+ 5. Facility for named queues: A command-line argument can specify
the queue name for a queue operation, and an ACL modifier can set
the queue to be used for a message. A $queue_name variable gives
visibility.
+ 6. New expansion operators base32/base32d.
+
+ 7. The CHUNKING ESMTP extension from RFC 3030. May give some slight
+ performance increase and network load decrease. Main config option
+ chunking_advertise_hosts, and smtp transport option hosts_try_chunking
+ for control.
+
+ 8. LMDB lookup support, as Experimental. Patch supplied by Andrew Colin Kissa.
+
+ 9. Expansion operator escape8bit, like escape but not touching newline etc..
+
+10. Feature macros, generated from compile options. All start with "_HAVE_"
+ and go on with some roughly recognisable name. Driver macros, for
+ router, transport and authentication drivers; names starting with "_DRIVER_".
+ Option macros, for each configuration-file option; all start with "_OPT_".
+ Use the "-bP macros" command-line option to see what is present.
+
+11. Integer values for options can take a "G" multiplier.
+
+12. defer=pass option for the ACL control cutthrough_delivery, to reflect 4xx
+ returns from the target back to the initiator, rather than spooling the
+ message.
+
+13. New built-in constants available for tls_dhparam and default changed.
+
+14. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_QUEUEFILE, a queuefile transport, for writing
+ out copies of the message spool files for use by 3rd-party scanners.

+15. A new option on the smtp transport, hosts_try_fastopen. If the system
+ supports it (on Linux it must be enabled in the kernel by the sysadmin)
+ try to use RFC 7413 "TCP Fast Open". No data is sent on the SYN segment
+ but it permits a peer that also supports the facility to send its SMTP
+ banner immediately after the SYN,ACK segment rather then waiting for
+ another ACK - so saving up to one roundtrip time. Because it requires
+ previous communication with the peer (we save a cookie from it) this
+ will only become active on frequently-contacted destinations.
+
+16. A new syslog_pid option to suppress PID duplication in syslog lines.
