+    ldap_cipher_suite, ldap_require_cert, ldap_start_tls.
+
+ 2. The pipe transport now takes a boolean option, "freeze_signal", default
+    false.  When true, if the external delivery command exits on a signal then
+    Exim will freeze the message in the queue, instead of generating a bounce.
+
+ 3. Log filenames may now use %M as an escape, instead of %D (still available).
+    The %M pattern expands to yyyymm, providing month-level resolution.
+
+ 4. The $message_linecount variable is now updated for the maildir_tag option,
+    in the same way as $message_size, to reflect the real number of lines,
+    including any header additions or removals from transport.
+
+ 5. When contacting a pool of SpamAssassin servers configured in spamd_address,
+    Exim now selects entries randomly, to better scale in a cluster setup.
