+Version 4.62
+------------
+
+1. The ${readsocket expansion item now supports Internet domain sockets as well
+   as Unix domain sockets. If the first argument begins "inet:", it must be of
+   the form "inet:host:port". The port is mandatory; it may be a number or the
+   name of a TCP port in /etc/services. The host may be a name, or it may be an
+   IP address. An ip address may optionally be enclosed in square brackets.
+   This is best for IPv6 addresses. For example:
+
+     ${readsocket{inet:[::1]:1234}{<request data>}...
+
+   Only a single host name may be given, but if looking it up yield more than
+   one IP address, they are each tried in turn until a connection is made. Once
+   a connection has been made, the behaviour is as for ${readsocket with a Unix
+   domain socket.
+
+2. If a redirect router sets up file or pipe deliveries for more than one
+   incoming address, and the relevant transport has batch_max set greater than
+   one, a batch delivery now occurs.

 
 

-Version 4.51
+3. The appendfile transport has a new option called maildirfolder_create_regex.
+   Its value is a regular expression. For a maildir delivery, this is matched
+   against the maildir directory; if it matches, Exim ensures that a
+   maildirfolder file is created alongside the new, cur, and tmp directories.
+
+
+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 rfc1413_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.
