+PH/11 If retry_interval_max is set greater than 24 hours, it is quietly reset
+      to 24 hours. This avoids potential overflow problems when processing G
+      and H retry rules, and it seems reasonable to require a retry at least
+      once a day.
+
+PH/12 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server
+      challenges are now checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. The
+      default action on failure is to abort the authentication. However, if
+      client_ignore_invalid_base64 is set true, invalid responses are ignored.
+
+PH/13 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the challenges
+      from the server are placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as they are received.
+      Thus, the challege that is received in response to sending the first
+      string (with the AUTH command) can be used in the expansion of the second
+      string, and so on. Currently, up to 3 challenge strings are available in
+      this way. If an invalid base64 string is received when client_ignore_
+      invalid_base64 is set, an empty string is put in the $auth<n> variable.
+
+PH/14 Messages created by the autoreply transport now contain a References:
+      header. This is constructed in accordance with rules that are described
+      in section 3.64 of RFC 2822, which states that replies should contain
+      such a header line, and section 3.14 of RFC 3834, which states that
+      automatic responses are not different in this respect. However, because
+      some mail processing software does not cope well with very long header
+      lines, no more than 12 message IDs are copied from the References: header
+      line in the incoming message. If there are more than 12, the first one
+      and then the final 11 are copied, before adding the message ID of the
+      incoming message.
+
+PH/15 The smtp transport has a new option called authenticated_sender_force.
+      When set true, it allows the authenticated_sender option's value to be
+      used, even if Exim has not authenticated as a client.
+
+PH/16 The expansion ${time_eval:<string>} converts an Exim time string such as
+      2d4h1m into a number of seconds.
