+ 1. TWO SECURITY FIXES: one relating to mail-spools which are globally
+    writable, the other to locking of MBX folders (not mbox).
+
+ 2. MySQL stored procedures are now supported.
+
+ 3. The dkim_domain transport option is now a list, not a single string, and
+    messages will be signed for each element in the list (discarding
+    duplicates).
+
+ 4. The 4.70 release unexpectedly changed the behaviour of dnsdb TXT lookups
+    in the presence of multiple character strings within the RR. Prior to 4.70,
+    only the first string would be returned.  The dnsdb lookup now, by default,
+    preserves the pre-4.70 semantics, but also now takes an extended output
+    separator specification. The first output separator is used to join
+    multiple TXT records together; use a second separator character, followed
+    by a colon, to join the strings within a TXT record on that second
+    character, or use a semicolon to concatenate strings within a TXT record
+    with no separator.  Administrators are reminded that DNS provides no
+    ordering guarantees between multiple records in an RRset.  For example:
+
+      foo.example.  IN TXT "a" "b" "c"
+      foo.example.  IN TXT "d" "e" "f"
+
+      ${lookup dnsdb{>/ txt=foo.example}}   -> "a/d"
+      ${lookup dnsdb{>/; txt=foo.example}}  -> "def/abc"
+      ${lookup dnsdb{>/+: txt=foo.example}} -> "a+b+c/d+e+f"
+
+    Some character combinations are currently unsupported.

  1. Native DKIM support without an external library.
 
  2. Experimental DCC support via dccifd (contributed by Wolfgang Breyha).

+ 3. There is now a bool{} expansion condition which maps certain strings to
+    true/false condition values (most likely of use in conjuction with the
+    and{} expansion operator).
+
+ 4. The $spam_score, $spam_bar and $spam_report variables are now available
+    at delivery time.
+
+ 5. exim -bP now supports "macros", "macro_list" or "macro MACRO_NAME" as
+    options, provided that Exim is invoked by an admin_user.
+
+ 6. There is a new option gnutls_compat_mode, when linked against GnuTLS,
+    which increases compatibility with older clients at the cost of decreased
+    security.  Don't set this unless you need to support such clients.
+
+ 7. There is a new expansion operator, ${randint:...} which will produce a
+    "random" number less than the supplied integer.  This randomness is
+    not guaranteed to be cryptographically strong, but depending upon how
+    Exim was built may be better than the most naive schemes.
+
+ 8. Exim now explicitly ensures that SHA256 is available when linked against
+    OpenSSL.
+
+ 9. The transport_filter_timeout option now applies to SMTP transports too.
