+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/18 Authentication: the gsasl driver not provides the $authN variables in time
+ for the expansion of the server_scram_iter and server_scram_salt options.
+
+WB/01 SPF: DNS lookups for the obsolete SPF RR type done by the libspf2 library
+ are now specifically given a NO_DATA response without hitting the system
+ resolver. The library goes on to do the now-standard TXT lookup.
+ Use of dnsdb lookups is not affected.
+
+JH/19 Bug 2507: Modules: on handling a dynamic-module (lookups) open failure,
+ only retrieve the errormessage once. Previously two calls to dlerror()
+ were used, and the second one (for mainlog/paniclog) retrieved null
+ information.
+
+JH/20 Taint checking: disallow use of tainted data for
+ - the appendfile transport file and directory options
+ - the pipe transport command
+ - the autoreply transport file, log and once options
+ - file names used by the redirect router (including filter files)
+ - named-queue names
+ Previously this was permitted.
+
+JH/21 Bug 2501: Fix init call in the heimdal authenticator. Previously it
+ adjusted the size of a major service buffer; this failed because the
+ buffer was in use at the time. Change to a compile-time increase in the
+ buffer size, when this authenticator is compiled into exim.
+
+JH/22 Taint-checking: move to safe-mode taint checking on all platforms. The
+ previous fast-mode was untenable in the face of glibs using mmap to
+ support larger malloc requests.
+
+PP/01 Update the openssl_options possible values through OpenSSL 1.1.1c.
+ New values supported, if defined on system where compiled:
+ allow_no_dhe_kex, cryptopro_tlsext_bug, enable_middlebox_compat,
+ no_anti_replay, no_encrypt_then_mac, prioritize_chacha, tlsext_padding
