 TF/01 Added $received_time.
 
+PH/14 Modified the default configuration to add an acl_smtp_data ACL, with
+      commented out examples of how to interface to a virus scanner and to
+      SpamAssassin. Also added commented examples of av_scanner and
+      spamd_address settings.
+
+PH/15 Further to TK/02 and TK/03 above, tidied up the tables of what conditions
+      and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor
+      errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of
+      where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a
+      negation of where the condition IS allowed.
+
+PH/16 Installed updated OS/os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer.
+
+PH/17 The API for radiusclient changed at release 0.4.0. Unfortunately, the
+      header file does not have a version number, so I've had to invent a new
+      value for RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, namely "RADIUSCLIENTNEW" to request the new
+      API. The code is untested by me (my Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of
+      radiusclient), but it was contributed by a Radius user.
+
+PH/18 Installed Lars Mainka's patch for the support of CRL collections in
+      files or directories, for OpenSSL.
+
+PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
+      file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
+      ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
+      the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
+      fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
+      for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
+      run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
+      for failure.
