+Exim version 4.94
+-----------------
+
+JH/01 Avoid costly startup code when not strictly needed.  This reduces time
+      for some exim process initialisations.  It does mean that the logging
+      of TLS configuration problems is only done for the daemon startup.
+
+JH/02 Early-pipelining support code is now included unless disabled in Makefile.
+
+JH/03 DKIM verification defaults no long accept sha1 hashes, to conform to
+      RFC 8301.  They can still be enabled, using the dkim_verify_hashes main
+      option.
+
+JH/04 Support CHUNKING from an smtp transport using a transport_filter, when
+      DKIM signing is being done.  Previously a transport_filter would always
+      disable CHUNKING, falling back to traditional DATA.
+
+JH/05 Regard command-line receipients as tainted.
+
+JH/06 Bug 340: Remove the daemon pid file on exit, whe due to SIGTERM.
+
+JH/07 Bug 2489: Fix crash in the "pam" expansion condition.  It seems that the
+      PAM library frees one of the arguments given to it, despite the
+      documentation.  Therefore a plain malloc must be used.
+
+JH/08 Bug 2491: Use tainted buffers for the transport smtp context.  Previously
+      on-stack buffers were used, resulting in a taint trap when DSN information
+      copied from a received message was written into the buffer.
+
+JH/09 Bug 2493: Harden ARC verify against Outlook, whick has been seen to mix
+      the ordering of its ARC headers.  This caused a crash.
+
+JH/10 Bug 2492: Use tainted memory for retry record when needed.  Previously when
+      a new record was being constructed with information from the peer, a trap
+      was taken.
+
+JH/11 Bug 2494: Unset the default for dmarc_tld_file.  Previously a naiive
+      installation would get error messages from DMARC verify, when it hit the
+      nonexistent file indicated by the default.  Distros wanting DMARC enabled
+      should both provide the file and set the option.
+      Also enforce no DMARC verification for command-line sourced messages.
+
+JH/12 Fix an uninitialised flag in early-pipelining.  Previously connections
+      could, depending on the platform, hang at the STARTTLS response.
+
+JH/13 Bug 2498: Reset a counter used for ARC verify before handling another
+      message on a connection.  Previously if one message had ARC headers and
+      the following one did not, a crash could result when adding an
+      Authentication-Results: header.
+
+JH/14 Bug 2500: Rewind some of the common-coding in string handling between the
+      Exim main code and Exim-related utities.  The introduction of taint
+      tracking also did many adjustments to string handling.  Since then, eximon
+      frequently terminated with an assert failure.
+
+JH/15 When PIPELINING, synch after every hundred or so RCPT commands sent and
+      check for 452 responses.  This slightly helps the inefficieny of doing
+      a large alias-expansion into a recipient-limited target.  The max_rcpt
+      transport option still applies (and at the current default, will override
+      the new feature).  The check is done for either cause of synch, and forces
+      a fast-retry of all 452'd recipients using a new MAIL FROM on the same
+      connection.  The new facility is not tunable at this time.
+
+JH/16 Fix the variables set by the gsasl authenticator.  Previously a pointer to
+      library live data was being used, so the results became garbage.  Make
+      copies while it is still usable.
+
+JH/17 Logging: when the deliver_time selector ise set, include the DT= field
+      on delivery deferred (==) and failed (**) lines (if a delivery was
+      attemtped).  Previously it was only on completion (=>) lines.

+JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown.  When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
+      an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
+      causing a segfault.
+
+JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
+      them in our smtp response.
+
+JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
+      any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything).  Previously it
+      was only for check_local user.  The change removes one item of manual
+      configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
+      handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
+
+JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
+      link count into consideration.
+
+HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
+      caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
+
+JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
+      accordance with RFC 2308.  Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
+      receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
+      surprise.
+
+HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)
+
+JH/39 Promote DMARC support to mainline.
+
+JH/40 Bug 2452: Add a References: header to DSNs.
+
+JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
+      parameters.  The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
+      function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since
+      3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919."
+
+HS/06 Change the default of dnssec_request_domains to "*"
+
+JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected.  Previously we
+      carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
+      active.
+
+JH/43 Bug 2465: Fix taint-handling in dsearch lookup.  Previously a nontainted
+      buffer was used for the filename, resulting in a trap when tainted
+      arguments (eg. $domain) were used.
+
+JH/44 With OpenSSL 1.1.1 (onwards) disable renegotiation for TLS1.2 and below;
+      recommended to avoid a possible server-load attack.  The feature can be
+      re-enabled via the openssl_options main cofiguration option.
+
+JH/45 local_scan API: documented the current smtp_printf() call. This changed
+      for version 4.90 - adding a "more data" boolean to the arguments.
+      Bumped the ABI version number also, this having been missed previously;
+      release versions 4.90 to 4.92.3 inclusive were effectively broken in
+      respect of usage of smtp_printf() by either local_scan code or libraries
+      accessed via the ${dlfunc } expansion item.  Both will need coding
+      adjustment for any calls to smtp_printf() to match the new function
+      signature; a FALSE value for the new argument is always safe.
+
+JH/46 FreeBSD: fix use of the sendfile() syscall.  The shim was not updating
+      the file-offset (which the Linux syscall does, and exim expects); this
+      resulted in an indefinite loop.
+
+JH/47 ARC: fix crash in signing, triggered when a configuration error failed
+      to do ARC verification.  The Authentication-Results: header line added
+      by the configuration then had no ARC item.
