 that might affect a running system.
 
 
+Exim version 4.92
+-----------------
+
+ * Exim used to manually follow CNAME chains, to a limited depth.  In this
+   day-and-age we expect the resolver to be doing this for us, so the loop
+   is limited to one retry unless the (new) config option dns_cname_loops
+   is changed.
+
+Exim version 4.91
+-----------------
+
+ * DANE and SPF have been promoted from Experimental to Supported status, thus
+   the options to enable them in Local/Makefile have been renamed.
+   See current src/EDITME for full details, including changes in dependencies,
+   but loosely: replace EXPERIMENTAL_SPF with SUPPORT_SPF and replace
+   EXPERIMENTAL_DANE with SUPPORT_DANE.
+
+ * Ancient ClamAV stream support, long deprecated by ClamAV, has been removed;
+   if you were building with WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM enabled then your problems
+   have marginally increased.
+
+ * A number of logging changes; if relying upon the previous DKIM additional
+   log-line, explicit log_selector configuration is needed to keep it.
+
+ * Other incompatible changes in EXPERIMENTAL_* features, read NewStuff and
+   ChangeLog carefully if relying upon an experimental feature such as DMARC.
+   Note that this includes changes to SPF as it was promoted into Supported.
+
+
+Exim version 4.89
+-----------------
+
+ * SMTP CHUNKING in Exim 4.88 did not ensure that received mails had a final
+   newline; attempts to deliver such messages onwards to non-chunking hosts
+   would probably hang, as Exim does not insert the newline before a ".".
+   In 4.89, the newline is added upon receipt.  For already-received messages
+   in your queue, try util/chunking_fixqueue_finalnewlines.pl
+   to walk the queue, fixing any affected messages.  Note that because a
+   delivery attempt will be hanging, attempts to lock the messages for fixing
+   them will stall; stopping all queue-runners temporarily is recommended.
+
+ * OpenSSL: oldest supported release series is now 1.0.2, which is the oldest
+   supported by the OpenSSL project.  If you can build Exim with an older
+   release series, congratulations.  If you can't, then upgrade.
+   The file doc/openssl.txt contains instructions for installing a current
+   OpenSSL outside the system library paths and building Exim to use it.
+
+ * FreeBSD: we now always use the system iconv in libc, as all versions of
+   FreeBSD supported by the FreeBSD project provide this functionality.
