 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
 
+Exim version 4.61
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
+      system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
+      systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
+      code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
+      IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
+      that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
+      addresses as local.
+
+PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@
+      [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix.
+
+PH/03 Added disable_ipv6.

 Exim version 4.60

@@ -134,6 +151,38 @@ PH/15 If the first argument of "${if match_address" was not empty, but did not
       contain an "@" character, Exim crashed. Now it writes a panic log message
       and treats the condition as false.
 
+PH/16 In autoreply, treat an empty string for "once" the same as unset.
+
+PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve
+      extension "envelope-auth".  The code is finished and in agreement with
+      other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact,
+      nobody wrote the draft yet.  This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
+      not changing the active code.
+
+      Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This
+      helps a great deal to understand what a filter does.
+
+      Document more things not specified clearly in RFC3028.  I had all this
+      sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind.  Oops."
+
+PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists
+      (Bugzilla #53).
+
+PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
+      canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
+      the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
+      addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
+      have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
+      addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
+      fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
+      by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
+      the text comparison.
+
+PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
+      given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
+      form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
+      The same fix has been applied.

 Exim version 4.54
