  1. New command-line option -bI:sieve will list all supported sieve extensions

     Supported values depend upon system libraries.  "exim -bI:dscp" to list the
     ones Exim knows of.  You can also set a raw number 0..0x3F.
 
+ 6. The -G command-line flag is no longer ignored; it is now equivalent to an
+    ACL setting "control = suppress_local_fixups".  The -L command-line flag
+    is now accepted and forces use of syslog, with the provided tag as the
+    process name.  A few other flags used by Sendmail are now accepted and
+    ignored.
+
+ 7. New cutthrough routing feature.  Requested by a "control = cutthrough_delivery"
+    ACL modifier; works for single-recipient mails which are recieved on and
+    deliverable via SMTP.  Using the connection made for a recipient verify,
+    if requested before the verify, or a new one made for the purpose while
+    the inbound connection is still active.  The bulk of the mail item is copied
+    direct from the inbound socket to the outbound (as well as the spool file).
+    When the source notifies the end of data, the data acceptance by the destination
+    is negociated before the acceptance is sent to the source.  If the destination
+    does not accept the mail item, for example due to content-scanning, the item
+    is not accepted from the source and therefore there is no need to generate
+    a bounce mail.  This is of benefit when providing a secondary-MX service.
+    The downside is that delays are under the control of the ultimate destination
+    system not your own.
+
+    The Recieved-by: header on items delivered by cutthrough is generated
+    early in reception rather than at the end; this will affect any timestamp
+    included.  The log line showing delivery is recorded before that showing
+    reception; it uses a new ">>" tag instead of "=>".
+
+    To support the feature, verify-callout connections can now use ESMTP and TLS.
+    The usual smtp transport options are honoured, plus a (new, default everything)
+    hosts_verify_avoid_tls.
+
+    New variable families named tls_in_cipher, tls_out_cipher etc. are introduced
+    for specific access to the information for each connection.  The old names
+    are present for now but deprecated.
+
+    Not yet supported: IGNOREQUOTA, SIZE, PIPELINING, AUTH.
+
+ 8. New expansion operators ${listnamed:name} to get the content of a named list
+    and ${listcount:string} to count the items in a list.
+
+ 9. New global option "gnutls_enable_pkcs11", defaults false.  The GnuTLS
+    rewrite in 4.80 combines with GnuTLS 2.12.0 or later, to autoload PKCS11
+    modules.  For some situations this is desirable, but we expect admin in
+    those situations to know they want the feature.  More commonly, it means
+    that GUI user modules get loaded and are broken by the setuid Exim being
+    unable to access files specified in environment variables and passed
+    through, thus breakage.  So we explicitly inhibit the PKCS11 initialisation
+    unless this new option is set.
+
+10. The "acl = name" condition on an ACL now supports optional arguments.
+    New expansion item "${acl {name}{arg}...}" and expansion condition
+    "acl {{name}{arg}...}" are added.  In all cases up to nine arguments
+    can be used, appearing in $acl_arg1 to $acl_arg9 for the called ACL.
+    Variable $acl_narg contains the number of arguments.  If the ACL sets
+    a "message =" value this becomes the result of the expansion item,
+    or the value of $value for the expansion condition.  If the ACL returns
+    accept the expansion condition is true; if reject, false.  A defer
+    return results in a forced fail.
+
+11. Routers and transports can now have multiple headers_add and headers_remove
+    option lines.  The concatenated list is used.
+
+12. New ACL modifier "remove_header" can remove headers before message gets
+    handled by routers/transports.
+
+13. New dnsdb lookup pseudo-type "a+".  A sequence of "a6" (if configured),
+    "aaaa" and "a" lookups is done and the full set of results returned.
+
+14. New expansion variable $headers_added with content from ACL add_header
+    modifier (but not yet added to messsage).
+
+15. New 8bitmime status logging option for received messages.  Log field "M8S".
+
+16. New authenticated_sender logging option, adding to log field "A".
