affect Exim's operation, with an unchanged configuration file. For new
options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog.
+Since version 4.98
+------------------
+
+JH/01 Use fewer forks & execs for sending many messages to a single host.
+ By passing back more info from the transport to the delivery process,
+ we can loop there. A two-phase queue run will benefit, particularly for
+ mailinglist and smarthost cases.
+
+JH/02 Add transaction support for hintsdbs. The sole initial provider is
+ sqlite, and is used for the wait-transport and retry DBs. Transactions
+ imply locking internal to the DB. We no longer need a separate lockfile,
+ can keep the DB handle open for extended periods, yet potentially benefit
+ from concurrency on non-conflicting record uses.
+
+JH/03 With dkim_verify_minimal, avoid calling the DKIM ACL after the first
+ good verify.

Exim version 4.98
-----------------
JH/30 Bug 3029: Avoid feeding Resent-From: to DMARC.
+JH/31 Bug 3027: For -bh / -bhc tests change to using the compressed form of
+ ipv6 addresses for the sender. Previously the uncompressed form was used,
+ and if used in textual form this would result in behavior difference
+ versus non-bh.
+
+JH/32 Bug 3096: MAIL before HELO/EHLO, where required by hosts_require_helo, is
+ now classed as a protocol error and subject to smtp_max_synprot_errors.
+
+JH/33 Bug 2994: A subdir dsearch lookup should permit a directory name that starts
+ ".." and has following characters.
+
+JH/34 Fix delivery ordering for 2-phase queue run combined with
+ queue_run_in_order.
