 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------

 10. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
 
+11. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
+    received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
+    failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
+    cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
+
+12. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
+    of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
+    sender verification.
+
+13. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
+    $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
+
+14. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
+
+15. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
+    connection timeout.
+
+16. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
+    was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
+
+17. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
+    the spool by the -Mrm option.
+
+18. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
+    information about exactly what failed.
+
+19. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
+
+20. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
+    handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
+    CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
+
+21. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
+    It is now set to "smtps".
+
+22. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
+    ignore_target_hosts.
+
+23. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
+    being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
+    matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
+    since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
+    "[x.x.x.x]".
+
+24. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
+    code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
+    modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
+
+25. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
+    SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
+    wake it up if nothing else does.
+
