+Exim version 4.83
+-----------------
+
+ * SPF condition results renamed "permerror" and "temperror".  The old
+   names are still accepted for back-compatability, for this release.
+
+ * TLS details are now logged on rejects, subject to log selectors.
+
+ * Items in headers_remove lists must now have any embedded list-separators
+   doubled.
+
+ * Attempted use of the deprecated options "gnutls_require_kx" et. al.
+   now result in logged warning.
+
+
+Exim version 4.82
+-----------------
+
+ * New option gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 defaults false; if you have GnuTLS 2.12.0
+   or later and do want PKCS11 modules to be autoloaded, then set this option.
+
+ * A per-transport wait-<name> database is no longer updated if the transport
+   sets "connection_max_messages" to 1, as it can not be used and causes
+   unnecessary serialisation and load.  External tools tracking the state of
+   Exim by the hints databases may need modification to take this into account.
+
+ * The av_scanner option can now accept multiple clamd TCP targets, all other
+   setting limitations remain.

+ * For OpenSSL, SSLv2 is now disabled by default.  (GnuTLS does not support

+   you to ciphersuite downgrade attacks.

  * With OpenSSL 1.0.1+, Exim now supports TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.  If built
    against 1.0.1a then you will get a warning message and the

+ * The "tls_dhparam" option has been updated, so that it can now specify a
+   path or an identifier for a standard DH prime from one of a few RFCs.
+   The default for OpenSSL is no longer to not use DH but instead to use
+   one of these standard primes.  The default for GnuTLS is no longer to use
+   a file in the spool directory, but to use that same standard prime.
+   The option is now used by GnuTLS too.  If it points to a path, then
+   GnuTLS will use that path, instead of a file in the spool directory;
+   GnuTLS will attempt to create it if it does not exist.
+
+   To preserve the previous behaviour of generating files in the spool
+   directory, set "tls_dhparam = historic".  Since prior releases of Exim
+   ignored tls_dhparam when using GnuTLS, this can safely be done before
+   the upgrade.
