NewStuff is somewhat bare in the 4.70 release. I see from CVS that the
solution chosen is to expand the 4.70 section when 4.71 comes out.
I worked through ChangeLog and the patches which, in addition, I know
went in -- but that latter category is strongly biased towards patches I
wrote. This patch adds seven items to NewStuff, four of which are based
on my patches (and one of which I was involved in the discussion for).
What else needs to go into NewStuff?
Regards,
-Phil, now looking at needing to write a doc patch for randint.

2. Experimental DCC support via dccifd (contributed by Wolfgang Breyha).
+ 3. There is now a bool{} expansion condition which maps certain strings to
+ true/false condition values (most likely of use in conjuction with the
+ and{} expansion operator).

+ 4. The $spam_score, $spam_bar and $spam_report variables are now available

+ 5. exim -bP now supports "macros", "macro_list" or "macro MACRO_NAME" as
+ options, provided that Exim is invoked by an admin_user.
+
+ 6. There is a new option gnutls_compat_mode, when linked against GnuTLS,
+ which increases compatibility with older clients at the cost of decreased
+ security. Don't set this unless you need to support such clients.
+
+ 7. There is a new expansion operator, ${randint:...} which will produce a
+ "random" number less than the supplied integer. This randomness is
+ not guaranteed to be cryptographically strong, but depending upon how
+ Exim was built may be better than the most naive schemes.
+
+ 8. Exim now explicitly ensures that SHA256 is available when linked against
+ OpenSSL.
+
+ 9. The transport_filter_timeout option now applies to SMTP transports too.
