+Version 4.62
+------------
+
+1. The ${readsocket expansion item now supports Internet domain sockets as well
+   as Unix domain sockets. If the first argument begins "inet:", it must be of
+   the form "inet:host:port". The port is mandatory; it may be a number or the
+   name of a TCP port in /etc/services. The host may be a name, or it may be an
+   IP address. An ip address may optionally be enclosed in square brackets.
+   This is best for IPv6 addresses. For example:
+
+     ${readsocket{inet:[::1]:1234}{<request data>}...
+
+   Only a single host name may be given, but if looking it up yield more than
+   one IP address, they are each tried in turn until a connection is made. Once
+   a connection has been made, the behaviour is as for ${readsocket with a Unix
+   domain socket.
+
+2. If a redirect router sets up file or pipe deliveries for more than one
+   incoming address, and the relevant transport has batch_max set greater than
+   one, a batch delivery now occurs.

 Version 4.61

 Version 4.61
 ------------
 

-PH/01 There is a new global option called disable_ipv6, which does exactly what
-      its name implies. If set true, even if the Exim binary has IPv6 support,
-      no IPv6 activities take place. AAAA records are never looked up for host
-      names given in manual routing data or elsewhere. AAAA records that are
-      received from the DNS as additional data for MX records are ignored. Any
-      IPv6 addresses that are listed in local_interfaces, manualroute route
-      data, etc. are also ignored. If IP literals are enabled, the ipliteral
-      router declines to handle IPv6 literal addresses.
-
-PH/01 There are now 20 of each type of ACL variable by default (instead of 10).
-      It is also possible to change the numbers by setting ACL_CVARS and/or
-      ACL_MVARS in Local/Makefile. Backward compatibility is maintained if you
-      upgrade to this release with existing messages containing ACL variable
-      settings on the queue. However, going in the other direction
-      (downgrading) will not be compatible; the values of ACL variables will be
-      lost.
+The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.61 release. Major new features since
+the 4.60 release are:
+
+. An option called disable_ipv6, to disable the use of IPv6 completely.
+
+. An increase in the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type.
+
+. A change to use $auth1, $auth2, and $auth3 in authenticators instead of $1,
+  $2, $3, (though those are still set) because the numeric variables get used
+  for other things in complicated expansions.
+
+. The default for rfc1413_query_timeout has been changed from 30s to 5s.
+
+. It is possible to use setclassresources() on some BSD OS to control the
+  resources used in pipe deliveries.
+
+. A new ACL modifier called add_header, which can be used with any verb.
+
+. More errors are detectable in retry rules.
+
+There are a number of other additions too.
