+Version 4.96
+------------
+
+ 1. A new ACL condition: seen. Records/tests a timestamp against a key.
+
+ 2. A variant of the "mask" expansion operator to give normalised IPv6.
+
+ 3. UTC output option for exim_dumpdb, exim_fixdb.
+
+ 4. An event for failing TLS connects to the daemon.
+
+ 5. Tainted data used for a query-style lookup should be quoted using the
+ expansion item for the lookup type. If not, a warning will be written to
+ the main and panic logs. A future release will enforce this by failing
+ the lookup.
+
+ 6. The ACL "debug" control gains a "stop" option.
+
+
+Version 4.95
+------------
+
+ 1. The fast-ramp two phase queue run support, previously experimental, is
+ now supported by default.
+
+ 2. The native SRS support, previously experimental, is now supported. It is
+ not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile.
+
+ 3. TLS resumption support, previously experimental, is now supported and
+ included in default builds.
+
+ 4. Single-key LMDB lookups, previously experimental, are now supported.
+ The support is not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile.
+
+ 5. Option "message_linelength_limit" on the smtp transport to enforce (by
+ default) the RFC 998 character limit.
+
+ 6. An option to ignore the cache on a lookup.
+
+ 7. Quota checking during reception (i.e. at SMTP time) for appendfile-
+ transport-managed quotas.
+
+ 8. Sqlite lookups accept a "file=<path>" option to specify a per-operation
+ db file, replacing the previous prefix to the SQL string (which had
+ issues when the SQL used tainted values).
+
+ 9. Lsearch lookups accept a "ret=full" option, to return both the portion
+ of the line matching the key, and the remainder.
+
+10. A command-line option to have a daemon not create a notifier socket.
+
+11. Faster TLS startup. When various configuration options contain no
+ expandable elements, the information can be preloaded and cached rather
+ than the previous behaviour of always loading at startup time for every
+ connection. This helps particularly for the CA bundle.
+
+12. Proxy Protocol Timeout is configurable via "proxy_protocol_timeout"
+ main config option.
+
+13. Option "smtp_accept_max_per_connection" is now expanded.
+
+14. Log selector "queue_time_exclusive", enabled by default, to exclude the
+ time taken for reception from QT log elements.
+
+15. Main option "smtp_backlog_monitor", to set a level above which listen
+ socket backlogs are logged.
+
+16. Main option "hosts_require_helo", requiring HELO or EHLO before MAIL.
+
+17. A main config option "allow_insecure_tainted_data" allows to turn
+
+18. TLS ALPN handling. By default, refuse TLS connections that try to specify
+ a non-smtp (eg. http) use. Options for customising.
+
+19. Support for MacOS (darwin) has been dropped.

+ 4. Client-side support in the gsasl authenticator. Tested against the
plaintext driver for PLAIN; only against itself for SCRAM-SHA-1 and
SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS methods.
7. Named-list definitions can now be prefixed "hide" so that "-bP" commands do
not output the content. Previously this could only be done on options.
- 8. As an exerimental feature, the dovecot authenticatino driver supports inet
+ 8. As an experimental feature, the dovecot authentication driver supports inet
sockets. Previously it was unix-domain sockets only.
9. The ACL control "queue_only" can also be spelled "queue", and now takes an
15. Options on pgsql and mysql lookups, to specify server separate from the
lookup string.
-16. Expansion item ${listquote {<char} {<item>}}.
+16. An option on all single-key lookups, to return (on a hit) a de-tainted
+ version of the lookup key rather than the looked-up data.
+
+17. $domain_data and $local_part_data are now set by all list-match successes.
+ Previously only list items that performed lookups did so.
+ Also, matching list items that are tail-match or RE-match now set the

-17. An option for the ${readsocket {}{}{}} expansion to make the result data

cacheable.

15: Support under OpenSSL for writing NSS-style key files for packet-capture
decode. The environment variable SSLKEYLOGFILE is used; if an absolute path
it must indicate a file under the spool directory; if relative the the spool
- directory is prepended. Works on the server side only. Support under
+ directory is prepended. Works on the server side only. Support under
GnuTLS was already there, being done purely by the library (server side
only, and exim must be run as root).
