 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 4.81
+------------
+
+ 1. New command-line option -bI:sieve will list all supported sieve extensions
+    of this Exim build on standard output, one per line.
+    ManageSieve (RFC 5804) providers managing scripts for use by Exim should
+    query this to establish the correct list to include in the protocol's
+    SIEVE capability line.
+
+ 2. If the -n option is combined with the -bP option, then the name of an
+    emitted option is not output, only the value (if visible to you).
+    For instance, "exim -n -bP pid_file_path" should just emit a pathname
+    followed by a newline, and no other text.
+
+ 3. When built with SUPPORT_TLS and USE_GNUTLS, the SMTP transport driver now
+    has a "tls_dh_min_bits" option, to set the minimum acceptable number of
+    bits in the Diffie-Hellman prime offered by a server (in DH ciphersuites)
+    acceptable for security.  (Option accepted but ignored if using OpenSSL).
+    Defaults to 1024, the old value.  May be lowered only to 512, or raised as
+    far as you like.  Raising this may hinder TLS interoperability with other
+    sites and is not currently recommended.  Lowering this will permit you to
+    establish a TLS session which is not as secure as you might like.
+
+    Unless you really know what you are doing, leave it alone.
+
+ 4. If not built with DISABLE_DNSSEC, Exim now has the main option
+    dns_use_dnssec; if set to 1 then Exim will initialise the resolver library
+    to send the DO flag to your recursive resolver.  If you have a recursive
+    resolver, which can set the Authenticated Data (AD) flag in results, Exim
+    can now detect this.
+
+    Current status: work-in-progress; $sender_host_dnssec variable added.
+
+ 5. DSCP support for outbound connections: on a transport using the smtp driver,
+    set "dscp = ef", for instance, to cause the connections to have the relevant
+    DSCP (IPv4 TOS or IPv6 TCLASS) value in the header.
+
+    Similarly for inbound connections, there is a new control modifier, dscp,
+    so "warn control = dscp/ef" in the connect ACL, or after authentication.
+
+    Supported values depend upon system libraries.  "exim -bI:dscp" to list the
+    ones Exim knows of.  You can also set a raw number 0..0x3F.
