 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.
+
+PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the
+      decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers
+      lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
+      invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
+      newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
+      grumble.
+
+PH/05 If group was specified without a user on a router, and no group or user
+      was specified on a transport, the group from the router was ignored.
+
+PH/06 Increased the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type, and arranged
+      for visible compile-time settings that can be used to change these
+      numbers, for those that want even more. Backwards compatibility with old
+      spool files has been maintained. However, going back to a previous Exim
+      release will lost any variables that are in spool files.
+
+PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when
+      passing a TCP/IP connection to a new process, in case the original
+      process has to generate a bounce, and remove special handling of
+      127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary.
+
+PH/08 Changed debug output of dbfn_open() flags from numbers to names, so as to
+      be the same on different OS.
+
+PH/09 Moved a debug statement in filter processing to avoid a race problem when
+      testing.
+
+JJ/01 exipick: fixed bug where -b (brief) output option showed "Vars:"
+      whether --show-vars was specified or not
+
+JJ/02 exipick: Added support for new ACL variable spool format introduced
+      in 4.61-PH/06
+
+PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
+      syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
+      generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
+      autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
+      name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
+      it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
+      bounce message.
+
+PH/11 The exinext utility has a -C option for testing purposes, but although
+      the given file was scanned by exinext itself; it wasn't being passed on
+      when Exim was called.
+
+PH/12 In the smtp transport, treat an explicit ECONNRESET error the same as
+      an end-of-file indication when reading a command response.
+
+PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was
+      compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always
+      recognized, so I have changed this. It also means that IPv4 domain
+      literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.
+
+PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
+      used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
+      ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
+      non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
+      changes:
+
+      (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
+          in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
+          suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
+
+      (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
+          outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
+          the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.
+
+PH/15 Minor change to Makefile for building test_host (undocumented testing
+      feature).
