+ * accept_8bitmime now defaults on, which is not RFC compliant but is better
+ suited to today's Internet. See http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html for a
+ sane rationale. Those who wish to be strictly RFC compliant, or know that
+ they need to talk to servers that are not 8-bit-clean, now need to take
+ explicit configuration action to default this option off. This is not a
+ new option, you can safely force it off before upgrading, to decouple
+ configuration changes from the binary upgrade while remaining RFC compliant.
+
+ * The GnuTLS support has been mostly rewritten, to use 2.12.x APIs. As part
+ of this, these three options are no longer supported:
+
+ gnutls_require_kx
+ gnutls_require_mac
+ gnutls_require_protocols
+
+ Their functionality is entirely subsumed into tls_require_ciphers, which is
+ no longer parsed apart by Exim but is instead given to
+ gnutls_priority_init(3), which is no longer an Exim list. See:
+
+ http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html
+
+ for fuller documentation of the strings parsed. The three gnutls_require_*
+ options are still parsed by Exim and, for this release, silently ignored.
+ A future release will add warnings, before a later still release removes
+ parsing entirely and the presence of the options will be a configuration
+ error.
+
+ This rewrite means that Exim will continue to build against GnuTLS in the
+ future, brings Exim closer to other GnuTLS applications and lets us add
+ support for SNI and other features more readily. We regret that it wasn't
+ feasible to retain the three dropped options.
