+Exim version 4.89
+-----------------
+
+ * OpenSSL: oldest supported release series is now 1.0.2, which is the oldest
+   supported by the OpenSSL project.  If you can build Exim with an older
+   release series, congratulations.  If you can't, then upgrade.
+   The file doc/openssl.txt contains instructions for installing a current
+   OpenSSL outside the system library paths and building Exim to use it.
+
+
+Exim version 4.88
+-----------------
+
+ * The "demime" ACL condition, deprecated for the past 10 years, has
+   now been removed.
+
+ * Old GnuTLS configuration options "gnutls_require_kx", "gnutls_require_mac",
+   and "gnutls_require_protocols" have now been removed.  (Inoperative from
+   4.80, per below; logging warnings since 4.83, again per below).
+
+
+Exim version 4.83
+-----------------
+
+ * SPF condition results renamed "permerror" and "temperror".  The old
+   names are still accepted for back-compatability, for this release.
+
+ * TLS details are now logged on rejects, subject to log selectors.
+
+ * Items in headers_remove lists must now have any embedded list-separators
+   doubled.
+
+ * Attempted use of the deprecated options "gnutls_require_kx" et. al.
+   now result in logged warning.
+
+
+Exim version 4.82
+-----------------
+
+ * New option gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 defaults false; if you have GnuTLS 2.12.0
+   or later and do want PKCS11 modules to be autoloaded, then set this option.
+
+ * A per-transport wait-<name> database is no longer updated if the transport
+   sets "connection_max_messages" to 1, as it can not be used and causes
+   unnecessary serialisation and load.  External tools tracking the state of
+   Exim by the hints databases may need modification to take this into account.
+
+ * The av_scanner option can now accept multiple clamd TCP targets, all other
+   setting limitations remain.

+ * For OpenSSL, SSLv2 is now disabled by default.  (GnuTLS does not support
+   SSLv2).  RFC 6176 prohibits SSLv2 and some informal surveys suggest no
+   actual usage.  You can re-enable with the "openssl_options" Exim option,
+   in the main configuration section.  Note that supporting SSLv2 exposes
+   you to ciphersuite downgrade attacks.

  * With OpenSSL 1.0.1+, Exim now supports TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.  If built
    against 1.0.1a then you will get a warning message and the
