     is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
     $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
 
+32. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
+    such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
+    encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
+    generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
+    have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
+    1024 to 2048 bytes.
+
+33. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
+    condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
+    is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
+    cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
+
+34. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
+    there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
+    respected.
+
+35. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
+    canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
+    $sender_host_address.
+
+36. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
+    "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
+    that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
+    for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
+    per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
+    very small.
+
+37. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
+
+    (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
+        finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
+
+    (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
+        just the host names, not the priorities.
+
+    (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
+        looked up.
+
+    (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
+        multiple records are returned.
+
+38. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
+    a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
+    domain.
+
+39. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
+
+40. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
+    delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
+
+41. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
+    to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
+    of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
+
+42. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
+
+43. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
+
+44. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
+
+45. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
+    transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
+    < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
+    introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
+    because the tests only now provoked it.
+
+46. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
+    (this can affect the format of dates).
+
+47. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
+    which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
+    messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
+    deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
+
+48. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
+
+49. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
+    on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
+    contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
+    was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
