+PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the
+      special code in Exim that was needed for the old test suite. For example,
+      sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary
+      order. The new test suite's fake resolver always returns records in the
+      same order.
+
+PH/37 When running in the test harness, use -odi for submitted messages (e.g.
+      bounces) except when queue_only is set, to avoid logging races between
+      the different processes.
+
+PH/38 Panic-die if .include specifies a non-absolute path.
+
+PH/39 A tweak to the "H" retry rule from its user.
+
+JJ/03 exipick: Removed parentheses from 'next' and 'last' calls that specified
+      a label.  They prevented compilation on older perls.
+
+JJ/04 exipick: Refactored code to prevent implicit split to @_ which caused
+      a warning to be raised on newish perls.
+
+JJ/05 exipick: Fixed bug where -bpc always showed a count of all messages
+      on queue.  Changes to match documented behaviour of showing count of
+      messages matching specified criteria.
+
+PH/40 Changed the default ident timeout from 30s to 5s.
+
+PH/41 Added support for the use of login_cap features, on those BSD systems
+      that have them, for controlling the resources used by pipe deliveries.
+
+PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
+      message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
+      the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
+      files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
+      files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
+      being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
+      created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
+      argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
+      mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
+      content scanning code have been changed to use this function.
