 5. Logging control for DKIM verification. The existing DKIM log line is
+ controlled by a "dkim_verbose" selector which is _not_ enabled by default.
+ A new tag "DKIM=<domain>" is added to <= lines by default, controlled by
+ a "dkim" log_selector.
+
+ 6. Receive duration on <= lines, under a new log_selector "receive_time".
+
+ 7. Options "ipv4_only" and "ipv4_prefer" on the dnslookup router and on
+ routing rules in the manualroute router.
+
+ 8. Expansion item ${sha3:<string>} / ${sha3_<N>:<string>} now also supported
+ under OpenSSL version 1.1.1 or later.
+
+ 9. DKIM operations can now use the Ed25519 algorithm in addition to RSA, under
+ GnuTLS 3.6.0 or OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later.
+
+10. Builtin feature-macros _CRYPTO_HASH_SHA3 and _CRYPTO_SIGN_ED25519, library
+ version dependent.
+
+11. "exim -bP macro <name>" returns caller-usable status.
+
+12. Expansion item ${authresults {<machine>}} for creating an
+ Authentication-Results: header.
+
+13. EXPERIMENTAL_ARC. See the experimental.spec file.
+ See also new util/renew-opendmarc-tlds.sh script for use with DMARC/ARC.
+
+14: A dane:fail event, intended to facilitate reporting.
+
+15. "Lightweight" support for Redis Cluster. Requires redis_servers list to
+ contain all the servers in the cluster, all of which must be reachable from
+ the running exim instance. If the cluster has master/slave replication, the
+ list must contain all the master and slave servers.
+
+16. Add an option to the Avast scanner interface: "pass_unscanned". This
+ allows to treat unscanned files as clean. Files may be unscanned for
+ several reasons: decompression bombs, broken archives.
+
+
+Version 4.90
+------------
+
+ 1. PKG_CONFIG_PATH can now be set in Local/Makefile;
+ wildcards will be expanded, values are collapsed.
+
+ 2. The ${readsocket } expansion now takes an option to not shutdown the
+ connection after sending the query string. The default remains to do so.
+
+ 3. An smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" to control whether multiple
+ deliveries on a single TCP connection can maintain a TLS connection
+ open. By default disabled for all hosts, doing so saves the cost of
+ making new TLS sessions, at the cost of having to proxy the data via
+ another process. Logging is also affected.
+
+ 4. A malware connection type for the FPSCAND protocol.
+
+ 5. An option for recipient verify callouts to hold the connection open for
+ further recipients and for delivery.
+
+ 6. The reproducible build $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is now
+ supported.
+
+ 7. Optionally, an alternate format for spool data-files which matches the
+ wire format - meaning more efficient reception and transmission (at the
+ cost of difficulty with standard Unix tools). Only used for messages
+ received using the ESMTP CHUNKING option, and when a new main-section
+ option "spool_wireformat" (false by default) is set.
+
+ 8. New main configuration option "commandline_checks_require_admin" to
+ restrict who can use various introspection options.
+
+ 9. New option modifier "no_check" for quota and quota_filecount
+ appendfile transport.
+
+10. Variable $smtp_command_history returning a comma-sep list of recent
+ SMTP commands.
+
+11. Millisecond timetamps in logs, on log_selector "millisec". Also affects
+ log elements QT, DT and D, and timstamps in debug output.
+
+12. TCP Fast Open logging. As a server, logs when the SMTP banner was sent
+ while still in SYN_RECV state; as a client logs when the connection
+ is opened with a TFO cookie.
+
+13. DKIM support for multiple signing, by domain and/or key-selector.
+ DKIM support for multiple hashes, and for alternate-identity tags.
+ Builtin macro with default list of signed headers.
+ Better syntax for specifying oversigning.
+ The DKIM ACL can override verification status, and status is visible in
+ the data ACL.
+
+14. Exipick understands -C|--config for an alternative Exim
+ configuration file.
+
+15. TCP Fast Open used, with data-on-SYN, for client SMTP via SOCKS5 proxy,
+ for ${readsocket } expansions, and for ClamAV.
+
+16. The "-be" expansion test mode now supports macros. Macros are expanded
+ in test lines, and new macros can be defined.
+
+17. Support for server-side dual-certificate-stacks (eg. RSA + ECDSA).
+
+
+Version 4.89
+------------
+
+ 1. Allow relative config file names for ".include"
+
+ 2. A main-section config option "debug_store" to control the checks on
+ variable locations during store-reset. Normally false but can be enabled
+ when a memory corrution issue is suspected on a production system.
+
+
+Version 4.88
+------------
+
+ 1. The new perl_taintmode option allows to run the embedded perl
+ interpreter in taint mode.
+
+ 2. New log_selector: dnssec, adds a "DS" tag to acceptance and delivery lines.
+
+ 3. Speculative debugging, via a "kill" option to the "control=debug" ACL
+ modifier.
+
+ 4. New expansion item ${sha3:<string>} / ${sha3_<N>:<string>}.
+ N can be 224, 256 (default), 384, 512.
+ With GnuTLS 3.5.0 or later, only.
+
+ 5. Facility for named queues: A command-line argument can specify
+ the queue name for a queue operation, and an ACL modifier can set
+ the queue to be used for a message. A $queue_name variable gives
+ visibility.
+
+ 6. New expansion operators base32/base32d.
+
+ 7. The CHUNKING ESMTP extension from RFC 3030. May give some slight
+ performance increase and network load decrease. Main config option
+ chunking_advertise_hosts, and smtp transport option hosts_try_chunking
+ for control.
+
+ 8. LMDB lookup support, as Experimental. Patch supplied by Andrew Colin Kissa.
+
+ 9. Expansion operator escape8bit, like escape but not touching newline etc..
+
+10. Feature macros, generated from compile options. All start with "_HAVE_"
+ and go on with some roughly recognisable name. Driver macros, for
+ router, transport and authentication drivers; names starting with "_DRIVER_".
+ Option macros, for each configuration-file option; all start with "_OPT_".
+ Use the "-bP macros" command-line option to see what is present.
+
+11. Integer values for options can take a "G" multiplier.
+
+12. defer=pass option for the ACL control cutthrough_delivery, to reflect 4xx
+ returns from the target back to the initiator, rather than spooling the
+ message.
+
+13. New built-in constants available for tls_dhparam and default changed.
+
+14. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_QUEUEFILE, a queuefile transport, for writing
+ out copies of the message spool files for use by 3rd-party scanners.
+
+15. A new option on the smtp transport, hosts_try_fastopen. If the system
+ supports it (on Linux it must be enabled in the kernel by the sysadmin)
+ try to use RFC 7413 "TCP Fast Open". No data is sent on the SYN segment
+ but it permits a peer that also supports the facility to send its SMTP
+ banner immediately after the SYN,ACK segment rather then waiting for
+ another ACK - so saving up to one roundtrip time. Because it requires
+ previous communication with the peer (we save a cookie from it) this
+ will only become active on frequently-contacted destinations.
+
+16. A new syslog_pid option to suppress PID duplication in syslog lines.
+
+
+Version 4.87
+------------
+
+ 1. The ACL conditions regex and mime_regex now capture substrings
+ into numeric variables $regex1 to 9, like the "match" expansion condition.
+
+ 2. New $callout_address variable records the address used for a spam=,
+ malware= or verify= callout.
+
+ 3. Transports now take a "max_parallel" option, to limit concurrency.
+
+ 4. Expansion operators ${ipv6norm:<string>} and ${ipv6denorm:<string>}.
+ The latter expands to a 8-element colon-sep set of hex digits including
+ leading zeroes. A trailing ipv4-style dotted-decimal set is converted
+ to hex. Pure ipv4 addresses are converted to IPv4-mapped IPv6.
+ The former operator strips leading zeroes and collapses the longest
+ set of 0-groups to a double-colon.
+
+ 5. New "-bP config" support, to dump the effective configuration.
+
+ 6. New $dkim_key_length variable.
+
+ 7. New base64d and base64 expansion items (the existing str2b64 being a
+ synonym of the latter). Add support in base64 for certificates.
+
+ 8. New main configuration option "bounce_return_linesize_limit" to
+ avoid oversize bodies in bounces. The default value matches RFC
+ limits.
+
+ 9. New $initial_cwd expansion variable.
+
+
+Version 4.86
+------------
+
+ 1. Support for using the system standard CA bundle.
+
+ 2. New expansion items $config_file, $config_dir, containing the file
+ and directory name of the main configuration file. Also $exim_version.
+
+ 3. New "malware=" support for Avast.
+
+ 4. New "spam=" variant option for Rspamd.
+
+ 5. Assorted options on malware= and spam= scanners.
+
+ 6. A command-line option to write a comment into the logfile.
+
+ 7. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS feature enabled, the smtp transport can
+ be configured to make connections via socks5 proxies.
+
+ 8. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_INTERNATIONAL, support is included for
+ the transmission of UTF-8 envelope addresses.
+
+ 9. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_INTERNATIONAL, an expansion item for a commonly
+ used encoding of Maildir folder names.
+
+10. A logging option for slow DNS lookups.
+
+11. New ${env {<variable>}} expansion.
+
+12. A non-SMTP authenticator using information from TLS client certificates.
+
+13. Main option "tls_eccurve" for selecting an Elliptic Curve for TLS.
+ Patch originally by Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+14. Main option "dns_trust_aa" for trusting your local nameserver at the
+ same level as DNSSEC.
+
+
+Version 4.85
+------------
+
+ 1. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_DANE feature enabled, Exim will follow the
+ DANE SMTP draft to assess a secure chain of trust of the certificate
+ used to establish the TLS connection based on a TLSA record in the
+ domain of the sender.
+
+ 2. The EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA feature has been renamed to EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT
+ and several new events have been created. The reason is because it has
+ been expanded beyond just firing events during the transport phase. Any
+ existing TPDA transport options will have to be rewritten to use a new
+ $event_name expansion variable in a condition. Refer to the
+ experimental-spec.txt for details and examples.
+
+ 3. The EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES features is an enhancement to verify that
+ server certs used for TLS match the result of the MX lookup. It does
+ not use the same mechanism as DANE.
+
+
+Version 4.84
+------------
+
+
+Version 4.83
+------------
+
+ 1. If built with the EXPERIMENTAL_PROXY feature enabled, Exim can be
+ configured to expect an initial header from a proxy that will make the
+ actual external source IP:host be used in exim instead of the IP of the
+ proxy that is connecting to it.
+
+ 2. New verify option header_names_ascii, which will check to make sure
+ there are no non-ASCII characters in header names. Exim itself handles
+ those non-ASCII characters, but downstream apps may not, so Exim can
+ detect and reject if those characters are present.
+
+ 3. New expansion operator ${utf8clean:string} to replace malformed UTF8
+ codepoints with valid ones.
+
+ 4. New malware type "sock". Talks over a Unix or TCP socket, sending one
+ command line and matching a regex against the return data for trigger
+ and a second regex to extract malware_name. The mail spoolfile name can
+ be included in the command line.
+
+ 5. The smtp transport now supports options "tls_verify_hosts" and
+ "tls_try_verify_hosts". If either is set the certificate verification
+ is split from the encryption operation. The default remains that a failed
+ verification cancels the encryption.
+
+ 6. New SERVERS override of default ldap server list. In the ACLs, an ldap
+ lookup can now set a list of servers to use that is different from the
+ default list.
+
+ 7. New command-line option -C for exiqgrep to specify alternate exim.conf
+ file when searching the queue.
+
+ 8. OCSP now supports GnuTLS also, if you have version 3.1.3 or later of that.
+
+ 9. Support for DNSSEC on outbound connections.
+
+10. New variables "tls_(in,out)_(our,peer)cert" and expansion item
+ "certextract" to extract fields from them. Hash operators md5 and sha1
+ work over them for generating fingerprints, and a new sha256 operator
+ for them added.
+
+11. PRDR is now supported dy default.
+
+12. OCSP stapling is now supported by default.
+
+13. If built with the EXPERIMENTAL_DSN feature enabled, Exim will output
+ Delivery Status Notification messages in MIME format, and negotiate
+ DSN features per RFC 3461.
