 New Features in Exim
 --------------------

 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 4.77
+------------
+
+ 1. New options for the ratelimit ACL condition: /count= and /unique=.
+    The /noupdate option has been replaced by a /readonly option.
+
+ 2. The SMTP transport's protocol option may now be set to "smtps", to
+    use SSL-on-connect outbound.
+
+ 3. New variable $av_failed, set true if the AV scanner deferred; ie, when
+    there is a problem talking to the AV scanner, or the AV scanner running.
+
+ 4. New expansion conditions, "inlist" and "inlisti", which take simple lists
+    and check if the search item is a member of the list.  This does not
+    support named lists, but does subject the list part to string expansion.
+
+ 5. Unless the new EXPAND_LISTMATCH_RHS build option is set when Exim was
+    built, Exim no longer performs string expansion on the second string of
+    the match_* expansion conditions: "match_address", "match_domain",
+    "match_ip" & "match_local_part".  Named lists can still be used.
+
+
+Version 4.76
+------------
+
+ 1. The global option "dns_use_edns0" may be set to coerce EDNS0 usage on
+    or off in the resolver library.

+ 2. The pipe transport now takes a boolean option, "freeze_signal", default
+    false.  When true, if the external delivery command exits on a signal then
+    Exim will freeze the message in the queue, instead of generating a bounce.
+
+ 3. Log filenames may now use %M as an escape, instead of %D (still available).
+    The %M pattern expands to yyyymm, providing month-level resolution.
+
+ 4. The $message_linecount variable is now updated for the maildir_tag option,
+    in the same way as $message_size, to reflect the real number of lines,
+    including any header additions or removals from transport.
+
+ 5. When contacting a pool of SpamAssassin servers configured in spamd_address,
+    Exim now selects entries randomly, to better scale in a cluster setup.
