 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
@@ -52,6 +52,40 @@ JJ/01 exipick: fixed bug where -b (brief) output option showed "Vars:"
 JJ/02 exipick: Added support for new ACL variable spool format introduced
       in 4.61-PH/06
 
+PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
+      syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
+      generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
+      autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
+      name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
+      it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
+      bounce message.
+
+PH/11 The exinext utility has a -C option for testing purposes, but although
+      the given file was scanned by exinext itself; it wasn't being passed on
+      when Exim was called.
+
+PH/12 In the smtp transport, treat an explicit ECONNRESET error the same as
+      an end-of-file indication when reading a command response.
+
+PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was
+      compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always
+      recognized, so I have changed this. It also means that IPv4 domain
+      literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.
+
+PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
+      used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
+      ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
+      non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
+      changes:
+
+      (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
+          in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
+          suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
+
+      (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
+          outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
+          the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.
