+Exim version 4.90
+-----------------
+
+JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
+      more cases is responsible for logging.  This permits library-sourced
+      string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
+      pairs of long lines into single ones.
+
+PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly
+      during configuration.  Wildcards are allowed and expanded.
+
+JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
+      This permits better logging.
+
+JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
+      do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
+      the passed-on TCP connection.  Instead, proxy the child (and any
+      subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel.  Logging is
+      affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
+      Certificate or OCSP information.  TLS cipher information is still logged.
+
+JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of
+      identical IP addresses on different listening ports.  Will also affect
+      "exiwhat" output.
+
+PP/02 Bug 2070: uClibc defines __GLIBC__ without providing glibc headers;
+      add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness.
+      Patch from Bernd Kuhls.
+
+JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
+      than 255 are no longer allowed.
+
+JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
+      Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load.  Since we
+      currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
+      client, there is no benefit for these.
+      GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
+      call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
+      by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
+      is used (3.2.4 +).
+
+PP/03 Add $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support for reproducible builds, per spec at
+      <https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/>.

+JH/05 Have the EHLO response advertise VRFY, if there is a vrfy ACL defined.
+      Previously we did not; the RFC seems ambiguous and VRFY is not listed
+      by IANA as a service extension.  However, John Klensin suggests that we
+      should.

       the dkim code may be unix-mode line endings rather than smtp wire-format
       CRLF, so prepend a CR to any bare LF.

+JH/08 Bug 2016: Fix DKIM verification vs. CHUNKING.  Any BDAT commands after
+      the first were themselves being wrongly included in the feed into dkim
+      processing; with most chunk sizes in use this resulted in an incorrect
+      body hash calculated value.
+
+JH/09 Bug 2014: permit inclusion of a DKIM-Signature header in a received
+      DKIM signature block, for verification.  Although advised against by
+      standards it is specifically not ruled illegal.
+
+JH/10 Bug 2025: Fix reception of (quoted) local-parts with embedded spaces.
+
+JH/11 Bug 2029: Fix crash in DKIM verification when a message signature block is
+      missing a body hash (the bh= tag).
+
+JH/12 Bug 2018: Re-order Proxy Protocol startup versus TLS-on-connect startup.
+      It seems that HAProxy sends the Proxy Protocol information in clear and
+      only then does a TLS startup, so do the same.
+
+JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
+      TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
+      Fast Open mode on its listening sockets.  This fixes breakage seen on
+      too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
+      requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used
+      by non-daemon-related Exim processes.
+
+JH/14 Bug 2000: Reject messages recieved with CHUNKING but with malformed line
+      endings, at least on the first header line.  Try to canonify any that get
+      past that check, despite the cost.
+
+JH/15 Angle-bracket nesting (an error inserted by broken sendmails) levels are
+      now limited to an arbitrary five deep, while parsing addresses with the
+      strip_excess_angle_brackets option enabled.
+
+PP/03 Bug 2018: For Proxy Protocol and TLS-on-connect, do not over-read and
+      instead leave the unprompted TLS handshake in socket buffer for the
+      TLS library to consume.
+
+PP/04 Bug 2018: Also handle Proxy Protocol v2 safely.
+
+PP/05 FreeBSD compat: handle that Ports no longer create /usr/bin/perl
+
+JH/16 Drop variables when they go out of scope.  Memory management drops a whole
+      region in one operation, for speed, and this leaves assigned pointers
+      dangling.  Add checks run only under the testsuite which checks all
+      variables at a store-reset and panics on a dangling pointer; add code
+      explicitly nulling out all the variables discovered.  Fixes one known
+      bug: a transport crash, where a dangling pointer for $sending_ip_address
+      originally assigned in a verify callout, is re-used.
+
+PP/06 Drop '.' from @INC in various Perl scripts.
+
+PP/07 Switch FreeBSD iconv to always use the base-system libc functions.
+
+PP/08 Reduce a number of compilation warnings under clang; building with
+      CC=clang CFLAGS+=-Wno-dangling-else -Wno-logical-op-parentheses
+      should be warning-free.
+
+JH/17 Fix inbound CHUNKING when DKIM disabled at runtime.
+
+HS/01 Fix portability problems introduced by PP/08 for platforms where
+      realloc(NULL) is not equivalent to malloc() [SunOS et al].
+
+HS/02 Bug 1974: Fix missing line terminator on the last received BDAT
+      chunk. This allows us to accept broken chunked messages. We need a more
+      general solution here.
+
+PP/09 Wrote util/chunking_fixqueue_finalnewlines.pl to help recover
+      already-broken messages in the queue.
+
+JH/18 Bug 2061: Fix ${extract } corrupting an enclosing ${reduce }  $value.
+
+JH/19 Fix reference counting bug in routing-generated-address tracking.
