 test from the snapshots or the CVS before the documentation is updated. Once
 the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list.
 
+Version 4.85
+------------
+
+ 1. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_DANE feature enabled, Exim will follow the
+    DANE smtp draft to assess a secure chain of trust of the certificate
+    used to establish the TLS connection based on a TLSA record in the
+    domain of the sender.
+
+ 2. The EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA feature has been renamed to EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT
+    and several new events have been created. The reason is because it has
+    been expanded beyond just firing events during the transport phase. Any
+    existing TPDA transport options will have to be rewritten to use a new
+    $event_name expansion variable in a condition. Refer to the
+    experimental-spec.txt for details and examples.
+
+ 3. The EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES features is an enhancement to verify that
+    server certs used for TLS match the result of the MX lookup. It does
+    not use the same mechanism as DANE.

     actual external source IP:host be used in exim instead of the IP of the
     proxy that is connecting to it.
 
- 2. When built with OpenSSL the smtp transport now supports options
-    "tls_verify_hosts" and "tls_try_verify_hosts".  If either is set the
-    certificate verification is split from the encryption operation. The
-    default remains that a failed verification cancels the encryption.
+ 2. New verify option header_names_ascii, which will check to make sure
+    there are no non-ASCII characters in header names.  Exim itself handles
+    those non-ASCII characters, but downstream apps may not, so Exim can
+    detect and reject if those characters are present.
+
+ 3. New expansion operator ${utf8clean:string} to replace malformed UTF8
+    codepoints with valid ones.
+
+ 4. New malware type "sock".  Talks over a Unix or TCP socket, sending one
+    command line and matching a regex against the return data for trigger
+    and a second regex to extract malware_name.  The mail spoolfile name can
+    be included in the command line.
+
+ 5. The smtp transport now supports options "tls_verify_hosts" and
+    "tls_try_verify_hosts".  If either is set the certificate verification
+    is split from the encryption operation. The default remains that a failed
+    verification cancels the encryption.
+
+ 6. New SERVERS override of default ldap server list.  In the ACLs, an ldap
+    lookup can now set a list of servers to use that is different from the
+    default list.
+
+ 7. New command-line option -C for exiqgrep to specify alternate exim.conf
+    file when searching the queue.
+
+ 8. OCSP now supports GnuTLS also, if you have version 3.1.3 or later of that.
+
+ 9. Support for DNSSEC on outbound connections.
+
+10. New variables "tls_(in,out)_(our,peer)cert" and expansion item
+    "certextract" to extract fields from them. Hash operators md5 and sha1
+    work over them for generating fingerprints, and a new sha256 operator
+    for them added.
+
+11. PRDR is now supported dy default.
+
+12. OCSP stapling is now supported by default.
+
+13. If built with the EXPERIMENTAL_DSN feature enabled, Exim will output
+    Delivery Status Notification messages in MIME format, and negociate
+    DSN features per RFC 3461.
