 New Features in Exim
 --------------------

 the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list.
 
 
+Version 4.73
+------------
+
+ 1. A new main configuration option, "openssl_options", is available if Exim
+    is built with SSL support provided by OpenSSL.  The option allows
+    administrators to specify OpenSSL options to be used on connections;
+    typically this is to set bug compatibility features which the OpenSSL
+    developers have not enabled by default.  There may be security
+    consequences for certain options, so these should not be changed
+    frivolously.
+
+ 2. A new pipe transport option, "permit_coredumps", may help with problem
+    diagnosis in some scenarios.  Note that Exim is typically installed as
+    a setuid binary, which on most OSes will inhibit coredumps by default,
+    so that safety mechanism would have to be overriden for this option to
+    be able to take effect.
+
+ 3. ClamAV 0.95 is now required for ClamAV support in Exim, unless
+    Local/Makefile sets: WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM=yes
+    Note that this switches Exim to use a new API ("INSTREAM") and a future
+    release of ClamAV will remove support for the old API ("STREAM").
+
+    The av_scanner option, when set to "clamd", now takes an optional third
+    part, "local", which causes Exim to pass a filename to ClamAV instead of
+    the file content.  This is the same behaviour as when clamd is pointed at
+    a Unix-domain socket.  For example:
+
+      av_scanner = clamd:192.0.2.3 1234:local
+
+ 4. There is now a -bmalware option, restricted to admin users.  This option
+    takes one parameter, a filename, and scans that file with Exim's
+    malware-scanning framework.  This is intended purely as a debugging aid
+    to ensure that Exim's scanning is working, not to replace other tools.
+
+ 5. There is a new expansion operator, "reverse_ip", which will reverse IP
+    addresses; IPv4 into dotted quad, IPv6 into dotted nibble.  Examples:
+
+      ${reverse_ip:192.0.2.4}
+       -> 4.2.0.192
+      ${reverse_ip:2001:0db8:c42:9:1:abcd:192.0.2.3}
+       -> 3.0.2.0.0.0.0.c.d.c.b.a.1.0.0.0.9.0.0.0.2.4.c.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2

  1. Native DKIM support without an external library.
+    (Note that if no action to prevent it is taken, a straight upgrade will
+    result in DKIM verification of all signed incoming emails.  See spec
+    for details on conditionally disabling)
 
  2. Experimental DCC support via dccifd (contributed by Wolfgang Breyha).
