The existing "accept_8bitmime" option now defaults to true. This means that Exim is deliberately not strictly RFC compliant. We're following Dan Bernstein's advice in http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html by default. Those who disagree, or know that they are talking to mail servers that, even today, are not 8-bit clean, need to turn off this option. - 9.

With OpenSSL, if built with EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP, a new option tls_ocsp_file is now available. If the contents of the file are valid, then Exim will send that back in response to a TLS status request; this is OCSP Stapling. Exim will not maintain the contents of the file in any way: administrators
