+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.
+
+26. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
+    for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
+    The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
+    end up negative.
+
+27. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
+    support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
+
+28. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
+
+29. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
+    subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
+    empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
+    because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
+    database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
+    lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
+    contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
+    address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
+
+30. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
+    host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
+    than one IP address.
