+Exim version 4.61
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
+      system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
+      systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
+      code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
+      IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
+      that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
+      addresses as local.
+
+PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@
+      [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix.
+
+PH/03 Added disable_ipv6.
+
+PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the
+      decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers
+      lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
+      invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
+      newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
+      grumble.
+
+PH/05 If group was specified without a user on a router, and no group or user
+      was specified on a transport, the group from the router was ignored.
+
+PH/06 Increased the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type, and arranged
+      for visible compile-time settings that can be used to change these
+      numbers, for those that want even more. Backwards compatibility with old
+      spool files has been maintained. However, going back to a previous Exim
+      release will lost any variables that are in spool files.
+
+PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when
+      passing a TCP/IP connection to a new process, in case the original
+      process has to generate a bounce, and remove special handling of
+      127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary.
+
+PH/08 Changed debug output of dbfn_open() flags from numbers to names, so as to
+      be the same on different OS.
+
+PH/09 Moved a debug statement in filter processing to avoid a race problem when
+      testing.

+PH/13 After a successful wildlsearch lookup, discard the values of numeric
+      variables because (a) they are in the wrong storage pool and (b) even if
+      they were copied, it wouldn't work properly because of the caching.
+
+PH/14 Add check_rfc2047_length to disable enforcement of RFC 2047 length
+      checking when decoding. Apparently there are clients that generate
+      overlong encoded strings. Why am I not surprised?
+
+PH/15 If the first argument of "${if match_address" was not empty, but did not
+      contain an "@" character, Exim crashed. Now it writes a panic log message
+      and treats the condition as false.
+
+PH/16 In autoreply, treat an empty string for "once" the same as unset.
+
+PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve
+      extension "envelope-auth".  The code is finished and in agreement with
+      other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact,
+      nobody wrote the draft yet.  This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
+      not changing the active code.
+
+      Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This
+      helps a great deal to understand what a filter does.
+
+      Document more things not specified clearly in RFC3028.  I had all this
+      sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind.  Oops."
+
+PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists
+      (Bugzilla #53).
+
+PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
+      canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
+      the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
+      addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
+      have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
+      addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
+      fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
+      by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
+      the text comparison.
+
+PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
+      given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
+      form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
+      The same fix has been applied.
