 test from the snapshots or the CVS before the documentation is updated. Once
 the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list.
 
+Version 4.78
+------------
+
+ 1. New authenticator driver, "gsasl".  Server-only (at present).
+    This is a SASL interface, licensed under GPL, which can be found at
+    http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/.
+    This system does not provide sources of data for authentication, so
+    careful use needs to be made of the conditions in Exim.  Note that
+    this can not yet be used as a drop-in replacement for Cyrus SASL, as
+    Exim is currently unable to construct strings with embedded NULs for
+    use as keys in lookups against sasldb2.
+
+
 Version 4.77
 ------------
 
  1. New options for the ratelimit ACL condition: /count= and /unique=.
     The /noupdate option has been replaced by a /readonly option.
 
+ 2. The SMTP transport's protocol option may now be set to "smtps", to
+    use SSL-on-connect outbound.
+
+ 3. New variable $av_failed, set true if the AV scanner deferred; ie, when
+    there is a problem talking to the AV scanner, or the AV scanner running.
+
+ 4. New expansion conditions, "inlist" and "inlisti", which take simple lists
+    and check if the search item is a member of the list.  This does not
+    support named lists, but does subject the list part to string expansion.
+
+ 5. Unless the new EXPAND_LISTMATCH_RHS build option is set when Exim was
+    built, Exim no longer performs string expansion on the second string of
+    the match_* expansion conditions: "match_address", "match_domain",
+    "match_ip" & "match_local_part".  Named lists can still be used.
