+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 spoofile name can
+    be included in the command line.
+
+ 5. When built with OpenSSL 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.
