+Version 4.97
+------------
+
+ 1. The expansion-test faciility (exim -be) can set variables.
+
+ 2. An event on a failing SMTP AUTH, for both client and server operations.
+
+ 3. Variable $sender_helo_verified with the result of an ACL "verify = helo".
+
+ 4. Predefined macros for expansion items, operators, conditions and variables.
+
+ 5. The smtp transport option "max_rcpt" is now expanded before use.
+
+ 6. The tls_eccurve option for OpenSSL now takes a list of group names.
+
+ 7. Queue runners for several queues can now be started from one daemon.
+
+ 8. New utility exim_msgdate converts message-ids to human readable format.
+
+ 9. An expansion operator for wrapping long header lines.
+
+ 10. A commandline option to print just the message IDs of the queue
+
+ 11. An option for the ${readsocket } expansion to set an SNI for TLS.
+
+ 12. The ACL remove_header modifier can take a pattern.
+
+ 13. Variable $recipients_list, a properly-quoted exim list.
+
+ 14. A log_selector for an incoming connection ID.
+
+Version 4.96
+------------
+
+ 1. A new ACL condition: seen. Records/tests a timestamp against a key.
+
+ 2. A variant of the "mask" expansion operator to give normalised IPv6.
+
+ 3. UTC output option for exim_dumpdb, exim_fixdb.
+
+ 4. An event for failing TLS connects to the daemon.
+
+ 5. The ACL "debug" control gains options "stop", "pretrigger" and "trigger".
+
+ 6. Query-style lookups are now checked for quoting, if the query string is
+ built using untrusted data ("tainted"). For now lack of quoting is merely
+ logged; a future release will upgrade this to an error.
+
+ 7. The expansion conditions match_<list-type> and inlist now set $value for
+ the expansion of the "true" result of the ${if}. With a static list, this
+ can be used for de-tainting.
+
+ 8. Recipient verify callouts now set $domain_data & $local_part_data, with
+ de-tainted values.
+
+Version 4.95
+------------
+
+ 1. The fast-ramp two phase queue run support, previously experimental, is
+ now supported by default.
+
+ 2. The native SRS support, previously experimental, is now supported. It is
+ not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile.
+
+ 3. TLS resumption support, previously experimental, is now supported and
+ included in default builds.
+
+ 4. Single-key LMDB lookups, previously experimental, are now supported.
+ The support is not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile.
+
+ 5. Option "message_linelength_limit" on the smtp transport to enforce (by
+ default) the RFC 998 character limit.
+
+ 6. An option to ignore the cache on a lookup.
+
+ 7. Quota checking during reception (i.e. at SMTP time) for appendfile-
+ transport-managed quotas.
+
+ 8. Sqlite lookups accept a "file=<path>" option to specify a per-operation
+ db file, replacing the previous prefix to the SQL string (which had
+ issues when the SQL used tainted values).
+
+ 9. Lsearch lookups accept a "ret=full" option, to return both the portion
+ of the line matching the key, and the remainder.
+
+10. A command-line option to have a daemon not create a notifier socket.
+
+11. Faster TLS startup. When various configuration options contain no
+ expandable elements, the information can be preloaded and cached rather
+ than the previous behaviour of always loading at startup time for every
+ connection. This helps particularly for the CA bundle.
+
+12. Proxy Protocol Timeout is configurable via "proxy_protocol_timeout"
+ main config option.
+
+13. Option "smtp_accept_max_per_connection" is now expanded.
+
+14. Log selector "queue_time_exclusive", enabled by default, to exclude the
+ time taken for reception from QT log elements.
+
+15. Main option "smtp_backlog_monitor", to set a level above which listen
+ socket backlogs are logged.
+
+16. Main option "hosts_require_helo", requiring HELO or EHLO before MAIL.
+
+17. A main config option "allow_insecure_tainted_data" allows to turn
+
+18. TLS ALPN handling. By default, refuse TLS connections that try to specify
+ a non-smtp (eg. http) use. Options for customising.
+
+19. Support for MacOS (darwin) has been dropped.
+
+
Version 4.94
------------
7. Named-list definitions can now be prefixed "hide" so that "-bP" commands do
not output the content. Previously this could only be done on options.
- 8. As an exerimental feature, the dovecot authenticatino driver supports inet
+ 8. As an experimental feature, the dovecot authentication driver supports inet
sockets. Previously it was unix-domain sockets only.
9. The ACL control "queue_only" can also be spelled "queue", and now takes an
16. An option on all single-key lookups, to return (on a hit) a de-tainted
version of the lookup key rather than the looked-up data.
-17. $domain_data and $localpart_data are now set by all list-match successes.
+17. $domain_data and $local_part_data are now set by all list-match successes.
Previously only list items that performed lookups did so.
Also, matching list items that are tail-match or RE-match now set the
numeric variables $0 (etc) in the same way os other RE matches.
