 New Features in Exim
 --------------------
 
-This file contains descriptions of new features that have been added to Exim,
-but have not yet made it into the main manual (which is most conveniently
-updated when there is a relatively large batch of changes). The doc/ChangeLog
-file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes.
+This file contains descriptions of new features that have been added to Exim.
+Before a formal release, there may be quite a lot of detail so that people can
+test from the snapshots or the CVS before the documentation is updated. Once
+the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list.
+
+
+Version 4.64
+------------
+
+ 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.
+
 
 Version 4.63
 ------------
 
 1. There is a new Boolean option called filter_prepend_home for the redirect
-   router. It defaults true, for backward compatibility. If a "save" command in
-   an Exim filter has a relative path for its argument, and $home is defined,
-   it is automatically prepended to the relative path. This action can now be
-   prevented by setting filter_prepend_home false.
+   router.
+
+2. There is a new acl, set by acl_not_smtp_start, which is run right at the
+   start of receiving a non-SMTP message, before any of the message has been
+   read.
+
+3. When an SMTP error message is specified in a "message" modifier in an ACL,
+   or in a :fail: or :defer: message in a redirect router, Exim now checks the
+   start of the message for an SMTP error code.
+
+4. There is a new parameter for LDAP lookups called "referrals", which takes
+   one of the settings "follow" (the default) or "nofollow".
+
+5. Version 20070721.2 of exipick now included, offering these new options:
+    --reverse
+        After all other sorting options have bee processed, reverse order
+        before displaying messages (-R is synonym).
+    --random
+        Randomize order of matching messages before displaying.
+    --size
+        Instead of displaying the matching messages, display the sum
+        of their sizes.
+    --sort <variable>[,<variable>...]
+        Before displaying matching messages, sort the messages according to
+        each messages value for each variable.
+    --not
+        Negate the value for every test (returns inverse output from the
+        same criteria without --not).
