+ 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.

     in the presence of multiple character strings within the RR. Prior to 4.70,
     only the first string would be returned.  The dnsdb lookup now, by default,
     preserves the pre-4.70 semantics, but also now takes an extended output
-    separator specification. The first output separator is used to join
-    multiple TXT records together; use a second separator character, followed
-    by a colon, to join the strings within a TXT record on that second
-    character, or use a semicolon to concatenate strings within a TXT record
-    with no separator.  Administrators are reminded that DNS provides no
-    ordering guarantees between multiple records in an RRset.  For example:
+    separator specification.  The separator can be followed by a semicolon, to
+    concatenate the individual text strings together with no join character,
+    or by a comma and a second separator character, in which case the text
+    strings within a TXT record are joined on that second character.
+    Administrators are reminded that DNS provides no ordering guarantees
+    between multiple records in an RRset.  For example:
 
       foo.example.  IN TXT "a" "b" "c"
       foo.example.  IN TXT "d" "e" "f"
 
       ${lookup dnsdb{>/ txt=foo.example}}   -> "a/d"

 Version 4.70 / 4.71
 -------------------
 
  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).
