 39. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
 
+40. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
+    delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
+
+41. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
+    to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
+    of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
+
+42. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
+
+43. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
+
+44. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
+
+45. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
+    transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
+    < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
+    introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
+    because the tests only now provoked it.
+
+46. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
+    (this can affect the format of dates).
+
+47. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
+    which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
+    messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
+    deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
+
+48. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
+
+49. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
+    on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
+    contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
+    was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
+
+50. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
+    (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
+    AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
+
+51. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
+    autoreply.
+
+52. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
+    recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
+    as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
+    increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
+    happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
+    have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
+    is going on).
