  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" suffux
+    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.
+    tls_require_ciphers is now parsed by gnutls_priority_init(3) as a priority
+    string, documentation for which is at:
+    http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html
+
+    SNI support has been added to Exim's GnuTLS integration too.
