 11. Exim has been modified so that it flushes SMTP output before implementing
-    a delay in an ACL. This behaviour can be disabled by obeying control =
-    no_delay_flush at some earlier point.
+    a delay in an ACL. It also flushes the output before performing a callout,
+    as this can take a substantial time. These behaviours can be disabled by
+    obeying control = no_delay_flush or control = no_callout_flush,
+    respectively, at some earlier stage of the connection. The effect of the
+    new default behaviour is to disable the PIPELINING optimization in these
+    situations, in order to avoid unexpected timeouts in clients.
 
 12. There are two new expansion conditions that iterate over a list. They are
     called forany and forall, and they are used like this:
