 New Features in Exim
 --------------------
@@ -8,89 +8,39 @@ but have not yet made it into the main manual (which is most conveniently
 updated when there is a relatively large batch of changes). The doc/ChangeLog
 file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes.
 
-
-Version 4.51
+Version 4.61
 ------------
 
-PH/01 The format in which GnuTLS parameters are written to the gnutls-param
-      file in the spool directory has been changed. This change has been made
-      to alleviate problems that some people had with the generation of the
-      parameters by Exim when /dev/random was exhausted. In this situation,
-      Exim would hang until /dev/random acquired some more entropy.
-
-      The new code exports and imports the DH and RSA parameters in PEM
-      format. This means that the parameters can be generated externally using
-      the certtool command that is part of GnuTLS.
-
-      To replace the parameters with new ones, instead of deleting the file
-      and letting Exim re-create it, you can generate new parameters using
-      certtool and, when this has been done, replace Exim's cache file by
-      renaming. The relevant commands are something like this:
-
-        # rm -f new.params
-        # touch new.params
-        # chown exim:exim new.params
-        # chmod 0400 new.params
-        # certtool --generate-privkey --bits 512 >new.params
-        # echo "" >>new.params
-        # certtool --generate-dh-params --bits 1024 >> new.params
-        # mv new.params params
-
-      If Exim never has to generate the parameters itself, the possibility of
-      stalling is removed.
-
-PH/02 A new expansion item for dynamically loading and calling a locally-
-      written C function is now provided, if Exim is compiled with
-
-        EXPAND_DLFUNC=yes
+PH/01 There is a new global option called disable_ipv6, which does exactly what
+      its name implies. If set true, even if the Exim binary has IPv6 support,
+      no IPv6 activities take place. AAAA records are never looked up as a for
+      host names given in manual routing data or elsewhere. AAAA records that
+      are received from the DNS as additional data for MX records are ignored.
+      Any IPv6 addresses that are listed in local_interfaces, manualroute route
+      data, etc. are also ignored. If IP literals are enabled, the ipliteral
+      router declines to handle IPv6 literal addresses.
 
-      set in Local/Makefile. The facility is not included by default (a
-      suitable error is given if you try to use it when it is not there.)
 
-      If you enable EXPAND_DLFUNC, you should also be aware of the new redirect
-      router option forbid_filter_dlfunc. If you have unprivileged users on
-      your system who are permitted to create filter files, you might want to
-      set forbid_filter_dlfunc=true in the appropriate router, to stop them
-      using ${dlfunc to run code within Exim.
-
-      You load and call an external function like this:
-
-        ${dlfunc{/some/file}{function}{arg1}{arg2}...}
-
-      Once loaded, Exim remembers the dynamically loaded object so that it
-      doesn't reload the same object file in the same Exim process (but of
-      course Exim does start new processes frequently).
-
-      There may be from zero to eight arguments to the function. When compiling
-      a local function that is to be called in this way, local_scan.h should be
-      included. The Exim variables and functions that are defined by that API
-      are also available for dynamically loaded functions. The function itself
-      must have the following type:
-
-        int dlfunction(uschar **yield, int argc, uschar *argv[])
+Version 4.60
+------------
 
-      Where "uschar" is a typedef for "unsigned char" in local_scan.h. The
-      function should return one of the following values:
+The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.60 release. Major new features since
+the 4.50 release are:
 
-      OK            Success. The string that is placed in "yield" is put into
-                    the expanded string that is being built.
+. Support for SQLite.
 
-      FAIL          A non-forced expansion failure occurs, with the error
-                    message taken from "yield", if it is set.
+. Support for IGNOREQUOTA in LMTP.
 
-      FAIL_FORCED   A forced expansion failure occurs, with the error message
-                    taken from "yield" if it is set.
+. Extensions to the "submission mode" features.
 
-      ERROR         Same as FAIL, except that a panic log entry is written.
+. Support for Client SMTP Authorization (CSA).
 
-      When compiling a function that is to be used in this way with gcc,
-      you need to add -shared to the gcc command. Also, in the Exim build-time
-      configuration, you must add -export-dynamic to EXTRALIBS.
+. Support for ratelimiting hosts and users.
 
+. New expansion items to help with the BATV "prvs" scheme.
 
-Version 4.50
-------------
+. A "match_ip" condition, that matches an IP address against a list.
 
-The documentation is up-to-date for the 4.50 release.
+There are many more minor changes.
