    the message.  No tool has been provided as we believe this is a rare
    occurence.
 
+ * 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
+   "openssl_options" value will not parse "no_tlsv1_1": the value changes
+   incompatibly between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b, because the value chosen for 1.0.1a
+   is infelicitous.  We advise avoiding 1.0.1a.
+
+   "openssl_options" gains "no_tlsv1_1", "no_tlsv1_2" and "no_compression".
+
+   COMPATIBILITY WARNING: The default value of "openssl_options" is no longer
+   "+dont_insert_empty_fragments".  We default to unset.  That old default was
+   grandfathered in from before openssl_options became a configuration option.
+   Empty fragments are inserted by default through TLS1.0, to partially defend
+   against certain attacks; TLS1.1+ change the protocol so that this is not
+   needed.  The DIEF SSL option was required for some old releases of mail
+   clients which did not gracefully handle the empty fragments, and was
+   initially set in Exim release 4.31 (see ChangeLog, item 37).
+
+   If you still have affected mail-clients, and you see SSL protocol failures
+   with this release of Exim, set:
+     openssl_options = +dont_insert_empty_fragments
+   in the main section of your Exim configuration file.  You're trading off
+   security for compatibility.  Exim is now defaulting to higher security and
+   rewarding more modern clients.
+
+ * Ldap lookups returning multi-valued attributes now separate the attributes
+   with only a comma, not a comma-space sequence.  Also, an actual comma within
+   a returned attribute is doubled.  This makes it possible to parse the
+   attribute as a comma-separated list.  Note the distinction from multiple
+   attributes being returned, where each one is a name=value pair.
+
+ * accept_8bitmime now defaults on, which is not RFC compliant but is better
+   suited to today's Internet.  See http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html for a
+   sane rationale.  Those who wish to be strictly RFC compliant, or know that
+   they need to talk to servers that are not 8-bit-clean, now need to take
+   explicit configuration action to default this option off.  This is not a
+   new option, you can safely force it off before upgrading, to decouple
+   configuration changes from the binary upgrade while remaining RFC compliant.
