Provide a NewStuff description for 4.72.
Don't blame Dan Rosenberg for the incomplete hack I applied to the MBX case.

New Features in Exim
--------------------

Version 4.72
------------
+ 1. TWO SECURITY FIXES: one relating to mail-spools which are globally
+ writable, the other to locking of MBX folders (not mbox).
+
+ 2. MySQL stored procedures are now supported.
+
+ 3. The dkim_domain transport option is now a list, not a single string, and
+ messages will be signed for each element in the list (discarding
+ duplicates).
+
+ 4. The 4.70 release unexpectedly changed the behaviour of dnsdb TXT lookups
+ in the presence of multiple character strings within the RR. Prior to 4.70,
+ only the first string would be returned. The dnsdb lookup now, by default,
+ preserves the pre-4.70 semantics, but also now takes an extended output
+ separator specification. The first output separator is used to join
+ multiple TXT records together; use a second separator character, followed
+ by a colon, to join the strings within a TXT record on that second
+ character, or use a semicolon to concatenate strings within a TXT record
+ with no separator. Administrators are reminded that DNS provides no
+ ordering guarantees between multiple records in an RRset. For example:
+
+ foo.example. IN TXT "a" "b" "c"
+ foo.example. IN TXT "d" "e" "f"
+
+ ${lookup dnsdb{>/ txt=foo.example}} -> "a/d"
+ ${lookup dnsdb{>/; txt=foo.example}} -> "def/abc"
+ ${lookup dnsdb{>/+: txt=foo.example}} -> "a+b+c/d+e+f"
+
+ Some character combinations are currently unsupported.
