I have uploaded Exim 4.80 RC4 to:
    ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test/


There was no RC3; there are some changes since RC2 worthy of note.

There is a new option "tls_dh_max_bits" which affects TLS; with OpenSSL,
it may cause a "tls_dhparams" file to be ignored. With GnuTLS, the
number of bits GnuTLS recommends be used for Diffie-Hellman generation
will be clamped to at most this value. The default "tls_dh_max_bits" is
the current maximum allowed by the NSS security library used by Mozilla
products such as Thunderbird. This resolves a GnuTLS vs NSS
interoperability problem.

Exim will now check the configured value of "tls_require_ciphers" at
startup; what was an error that would cause Exim to fail STARTTLS will
instead cause Exim to fail to start. This exposes latent
misconfiguration and makes it clearer that something is going wrong.
This also avoids the risk of crashes while talking to a remote server,
if there are library linkage problems, reducing the chances of anything
being exploitable.
