+-----------------
+
+ * GnuTLS will now attempt to use TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.1 before TLS 1.0 and SSL3,
+   if supported by your GnuTLS library.  Use the existing
+   "gnutls_require_protocols" option to downgrade this if that will be a
+   problem.  Prior to this release, supported values were "TLS1" and "SSL3",
+   so you should be able to update configuration prior to update.
+
+ * The match_<type>{string1}{string2} expansion conditions no longer subject
+   string2 to string expansion, unless Exim was built with the new
+   "EXPAND_LISTMATCH_RHS" option.  Too many people have inadvertently created
+   insecure configurations that way.  If you need the functionality and turn on
+   that build option, please let the developers know, and know why, so we can
+   try to provide a safer mechanism for you.
+
+   The match{}{} expansion condition (for regular expressions) is NOT affected.
+   For match_<type>{s1}{s2}, all list functionality is unchanged.  The only
+   change is that a '$' appearing in s2 will not trigger expansion, but instead
+   will be treated as a literal $ sign; the effect is very similar to having
+   wrapped s2 with \N...\N.  If s2 contains a named list and the list definition
+   uses $expansions then those _will_ be processed as normal.  It is only the
+   point at which s2 is read where expansion is inhibited.
+
+   If you are trying to test if two email addresses are equal, use eqi{s1}{s2}.
+   If you are testing if the address in s1 occurs in the list of items given
+   in s2, either use the new inlisti{s1}{s2} condition (added in 4.77) or use
+   the pre-existing forany{s2}{eqi{$item}{s1}} condition.
