+ 1. New command-line option -bI:sieve will list all supported sieve extensions
+    of this Exim build on standard output, one per line.
+    ManageSieve (RFC 5804) providers managing scripts for use by Exim should
+    query this to establish the correct list to include in the protocol's
+    SIEVE capability line.
+
+ 2. If the -n option is combined with the -bP option, then the name of an
+    emitted option is not output, only the value (if visible to you).
+    For instance, "exim -n -bP pid_file_path" should just emit a pathname
+    followed by a newline, and no other text.
+
+ 3. When built with SUPPORT_TLS and USE_GNUTLS, the SMTP transport driver now
+    has a "tls_dh_min_bits" option, to set the minimum acceptable number of
+    bits in the Diffie-Hellman prime offered by a server (in DH ciphersuites)
+    acceptable for security.  (Option accepted but ignored if using OpenSSL).
+    Defaults to 1024, the old value.  May be lowered only to 512, or raised as
+    far as you like.  Raising this may hinder TLS interoperability with other
+    sites and is not currently recommended.  Lowering this will permit you to
+    establish a TLS session which is not as secure as you might like.
+
+    Unless you really know what you are doing, leave it alone.

  8. The existing "accept_8bitmime" option now defaults to true.  This means
     that Exim is deliberately not strictly RFC compliant.  We're following
     Dan Bernstein's advice in http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html by default.
     Those who disagree, or know that they are talking to mail servers that,
     even today, are not 8-bit clean, need to turn off this option.

+ 9. Exim can now be started with -bw (with an optional timeout, given as
+    -bw<timespec>).  With this, stdin at startup is a socket that is
+    already listening for connections.  This has a more modern name of
+    "socket activation", but forcing the activated socket to fd 0.  We're
+    interested in adding more support for modern variants.
+
+10. ${eval } now uses 64-bit values on supporting platforms.  A new "G" suffix
+    for numbers indicates multiplication by 1024^3.
+
+11. The GnuTLS support has been revamped; the three options gnutls_require_kx,
+    gnutls_require_mac & gnutls_require_protocols are no longer supported.
