+Exim version 4.70
+-----------------
+
+1. Experimental Yahoo! Domainkeys support has been dropped in this release.
+It has been superceded by a native implementation of its successor DKIM.
+
+2. Up to version 4.69, Exim came with an embedded version of the PCRE library.
+As of 4.70, this is no longer the case. To compile Exim, you will need PCRE
+installed. Most OS distributions have ready-made library and develoment
+packages.
+
+
+Exim version 4.68
+-----------------
+
+1. The internal implementation of the database keys that are used for ACL
+ratelimiting has been tidied up. This means that an update to 4.68 might cause
+Exim to "forget" previous rates that it had calculated, and reset them to zero.

+2. A bug has been fixed that might just possibly be something that is relied on
+in some configurations. In expansion items such as ${if >{xxx}{yyy}...} an
+empty string (that is {}) was being interpreted as if it was {0} and therefore
+treated as the number zero. From release 4.64, such strings cause an error
+because a decimal number, possibly followed by K or M, is required (as has
+always been documented).
+
+3. There has been a change to the GnuTLS support (ChangeLog/PH/20) to improve
+Exim's performance. Unfortunately, this has the side effect of being slightly
+non-upwards compatible for versions 4.50 and earlier. If you are upgrading from
+one of these earlier versions and you use GnuTLS, you must remove the file
+called gnutls-params in Exim's spool directory. If you don't do this, you will
+see this error:
+
+  TLS error on connection from ... (DH params import): Base64 decoding error.
+
+Removing the file causes Exim to recompute the relevant encryption parameters
+and cache them in the new format that was introduced for release 4.51 (May
+2005). If you are upgrading from release 4.51 or later, there should be no
+problem.
