+Exim version 4.64
+-----------------
+
+1. Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
+hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
+probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
+callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
+changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
+instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
+there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
+addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used. This change is mentioned here in
+case somebody is relying on the use of $smtp_active_hostname.
+
+
+Exim version 4.63
+-----------------
+
+When an SMTP error message is specified in a "message" modifier in an ACL, or
+in a :fail: or :defer: message in a redirect router, Exim now checks the start
+of the message for an SMTP error code. This consists of three digits followed
+by a space, optionally followed by an extended code of the form n.n.n, also
+followed by a space. If this is the case and the very first digit is the same
+as the default error code, the code from the message is used instead. If the
+very first digit is incorrect, a panic error is logged, and the default code is
+used. This is an incompatible change, but it is not expected to affect many (if
+any) configurations. It is possible to suppress the use of the supplied code in
+a redirect router by setting the smtp_error_code option false. In this case,
+any SMTP code is quietly ignored.
+
+
+Exim version 4.61
+-----------------
+
+1. The default number of ACL variables of each type has been increased to 20,
+and it's possible to compile Exim with more. You can safely upgrade to this
+release if you already have messages on the queue with saved ACL variable
+values. However, if you downgrade from this release with messages on the queue,
+any saved ACL values they may have will be lost.
+
+2. The default value for rfc1413_query_timeout has been changed from 30s to 5s.
+
+
+Exim version 4.54
+-----------------
+
+There was a problem with 4.52/TF/02 in that a "name=" option on control=
+submission terminated at the next slash, thereby not allowing for slashes in
+the name. This has been changed so that "name=" takes the rest of the string as
+its data. It must therefore be the last option.
