 New Features in Exim
 --------------------
@@ -9,6 +9,39 @@ updated when there is a relatively large batch of changes). The doc/ChangeLog
 file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes.
 
 
+Version 4.44
+------------
+
+ 1. There is a new build-time option called CONFIGURE_GROUP which works like
+    CONFIGURE_OWNER. It specifies one additional group that is permitted for
+    the runtime configuration file when the group write permission is set.
+
+ 2. The "control=submission" facility has a new option /retain_sender. This
+    has the effect of setting local_sender_retain true and local_from_check
+    false for the incoming message in which it is encountered.
+
+ 3. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
+
+ 4. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
+    $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement. Note:
+    this is just like $address_data. The value does not persist after the end
+    of the current ACL statement. If you want to preserve it, you can use one
+    of the ACL variables.
+
+ 5. The redirect router has two new options: forbid_sieve_filter and
+    forbid_exim_filter. When filtering is enabled by allow_filter, these
+    options control which type(s) of filtering are permitted. By default, both
+    Exim and Sieve filters are allowed.
+
+ 6. A new option for callouts makes it possible to set a different (usually
+    smaller) timeout for making the SMTP connection. The keyword is "connect".
+    For example:
+
+       verify = sender/callout=5s,connect=1s
+
+    If not specified, it defaults to the general timeout value.
