+Exim version 4.95
+-----------------
+
+Various length limits have been applied to Exim's parsing of its command-line.
+These are all set to be at least as long as any valid input, so we do not believe
+that any real use-cases have been affected by this.
+
+The names of various drivers (authenticators, routers, transports, ...) have
+always been limited to 64 characters, but before this release the names were
+silently truncated, inviting problems.  Now the length limit should be enforced.
+If this affects you, then please rename to use shorter names.
+
+The default maximum number of recipients of a single email has changed from
+"unlimited" (ie: as much as CPU and memory will allow, until something breaks
+badly) to 50,000.  You can raise or lower this as you see fit, but we strongly
+caution against using zero/unlimited.
+
+
+Exim version 4.94
+-----------------
+
+Some Transports now refuse to use tainted data in constructing their delivery
+location; this WILL BREAK configurations which are not updated accordingly.
+In particular: any Transport use of $local_part which has been relying upon
+check_local_user far away in the Router to make it safe, should be updated to
+replace $local_part with $local_part_data.
+
+Attempting to remove, in router or transport, a header name that ends with
+an asterisk (which is a standards-legal name) will now result in all headers
+named starting with the string before the asterisk being removed.  We recommend
+staying away from such names, if they are private ones (and in case of future
+enhancements, alao header names that look like REs).
+
+
+Exim version 4.93
+-----------------
+
+For a detailed list of changes that might affect Exim's operation with
+an unchanged configuration, please see the doc/ChangeLog file.
+
+Build:
+
+ * SUPPORT_DMARC replaces EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC
+
+ * DISABLE_TLS replaces SUPPORT_TLS
+
+ * Bump the version for the local_scan API.
+
+Runtime:
+
+ * smtp transport option hosts_try_fastopen defaults to "*".
+
+ * DNSSec is requested (not required) for all queries. (This seemes to
+   ask for trouble if your resolver is a systemd-resolved.)
+
+ * Generic router option retry_use_local_part defaults to "true" under specific
+   pre-conditions.
+
+ * Introduce a tainting mechanism for values read from untrusted sources.
+
+ * Use longer file names for temporary spool files (this avoids
+   name conflicts with spool on a shared file system).
+
+ * Use dsn_from main config option (was ignored previously).
+
+
+Exim version 4.92
+-----------------
+
+ * Exim used to manually follow CNAME chains, to a limited depth.  In this
+   day-and-age we expect the resolver to be doing this for us, so the loop
+   is limited to one retry unless the (new) config option dns_cname_loops
+   is changed.
+
+Exim version 4.91
+-----------------
+
+ * DANE and SPF have been promoted from Experimental to Supported status, thus
+   the options to enable them in Local/Makefile have been renamed.
+   See current src/EDITME for full details, including changes in dependencies,
+   but loosely: replace EXPERIMENTAL_SPF with SUPPORT_SPF and replace
+   EXPERIMENTAL_DANE with SUPPORT_DANE.
+
+ * Ancient ClamAV stream support, long deprecated by ClamAV, has been removed;
+   if you were building with WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM enabled then your problems
+   have marginally increased.
+
+ * A number of logging changes; if relying upon the previous DKIM additional
+   log-line, explicit log_selector configuration is needed to keep it.
+
+ * Other incompatible changes in EXPERIMENTAL_* features, read NewStuff and
+   ChangeLog carefully if relying upon an experimental feature such as DMARC.
+   Note that this includes changes to SPF as it was promoted into Supported.
