It's time for another release.

This will be mostly bugfixes content; for details please read
the ChangeLog file. As far as features go:

There is a major introduction of parallel-operations in 2-phase
queue runs. This is expected to help a) sites that dump a
large number of messages into spool in a very short time
(think: mailinglists and mailshots) and b) secondary MX's
for large sites, after a primary outage.

For other introductions of interest, please read the NewStuff file.
Incompatabilities are noted in the README.UPDATING file.


As usual for our run-up to release, new features are still being
accepted at this early stage. I am aware of at least one which
I'm hoping will be. A later Release Candidate will also announce the
change to bugs-only.

A 4.next git branch will become active for work that is not intended
to go into the 4.94 release. As always, git://git.exim.org/exim.git
is the reference repo. The commit for RC0 is 1e1ddfac79.



The ftp site, at ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test/
now has the RC0 release candidate.
