+Version 4.73
+------------
+
+ 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.
+
+ 3. ClamAV 0.95 is now required for ClamAV support in Exim, unless
+ Local/Makefile sets: WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM=yes
+ Note that this switches Exim to use a new API ("INSTREAM") and a future
+ release of ClamAV will remove support for the old API ("STREAM").
+
+ The av_scanner option, when set to "clamd", now takes an optional third
+ part, "local", which causes Exim to pass a filename to ClamAV instead of
+ the file content. This is the same behaviour as when clamd is pointed at
+ a Unix-domain socket. For example:
+
+ av_scanner = clamd:192.0.2.3 1234:local
+
+ 4. There is now a -bmalware option, restricted to admin users. This option
+ takes one parameter, a filename, and scans that file with Exim's
+ malware-scanning framework. This is intended purely as a debugging aid
+ to ensure that Exim's scanning is working, not to replace other tools.
+
+ 5. There is a new expansion operator, "reverse_ip", which will reverse IP
+ addresses; IPv4 into dotted quad, IPv6 into dotted nibble. Examples:
+
+ ${reverse_ip:192.0.2.4}
+ -> 4.2.0.192
+ ${reverse_ip:2001:0db8:c42:9:1:abcd:192.0.2.3}
+ -> 3.0.2.0.0.0.0.c.d.c.b.a.1.0.0.0.9.0.0.0.2.4.c.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2
+
+ 6. There is a new ACL control called "debug", to enable debug logging.
+ This allows selective logging of certain incoming transactions within
+ production environments, with some care. It takes two options, "tag"
+ and "opts"; "tag" is included in the filename of the log and "opts"
+ is used as per the -d<options> command-line option. Examples, which
+ don't all make sense in all contexts:
+
+ control = debug
+ control = debug/tag=.$sender_host_address
+ control = debug/opts=+expand+acl
+ control = debug/tag=.$message_exim_id/opts=+expand
