 New Features in Exim
 --------------------
@@ -20,6 +20,26 @@ PH/01 There is a new global option called disable_ipv6, which does exactly what
       data, etc. are also ignored. If IP literals are enabled, the ipliteral
       router declines to handle IPv6 literal addresses.
 
+PH/02 There are now 20 of each type of ACL variable by default (instead of 10).
+      It is also possible to change the numbers by setting ACL_CVARS and/or
+      ACL_MVARS in Local/Makefile. Backward compatibility is maintained if you
+      upgrade to this release with existing messages containing ACL variable
+      settings on the queue. However, going in the other direction
+      (downgrading) will not be compatible; the values of ACL variables will be
+      lost.
+
+PH/03 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
+      adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
+      errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
+
+PH/04 The variables $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 are now available in authenticators,
+      containing the same values as $1, $2, $3. The new variables are provided
+      because the numerical variables can be reset during string expansions
+      (for example, during a "match" operation) and so may lose the
+      authentication data. The preferred variables are now the new ones, with
+      the use of the numerical ones being deprecated, though the support will
+      not be removed, at least, not for a long time.
