 New Features in Exim

  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.
+    Note that the ACL framework is not invoked, so if av_scanner references
+    ACL variables without a fallback then this will fail.
 
  5. There is a new expansion operator, "reverse_ip", which will reverse IP
     addresses; IPv4 into dotted quad, IPv6 into dotted nibble.  Examples:

+ 7. It has always been implicit in the design and the documentation that
+    "the Exim user" is not root.  src/EDITME said that using root was
+    "very strongly discouraged".  This is not enough to keep people from
+    shooting themselves in the foot in days when many don't configure Exim
+    themselves but via package build managers.  The security consequences of
+    running various bits of network code are severe if there should be bugs in
+    them.  As such, the Exim user may no longer be root.  If configured
+    statically, Exim will refuse to build.  If configured as ref:user then Exim
+    will exit shortly after start-up.  If you must shoot yourself in the foot,
+    then henceforth you will have to maintain your own local patches to strip
+    the safeties off.
+
+ 8. There is a new expansion operator, bool_lax{}.  Where bool{} uses the ACL
+    condition logic to determine truth/failure and will fail to expand many
+    strings, bool_lax{} uses the router condition logic, where most strings
+    do evaluate true.
+    Note: bool{00} is false, bool_lax{00} is true.
+
+ 9. Routers now support multiple "condition" tests,
+
+10. There is now a runtime configuration option "tcp_wrappers_daemon_name".
+    Setting this allows an admin to define which entry in the tcpwrappers
+    config file will be used to control access to the daemon.  This option
+    is only available when Exim is built with USE_TCP_WRAPPERS.  The
+    default value is set at build time using the TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME
+    build option.
