+TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
+      leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
+      While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
+      filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
+      these files.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
+      processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
+      triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
+
+TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
+      in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
+      hence the _LINUX specificness.

       there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any

+PH/29 [Removed. This was a change that I later backed out, and forgot to
+      correct the ChangeLog entry (that I had efficiently created) before
+      committing the later change.]
+
+PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
+      address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
+      messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
+      so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
+      for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
+      hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
+      the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
+      of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
+      was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
+
+      (i)  If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
+           of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
+           for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
+           candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
+           successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
+           reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
+           This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
+           previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
+           harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
+
+      (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
+           routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
+           hammering the server.
+
+PH/31 Installed Andrew Findlay's patch to close the writing end of the socket
+      in ${readsocket because some servers need this prod.
+
+PH/32 Added some extra debug output when updating a wait-xxx database.
+
+PH/33 The hint "could be header name not terminated by colon", which has been
+      given for certain expansion errors for a long time, was not being given
+      for the ${if def:h_colon_omitted{...  case.
