 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
 
+Exim version 4.61
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
+      system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
+      systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
+      code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
+      IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
+      that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
+      addresses as local.
+

 Exim version 4.60
 -----------------
 
@@ -161,6 +173,11 @@ PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
       by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
       the text comparison.
 
+PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
+      given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
+      form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
+      The same fix has been applied.
