 New Features in Exim
 --------------------
@@ -8,41 +8,52 @@ but have not yet made it into the main manual (which is most conveniently
 updated when there is a relatively large batch of changes). The doc/ChangeLog
 file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes.
 
-
-Version 4.51
+Version 4.61
 ------------
 
-PH/01. The format in which GnuTLS parameters are written to the gnutls-param
-       file in the spool directory has been changed. This change has been made
-       to alleviate problems that some people had with the generation of the
-       parameters by Exim when /dev/random was exhausted. In this situation,
-       Exim would hang until /dev/random acquired some more entropy.
+The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.61 release. Major new features since
+the 4.60 release are:
+
+. An option called disable_ipv6, to disable the use of IPv6 completely.
+
+. An increase in the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type.
+
+. A change to use $auth1, $auth2, and $auth3 in authenticators instead of $1,
+  $2, $3, (though those are still set) because the numeric variables get used
+  for other things in complicated expansions.
 
-       The new code exports and imports the DH and RSA parameters in PEM
-       format. This means that the parameters can be generated externally using
-       the certtool command that is part of GnuTLS.
+. The default for rfc4131_query_timeout has been changed from 30s to 5s.
 
-       To replace the parameters with new ones, instead of deleting the file
-       and letting Exim re-create it, you can generate new parameters using
-       certtool and, when this has been done, replace Exim's cache file by
-       renaming. The relevant commands are something like this:
+. It is possible to use setclassresources() on some BSD OS to control the
+  resources used in pipe deliveries.
 
-         # rm -f new.params
-         # touch new.params
-         # chown exim:exim new.params
-         # chmod 0400 new.params
-         # certtool --generate-privkey --bits 512 >new.params
-         # echo "" >>new.params
-         # certtool --generate-dh-params --bits 1024 >> new.params
-         # mv new.params params
+. A new ACL modifier called add_header, which can be used with any verb.
 
-       If Exim never has to generate the parameters itself, the possibility of
-       stalling is removed.
+. More errors are detectable in retry rules.
 
+There are a number of other additions too.
