It mentions it in section 1.1 "Exim documentation". Maybe it could be
bigger, but too late now for the 4.20 manual.

For a long time now I have placed the NewStuff file for each individual
release in a separate file on the ftp site, both plain and gzipped, in
the ChangeLogs directory. So what you want is already there! For
example:
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/ChangeLogs/NewStuff-4.14.gz
However, now that I come to think of it, those files are not cumulative.
So you would have to concatentate all of those whose numbers postdate
the documentation number.
Hmm. Should I change to putting cumulative NewStuff files there instead?
Now is a good time to make a change, because the NewStuff file for the
4.20 release is going to empty.
