 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
@@ -89,6 +89,59 @@ PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
 PH/15 Minor change to Makefile for building test_host (undocumented testing
       feature).
 
+PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
+      additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
+      Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
+      major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
+      type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
+      fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
+      address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
+      values from the SRV records were lost.
+
+PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not
+      using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry
+      rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint.
+
+PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
+      adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
+      errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
+
+PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
+      failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
+      it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
+      message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
+      behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
+      "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
+      when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
+      "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
+      delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.
+
+PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as
+      $1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some
+      expansion items (e.g. "match"), thereby losing the authentication data.
+
+PH/21 Make -bV show the size of off_t variables so that the test suite can
+      decide whether to run tests for quotas > 2G.
+
+PH/22 Test the values given for quota, quota_filecount, quota_warn_threshold,
+      mailbox_size, and mailbox_filecount in the appendfile transport. If a
+      filecount value is greater than 2G or if a quota value is greater than 2G
+      on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error
+      is given.
+
+PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can
+      never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error
+      message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask.
+
+PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address
+      1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and
+      PH/23 above applies.
+
+PH/25 Do not write to syslog when running in the test harness. The only
+      occasion when this arises is a failure to open the main or panic logs
+      (for which there is an explicit test).
