+Exim version 4.64
+-----------------
+
+TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
+      there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
+      header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
+      in the field name.
+
+PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
+      callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
+      is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
+      verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
+      the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
+      case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
+      rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
+      address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
+      Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
+      left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
+      RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).
+
+PH/02 Tidied a number of unused variable and signed/unsigned warnings that
+      gcc 4.1.1 threw up.
+
+PH/03 On Solaris, an unexpectedly close socket (dropped connection) can
+      manifest itself as EPIPE rather than ECONNECT. When tidying away a
+      session, the daemon ignores ECONNECT errors and logs others; it now
+      ignores EPIPE as well.
+
+PH/04 Applied Nico Erfurth's refactoring patch to tidy up mime.c
+      (quoted-printable decoding).
+
+PH/05 Applied Nico Erfurth's refactoring patch to tidy up spool_mbox.c, and
+      later the small subsequent patch to fix an introduced bug.
+
+PH/06 Installed the latest Cygwin Makefile from the Cygwin maintainer.
+
+PH/07 There was no check for overflow in expansions such as ${if >{1}{4096M}}.
+
+PH/08 An error is now given if message_size_limit is specified negative.
+
+PH/09 Applied and tidied up Jakob Hirsch's patch for allowing ACL variables
+      to be given (somewhat) arbitrary names.
+
+JJ/01 exipick 20060919.0, allow for arbitrary acl_ variables introduced
+      in 4.64-PH/09.
+
+JJ/02 exipick 20060919.0, --show-vars args can now be regular expressions,
+      miscellaneous code fixes
+
+PH/10 Added the log_reject_target ACL modifier to specify where to log
+      rejections.
+
+PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
+      hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
+      probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
+      callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
+      changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
+      instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
+      there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
+      addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.
+
+PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
+      tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work:
+      (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
+          overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
+          function.
+      (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
+          hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
+      (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
+          Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
+      (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
+      (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
+          service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
+          interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
+          changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

       both the the main log and to the reject log were not written to syslog at
       all.
 

+PH/14 In the default configuration, change the use of "message" in ACL warn
+      statements to "add_header".
+
+PH/15 Diagnose a filter syntax error for "seen", "unseen", or "noerror" if not
+      not followed by a command (e.g. "seen endif").
+
+PH/16 Recognize SMTP codes at the start of "message" in ACLs and after :fail:
+      and :defer: in a redirect router. Add forbid_smtp_code to suppress the
+      latter.
+
+PH/17 Added extra conditions to the default value of delay_warning_condition
+      so that it is now:
+
+        ${if or { \
+            { !eq{$h_list-id:$h_list-post:$h_list-subscribe:}{} } \
+            { match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk} } \
+            { match{$h_auto-submitted:}{(?i)auto-generated|auto-replied} } \
+            }{no}{yes}}
+
+      The Auto-Submitted: and various List- headers are standardised, whereas I
+      don't think Precedence: ever was.
+
+PH/18 Refactored debugging code in route_finduser() to show more information,
+      in particular, the error code if getpwnam() issues one.
+
+PH/19 Added PQsetClientEncoding(conn, "SQL_ASCII") to the pgsql code module.
+      This is apparently needed in addition to the PH/07 change above to avoid
+      any possible encoding problems.
+
+PH/20 Perl can change the locale. Exim was resetting it after a ${perl call,
+      but not after initializing Perl.
+
+PH/21 Added a call to PQsetNoticeProcessor() to catch pgsql "notices" and
+      output them only if debugging. By default they are written stderr,
+      apparently, which is not desirable.
+
+PH/22 Added Alain Williams' LDAP patch to support setting REFERRALS=off on
+      queries.
+
+JJ/01 exipick: added --reverse (and -R synonym), --random, --size, --sort and
+      --not options
+
+JJ/02 exipick: rewrote --help documentation to hopefully make more clear.
+
+PH/23 Made -oMaa and -oMt work with -bh and -bs to pretend the connection is
+      authenticated or an ident call has been made. Suppress the default
+      values for $authenticated_id and $authenticated_sender (but permit -oMai
+      and -oMas) when testing with -bh.
+
+PH/24 Re-jigged the order of the tests in the default configuration so that the
+      tests for valid domains and recipients precede the DNS black list and CSA
+      tests, on the grounds that those ones are more expensive.
+
+PH/25 Exim was not testing for a space following SMTP commands such as EHLO
+      that require one. Thus, EHLORHUBARB was interpreted as a valid command.
+      This bug exists in every version of Exim that I still have, right back to
+      0.12.
+
+PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively.
+      However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by
+      including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already
+      lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
+      one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.
