+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).
+
+53. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
+    the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
+    was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
+    the line.
+
+54. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
+    patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
+    create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
+
+      "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
+      Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
+      Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
+      of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
+      But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
+      so I produce this patch..."
+
+55. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
+    keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
+    dnsdb lookup now tests whether it's key is an IP address. If not, it leaves
+    it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
+
+56. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
