+
+ 1. A new main configuration option, "openssl_options", is available if Exim
+    is built with SSL support provided by OpenSSL.  The option allows
+    administrators to specify OpenSSL options to be used on connections;
+    typically this is to set bug compatibility features which the OpenSSL
+    developers have not enabled by default.  There may be security
+    consequences for certain options, so these should not be changed
+    frivolously.
+
+ 2. A new pipe transport option, "permit_coredumps", may help with problem
+    diagnosis in some scenarios.  Note that Exim is typically installed as
+    a setuid binary, which on most OSes will inhibit coredumps by default,
+    so that safety mechanism would have to be overriden for this option to
+    be able to take effect.

  1. Native DKIM support without an external library.
+    (Note that if no action to prevent it is taken, a straight upgrade will
+    result in DKIM verification of all signed incoming emails.  See spec
+    for details on conditionally disabling)
 
  2. Experimental DCC support via dccifd (contributed by Wolfgang Breyha).
