New Features in Exim
--------------------
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 as a 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.
+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 rfc4131_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.
