 ------------
 
-1. ACL variables can now be given arbitrary names, as long as they start with
-   "acl_c" or "acl_m" (for connection variables and message variables) and are
-   at least 6 characters long. However, only alphanumeric characters and
-   underscores are allowed. This is a compatible change because the old set of
-   variables such as acl_m12 are a subset of the allowed names. There may now
-   be any number of ACL variables. For example:
-
-     set acl_c_foo = something
-     set acl_ccc   = thingsome
-     set acl_m13   = value for original ACL variable
-     set acl_m13b  = whatever
-
-   What happens if an undefined ACL variable is referenced depends on the
-   setting of the strict_acl_vars option. If it is false (the default), an
-   empty string is substituted; if it is true, an error is generated. This
-   affects all ACL variables, including the "old" ones such as acl_c4.
-   (Previously there wasn't the concept of an undefined ACL variable.)
-
-   The implementation has been done in such a way that spool files containing
-   ACL variable settings written by previous releases of Exim are compatible
-   and can be read by the new release. If only the original numeric names are
-   used, spool files written by the new release can be read by earlier
-   releases.
+ 1. ACL variables can now be given arbitrary names, as long as they start with
+    "acl_c" or "acl_m" (for connection variables and message variables), are at
+    least six characters long, with the sixth character being either a digit or
+    an underscore.
+
+ 2. There is a new ACL modifier called log_reject_target. It makes it possible
+    to specify which logs are used for messages about ACL rejections.
+
+ 3. There is a new authenticator called "dovecot". This is an interface to the
+    authentication facility of the Dovecot POP/IMAP server, which can support a
+    number of authentication methods.
+
+ 4. The variable $message_headers_raw provides a concatenation of all the
+    messages's headers without any decoding. This is in contrast to
+    $message_headers, which does RFC2047 decoding on the header contents.
+
+ 5. In a DNS black list, if two domain names, comma-separated, are given, the
+    second is used first to do an initial check, making use of any IP value
+    restrictions that are set. If there is a match, the first domain is used,
+    without any IP value restrictions, to get the TXT record.
+
+ 6. All authenticators now have a server_condition option.
+
+ 7. There is a new command-line option called -Mset. It is useful only in
+    conjunction with -be (that is, when testing string expansions). It must be
+    followed by a message id; Exim loads the given message from its spool
+    before doing the expansions.
+
+ 8. Another similar new command-line option is called -bem. It operates like
+    -be except that it must be followed by the name of a file that contains a
+    message.
+
+ 9. When an address is delayed because of a 4xx response to a RCPT command, it
+    is now the combination of sender and recipient that is delayed in
+    subsequent queue runs until its retry time is reached.
+
+10. Unary negation and the bitwise logical operators and, or, xor, not, and
+    shift, have been added to the eval: and eval10: expansion items.
+
+11. The variables $interface_address and $interface_port have been renamed
+    as $received_ip_address and $received_port, to make it clear that they
+    relate to message reception rather than delivery. (The old names remain
+    available for compatibility.)
+
+12. The "message" modifier can now be used on "accept" and "discard" acl verbs
+    to vary the message that is sent when an SMTP command is accepted.
