+Exim version 4.52
+-----------------
+
+TF/01 Added support for Client SMTP Authorization. See NewStuff for details.
+
+PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe
+      command itself ended in error, the underlying message about the transport
+      filter timeout was being overwritten with the pipe command error. Now the
+      underlying error message should be appended to the second error message.
+
+TK/01 Fix poll() being unavailable on Mac OSX 10.2.
+
+PH/02 Reduce the amount of output that "make" produces by default. Full output
+      can still be requested.
+
+PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb
+      was being output only once per connection, rather than after each
+      occurrence (because it was using the same function as for successful
+      "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it.
+
+TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that
+      it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right
+      circumstances, but probably never did.
+
+PH/04 Installed a modified version of Tony Finch's patch to make submission
+      mode fix the return path as well as the Sender: header line, and to
+      add a /name= option so that you can make the user's friendly name appear
+      in the header line.
+
+TF/03 Added the control = fakedefer ACL modifier.
+
+TF/04 Added the ratelimit ACL condition. See NewStuff for details.
+
+TK/02 Rewrote SPF support to work with libspf2 versions >1.2.0.
+
+TK/03 Merged latest SRS patch from Miles Wilton.
+
+PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
+      with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
+      Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
+      preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
+      scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
+      so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.
+
+PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
+      in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
+      write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
+      This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
+      would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
+      doesn't have to be particularly precise.
+

+PH/41 $message_linecount is a new variable that contains the total number of
+      lines in the message. Compare $body_linecount, which is the count for the
+      body only.
+
+PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
+      bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
+      are as follows:
+
+      (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
+      (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
+      (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
+      (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
+      (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
+
+      In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
+      warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
+      as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.
+
+PH/43 $value is now also set for the "else" part of a ${run expansion.
+
+PH/44 Applied patch from the Sieve maintainer: "The vacation draft is still
+      being worked on, but at least Exim now implements the latest version to
+      play with."
+
+PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
+      process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
+      writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
+      successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
+      consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
+      treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
+      there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
+      timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
+      both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
+      the log output.
+
+PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On
+      systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top
+      level broke things. I've arranged for the value of $(MAKE) to be passed
+      from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of
+      "make".
