+Exim version 4.82

+
+ * New option gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 defaults false; if you have GnuTLS 2.12.0
+   or later and do want PKCS11 modules to be autoloaded, then set this option.
+
+ * A per-transport wait-<name> database is no longer updated if the transport
+   sets "connection_max_messages" to 1, as it can not be used and causes
+   unnecessary serialisation and load.  External tools tracking the state of
+   Exim by the hints databases may need modification to take this into account.
+
+ * The av_scanner option can now accept multiple clamd TCP targets, all other
+   setting limitations remain.

+ * For OpenSSL, SSLv2 is now disabled by default.  (GnuTLS does not support

  * With OpenSSL 1.0.1+, Exim now supports TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.  If built
    against 1.0.1a then you will get a warning message and the
