-----------------
fetchmail-6.4.2 (released 2020-02-14, 27473 LoC):
## BREAKING CHANGES:
* fetchmailconf now supports Python 3 and currently requires the "future"
package, see https://pypi.org/project/future/.
* fetchmailconf: The minimum supported version is now Python 2.7.13, but it is
recommended to use at least 2.7.16 (due to its massive SSL updates).
Older Python versions may check SSL certificates not strictly enough,
which may cause fetchmail to complain later, if the certificate verify fails.
* fetchmailconf now autoprobes SSL-wrapped connections (ports 993 and 995 for
IMAP and POP3) as well and by preference.
* fetchmailconf now defaults newly created users to "ssl" if either of the
existing users sets ssl, or if the server has freshly been probed and
found supporting ssl.
There is a caveat: adding a user to an existing server without probing it
again may skip adding ssl. (This does not prevent STARTTLS.)
## BUG FIXES:
* Fix three bugs in fetchmail.man (one unterminated string to .IP macro, one
line that ran into a .PP macro, .TH date format), and remove one .br request
from inside the table, which is unsupported by FreeBSD 12's mandoc(1)
formatter. FreeBSD Bug#241032, reported by Helge Oldach.
* Further man page fixes and additions by Chris Mayo and Gregor Zattler.
* When evaluating the need for STARTTLS in non-default configurations (SSL
certificate validation turned off), fetchmail would only consider --sslproto
tls1 as requiring STARTTLS, now all non-empty protocol versions do.
* fetchmailconf now properly writes "no sslcertck" if sslcertck is disabled.
* fetchmailconf now catches and reports OS errors (including DNS errors) when
autoprobing. Reported as Gitlab issue #12 by Sergey Alirzaev.
* fetchmailconf received a host of other bugfixes, see the Git commit log.
## CHANGES:
* Make t.smoke more robust and use temporary directory as FETCHMAILHOME, to make
sure that the home directory resolves for the user running the test suite
even if the environment isn't perfect. Reported by Konstantin Belousov,
analysed by Corey Halpin, FreeBSD Bug#240914.

------------------
fetchmail-6.4.1 (released 2019-09-28, 27473 LoC):
## REGRESSION FIXES:
* The bug fix Debian Bug#941129 was incomplete and caused
+ a regression in the default file locations, so that fetchmail was no longer
able to find its configuration files in some situations.
Reported by Cy Schubert.
+ a regression under _FORTIFY_SOURCE where PATH_MAX > minimal _POSIX_PATH_MAX.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchmail 6.4.0 (released 2019-09-27, 27429 LoC):
# NOTE THAT FETCHMAIL IS NO LONGER PUBLISHED THROUGH IBIBLIO.
* They have stopped accepting submissions and consider themselves an archive.
## SECURITY FIXES THAT AFFECT BEHAVIOUR AND MAY REQUIRE RECONFIGURATION
* Fetchmail no longer supports SSLv2.
* Fetchmail no longer attempts to negotiate SSLv3 by default,
even with --sslproto ssl23. Fetchmail can now use SSLv3, or TLSv1.1 or a newer
TLS version, with STLS/STARTTLS (it would previously force TLSv1.0 with
STARTTLS). If the OpenSSL version used at build and run-time supports these
versions, --sslproto ssl3 and --sslproto ssl3+ can be used to re-enable SSLv3.
Doing so is discouraged because the SSLv3 protocol is broken.
Along the lines suggested - as patch - by Kurt Roeckx, Debian Bug #768843.
While this change is supposed to be compatible with common configurations,
users may have to and are advised to change all explicit --sslproto ssl2
(change to newer protocols required), --sslproto ssl3, --sslproto tls1 to
--sslproto auto, so that they can benefit from TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 where
supported by the server.
The --sslproto option now understands the values auto, ssl3+, tls1+, tls1.1,
tls1.1+, tls1.2, tls1.2+, tls1.3, tls1.3+ (case insensitively), see CHANGES
below for details.
* Fetchmail defaults to --sslcertck behaviour. A new option --nosslcertck to
override this has been added, but may be removed in future fetchmail versions
in favour of another configuration option that makes the insecurity in using
this option clearer.
## SECURITY FIXES
* Fetchmail prevents buffer overruns in GSSAPI authentication with user names
beyond c. 6000 characters in length. Reported by Greg Hudson.
## CHANGED REQUIREMENTS
* fetchmail 6.4.0 is written in C99 and requires a SUSv3 (Single Unix
Specification v3, a superset of POSIX.1-2001 aka. IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 with
XSI extension) compliant system. For now, a C89 compiler should also work
if the system is SUSv3 compliant.
In particular, older fetchmail versions had workaround for several functions
standardized in the Single Unix Specification v3, these have been removed.
The trio/ library has been removed from the distribution.
## CHANGES
* fetchmail 6.3.X is unsupported.
* fetchmail now configures OpenSSL support by default.
* fetchmail now requires OpenSSL v1.0.2 or newer.
* Fetchmail now supports --sslproto auto and --sslproto tls1+ (same as ssl23).
* --sslproto tls1.1+, tls1.2+, and tls1.3+ are now supported for
auto-negotiation with a minimum specified TLS protocol version, and --sslproto
tls1.1, --sslproto tls1.2 and --sslproto tls1.3 to force the specified TLS
protocol version. Note that tls1.3 requires OpenSSL v1.1.1 or newer.
* Fetchmail now detects if the server hangs up prematurely during SSL_connect()
and reports this condition as such, and not just as SSL connection failure.
(OpenSSL 1.0.2 reported incompatible with pop3.live.com by Jerry Seibert).
* A foreground fetchmail can now accept a few more options while another copy is
running in the background.
* fetchmail now handles POP3 --keep UID lists more efficiently, by using Rainer
Weikusat's P-Tree implementation. This reduces the complexity for handling
a large UIDL from O(n^2) to O(n log n) and becomes noticably faster with
thousands of kept messages.
(IMAP does not currently track UIDs and is unaffected.)
At the same time, the UIDL emulation code for deficient servers has been
removed. It never worked really well. Servers that do not implement the
optional UIDL command only work with --fetchall option set, which in itself is
incompatible with the --keep option (it would cause message duplication).
* fetchmail, when setting up TLS connections, now uses SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
to set up the SNI (Server Name Indication). Some servers (for instance
googlemail) require SNI when using newer SSL protocols.
* Fetchmail now sets the expected hostname through OpenSSL 1.0.2's new
X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host() function to enable OpenSSL's native certificate
verification features.
* fetchmail will drop the connection when fetching with IMAP and receiving an
unexpected untagged "* BYE" response, to work around certain faulty servers.
* The FETCHMAIL_POP3_FORCE_RETR environment variable is now documented,
it forces fetchmail, when talking POP3, to always use the RETR command,
even if it would otherwise use the TOP command.
* Fetchmail's configure stage will try to query pkg-config or pkgconf for libssl
and libcrypto, in case other system use .pc files to document specific library
dependencies. (contributed by Fabrice Fontaine, GitLab merge request !14.)
* The gethostbyname() API calls and compatibility functions have been removed.
* These translations are shipped but not installed by default because
they have less than 500 translated messages out of 714: el fi gl pt_BR sk tr
-> Greek, Finnish, Galician, Brazilian Portuguese, Slovak, Turkish.
* Fetchmail now refuses delivery if the MDA option contains single-quoted
expansions.
## FIXES
* Fix a typo in the FAQ. Submitted by David Lawyer, Debian Bug#706776.
* Do not translate header tags such as "Subject:". Reported by Gonzalo Pérez de
Olaguer Córdoba, Debian Bug#744907.
* Convert most links from berlios.de to sourceforge.net.
* Report error to stderr, and exit, if --idle is combined with multiple
accounts.
* Point to --idle from GENERAL OPERATION to clarify --idle and multiple
mailboxes do not mix. In response to Jeremy Chadwick's trouble 2014-11-19,
fetchmail-users mailing list.
* Fix SSL-enabled build on systems that do not declare SSLv3_client_method(),
or that #define OPENSSL_NO_SSL3 inside #include <openssl/ssl.h>
Related to Debian Bug#775255. Fixes Debian Bug #804604.
* Version report lists -SSLv3 on SSL-enabled no-ssl3 builds.
* Fetchmail no longer adds a NUL byte to the username in GSSAPI authentication.
This was reported to break Kerberos-based authentication with Microsoft
Exchange 2013 by Greg Hudson.
* Set umask properly before writing the .fetchids file, to avoid failing the
security check on the next run. Reported by Fabian Raab,
Fixes Debian Bug#831611.
* When forwarding by LMTP, also check antispam response code when collecting
the responses after the CR LF . CR LF sequence at the end of the DATA phase.
(Contributed by Evil.2000, GitLab merge request !12.)
* fetchmail will not try other protocols after a socket error. This avoids
mismatches of how different prococols see messages as "seen" and re-fetches
of known mail. (Fix contributed by Lauri Nurmi, GitLab Merge Request !10.)
* fetchmail no longer reports "System error during SSL_connect(): Success."
Fixes Debian Bug#928916, reported by Paul Kimoto.
* fetchmailconf would ignore Edit or Delete actions on the first (topmost)
item in a list (no matter if server list, user list, ...).
* The mimedecode feature now properly detects multipart/mixed-type matches, so
that quoted-printable-encoded multipart messages can get decoded.
(Regression in 5.0.0 on 1999-03-27, as a side effect of a PGP-mimedecode fix
attributed to Henrik Storner.)
* FETCHMAILHOME can now safely be a relative path, which will be qualified
through realpath(). Previously, it had to be absolute in daemon mode.
Reported by Alex Andreotti, Debian Bug#941129.

Changes:
fetchmail-6.3.26 (released 2013-04-23, 26180 LoC):
# NOTE THAT FETCHMAIL IS NO LONGER PUBLISHED THROUGH IBIBLIO.
* They have stopped accepting submissions and consider themselves an archive.
# CRITICAL BUG FIX for setups using "mimedecode":
* The mimedecode feature failed to ship the last line of the body if it was
encoded as quoted-printable and had a MIME soft line break in the very last
line. Reported by Lars Hecking in June 2011.
Bug introduced on 1998-03-20 when the mimedecode support was added by ESR
before release 4.4.1 through code contributed by Henrik Storner.
Workaround for older releases: do not use mimedecode feature.
Earlier versions of this NEWS file claimed this bug fixed in fetchmail-6.3.23,
but it was not.
Fixes Launchpad Bug#1171818.
fetchmail-6.3.25 (released 2013-03-18, 26149 LoC):
# NOTE THAT FETCHMAIL IS NO LONGER PUBLISHED THROUGH IBIBLIO.
* They have stopped accepting submissions and consider themselves an archive.
# BUG FIXES
* Fix a memory leak in out-of-memory error condition while handling plugins.
Report and patch by John Beck (found with Parfait static code analyzer).
* Fix a NULL pointer dereference in out-of-memory error condition while handling
plugins.
Report and patch by John Beck (found with Parfait static code analyzer).
# CHANGES
* Improved reporting when SSL/TLS X.509 certificate validation has failed,
working around a not-so-recent swapping of two OpenSSL error codes, and
a practical impossibility to distinguish broken certification chains from
missing trust anchors (root certificates).
* OpenSSL decoded errors are now reported through report(), rather than dumped
to stderr, so that they should show up in logfiles and/or syslog.
* The fetchmail manual page no longer claims that MD5 were the default OpenSSL
hash format (for use with --sslfingerprint). Reported by Jakob Wilk,
PARTIAL fix for Debian Bug#700266.
* The fetchmail manual page now refers the user to --softbounce from the
SMTP/ESMTP ERROR HANDLING section. Reported by Anton Shterenlikht.
# WORKAROUNDS
* Older systems that provide the older RFC-2553 implementation of getaddrinfo,
rather than the current RFC-3493, and systems that do not provide this
getaddrinfo() interface at all and thus use the replacement functions from
libesmtp/getaddrinfo.?, might return EAI_NODATA when a host is registered in
DNS as MX or similar, but without A or AAAA records. Handle this situation
when checking for multidrop aliases and treat EAI_NODATA the same as
EAI_NONAME, i. e. name cannot be resolved.
The proper fix, however, is to upgrade the operating system.

# SECURITY FIXES
* for CVE-2012-3482:
NTLM: fetchmail mistook an error message that the server sent in response to
an NTLM request for protocol exchange, tried to decode it, and crashed while
reading from a bad memory location.
Also, with a carefully crafted NTLM challenge packet sent from the server, it
would be possible that fetchmail conveyed confidential data not meant for the
server through the NTLM response packet.
Fix: Detect base64 decoding errors, validate the NTLM challenge, and abort
NTLM authentication in case of error.
See fetchmail-SA-2012-02.txt for further details.
Reported by J. Porter Clark.
* for CVE-2011-3389:
SSL/TLS (wrapped and STARTTLS): fetchmail used to disable a countermeasure
against a certain kind of attack against cipher block chaining initialization
vectors (SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS).
Whether this creates an exploitable situation, depends on the server and the
negotiated ciphers.
As a precaution, fetchmail 6.3.22 enables the countermeasure, by clearing
SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS.
NOTE that this can cause connections to certain non-conforming servers to
fail, in which case you can set the environment variable
FETCHMAIL_DISABLE_CBC_IV_COUNTERMEASURE to any non-empty value when starting
fetchmail to re-instate the compatibility option at the expense of security.
Reported by Apple Product Security.
For technical details, refer to <http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt>.
See fetchmail-SA-2012-01.txt for further details.
# BUG FIX
* The Server certificate: message in verbose mode now appears on stdout like the
remainder of the output. Reported by Henry Jensen, to fix Debian Bug #639807.
* The GSSAPI-related autoconf code now matches gssapi.c better, and uses
a different check to look for GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE.
This fixes the GSSAPI-enabled build on NetBSD 6 Beta.
# CHANGES
* On systems where SSLv2_client_method isn't defined in OpenSSL (such as
newer Debian, and Ubuntu starting with 11.10 oneiric ocelot), don't
reference it (to fix the build) and if configured, print a run-time error
that the OS does not support SSLv2. Fixes Debian Bug #622054,
but note that that bug report has a more thorough patch that does away with
SSLv2 altogether.
* The security and errata notices fetchmail-{EN,SA}-20??-??.txt are now
under the more relaxed CC BY-ND 3.0 license (the noncommercial clause
was dropped). The Creative Commons address was updated.
* The Python-related Makefile.am parts were simplified to avoid an automake
1.11.X bug around noinst_PYTHON, Automake Bug #10995.
* Configuring fetchmail without SSL now triggers a configure warning,
and asks the user to consider running configure --with-ssl.
# WORKAROUNDS
* Some servers, notably Zimbra, return A1234 987 FETCH () in response to
a header request, in the face of message corruption. fetchmail now treats
these as temporary errors. Report and Patch by Mikulas Patocka, Red Hat.
* Some servers, notably Microsoft Exchange, return "A0009 OK FETCH completed."
without any header in response to a header request for meeting reminder
messages (with a "meeting.ics" attachment). fetchmail now treats these as
transient errors. Report by John Connett, Patch by Sunil Shetye.

Changes since version 6.3.20:
- The IMAP client no longer inserts NUL bytes into the last line of a
message when it is not closed with a LF or CRLF sequence. Reported
by Antoine Levitt. As a side effect of the fix, and in order to
avoid a full rewrite, fetchmail will now CRLF-terminate the last
line fetched through IMAP, even if it is originally not terminated
by LF or CRLF. This bears no relevance if your messages end up in
mbox, but adds line termination for storages (like Maildir) that do
not require that the last line be LF- or CRLF-terminated.

Requested by PR#45030.
fetchmail-6.3.20 (released 2011-06-06, 26005 LoC):
# SECURITY BUG FIXES
* CVE-2011-1947:
STARTTLS: Fetchmail runs the IMAP STARTTLS or POP3 STLS negotiation with the
set timeout (default five minutes) now. This was reported missing, with
observed fetchmail freezes beyond a week, by Thomas Jarosch.
SSL-wrapped connections were unaffected by this timeout, so users of older
versions can force ssl-wrapped connections -- if supported by the server --
with the --ssl command line or ssl rcfile option.
See fetchmail-SA-2011-01.txt for further details.
# BUG FIXES
* IMAP: Do not search for UNSEEN messages in ranges. Usually, there are very few
new messages and most of the range searches result in nothing. Instead, split
the long response to make the IMAP driver think that there are multiple lines
of response. (Sunil Shetye)
* Do not print "skipping message" for old messages even in verbose mode. If
there are too many old messages, the logs just get filled without any real
activity. (Sunil Shetye) (suggested by Yunfan Jiang)
* Build: fetchmail now always uses its own MD5 implementation rather than trying
to find a system library with matched header. The library and header variants
found on systems are too diverse, and the code size saving is not worth any
more wasted user or programmer time.
# CHANGES
* Call strlen() only once when removing CRLF from a line. (Sunil Shetye)
* fetchmail sets Internet domain sockets to "keepalive" mode now. Note that
there is no portable way to configure actual timeouts for this mode, and some
systems only support a system-wide timeout setting. fetchmail does not
attempt to tune the time spans of keepalive mode.

# KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS
(this section floats upwards through the NEWS file so it stays with the
current release information - however, it was stuck with 6.3.8 for a while)
* fetchmail does not handle messages without Message-ID header well
(See sourceforge.net bug #780933)
* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
* Sun Workshop 6 (SPARC) is known to miscompile the configuration file lexer in
64-bit mode. Either compile 32-bit code or use GCC to compile 64-bit
fetchmail. Note that fetchmail doesn't take advantage of 64-bit code,
so compiling 32-bit SPARC code should not cause any difficulties.
* fetchmail does not track pending deletes over crashes.
* the command line interface is sometimes a bit stubborn, for instance,
fetchmail -s doesn't work with a daemon running.
* Linux systems may return duplicates of an IP address in some circumstances if
no or no global IPv6 addresses are configured.
(No workaround. Ubuntu Bug#582585, Novell Bug#606980.)
* Kerberos 5 may be broken, particularly on Heimdal, and provide bogus error
messages. This will not be fixed, because the maintainer has no Kerberos 5
server to test against. Use GSSAPI.
fetchmail-6.3.19 (released 2010-12-10, 25945 LoC):
# ERRATUM NOTICE ISSUED
* fetchmail 6.3.18 contains several bug fixes that were considered sufficiently
grave to warrant the issue of an erratum notice, fetchmail-EN-2010-03.txt.
# BUG FIXES
* When specifying multiple local multidrop lists, do not lose wildcard flag.
(Affects "user foo is bar baz * is joe here")
* In multidrop configurations, an asterisk can now appear anywhere in the list
of local users, not just at the end.
* In multidrop mode, header parsing is now more verbose in -vv mode, so that it
becomes possible to see which header is used.
* Make --antispam work from command line (these used to work in rcfiles).
Reported by Kees Bakker, BerliOS Bug #17599. (Sunil Shetye)
* Smoke test XHTML 1.1 validation, and if it fails, skip validating HTML
documents. Skip validating Mailbox-Names-UTF7.html. Several systems have
broken XHTML 1.1 DTD installations that jeopardize the build.
Reported by Mihail Nechkin against FreeBSD port.
Workaround for 6.3.18: build in a separate directory, i. e:
mkdir build && cd build && ../configure --options-go-here
* Send a NOOP only after a failed STARTTLS in IMAP. (Sunil Shetye)
* Demote GSSAPI verbose/debug syslog to INFO severity. Requested by Carlos E. R.
and Derek Simkowiak via the fetchmail-users@ mailing list.
* Do STARTTLS/STLS negotiation in IMAP/POP3 if it is mandatory even if the
server capabilities do not show support for upgradation to TLS.
To use this, configure --sslproto tls1. (Sunil Shetye)
* IMAP: Understand empty strings as FETCH response, seen on Yahoo. Reported by
Yasin Malli to fetchmail-users@ 2010-12-10.
Note that fetchmail continues to expect literals as FETCH response for now.
# DOCUMENTATION
* The manual page now links to IANA for GSSAPI service names.

fetchmail-6.3.18 (released 2010-10-09, 25936 LoC):
# SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS TO DEFANG X.509 CERTIFICATE ABUSE
* Fetchmail now only accepts wildcard certificate common names and subject
alternative names if they start with "*.". Previous versions would accept
wildcards even if no period followed immediately.
* Fetchmail now disallows wildcards in certificates to match domain literals
(such as 10.9.8.7), or wildcards in domain literals ("*.168.23.23").
The test is overly picky and triggers if the pattern (after skipping the
initial wildcard "*") or domain consists solely of digits and dots, and thus
matches more than needed.
* Fetchmail now disallows wildcarding top-level domains.
# CRITICAL BUG FIXES AND REGRESSION FIXES
* Fetchmail 6.3.15, 6.3.16, and 6.3.17 would pick up libmd5 to obtain MD5*
functions, as an effect of an undocumented Solaris MD5 fix.
This caused all MD5-related functions to malfunction if, for instance,
libmd5.so was installed on other operating systems as part of libwww on
machines where long isn't 32-bits, i. e. usually on 64-bit computers.
Fixes Gentoo Bug #319283, reported, including libwww hint, by Karl Hakimian.
Side effect: fetchmail will now use -lmd on Solaris rather than -lmd5.
* Fetchmail 6.3.17 warned about insecure SSL/TLS connections even if a matching
--sslfingerprint was specified. This is an omission from an SSL usability
change made in 6.3.17.
Fixes Debian Bug#580796 reported by Roland Stigge.
* Fetchmail will now apply timeouts to the authentication stage.
This stage encompasses STARTTLS/STLS negotiation in IMAP/POP3.
Reported missing by Thomas Jarosch.
* Fetchmail now cancels GSSAPI authentication properly when encountering GSS
errors, such as no or unsuitable credentials.
It now sends an asterisk on a line by its own, as required in SASL.
This fixes protocol synchronization issues that cause Authentication
failures, often observed with kerberized MS Exchange servers.
Fixes Debian Bug #568455 reported by Patrick Rynhart, and Alan Murrell, to the
fetchmail-users list. Fix verified by Thomas Voigtmann and Patrick Rynhart.
# BUG FIXES
* Fetchmail will no longer print connection attempts and errors for one host
in "silent" and "normal" logging modes, unless all connections fail. This
should reduce irritation around refused-connection logging if services are
only on an IPv4 socket if the host also supports IPv6. Often observed as
connections refused to ::1/25 when the subsequent connection to 127.0.0.1/25
then - silently - succeeds. Fetchmail, unless in verbose mode, will collect
all connect errors and only report them if all of them fail.
* Fetchmail will not try GSSAPI authentication automatically, unless it has GSS
credentials. However, if GSSAPI authentication is requested explicitly,
fetchmail will always try it.
* Fetchmail now parses response to "FETCH n:m RFC822.SIZE" and "FETCH n
RFC822.HEADER" in a more flexible manner. (Sunil Shetye)
* The manual page clearly states that --principal is for Kerberos 4 only, not
for Kerberos 5 or GSSAPI. Found by Thomas Voigtmann.
# CHANGES
* When encountering incorrect headers, fetchmail will refer to the bad-header
option in the manpage.
Fixes BerliOS Bug #17272, change suggested by Björn Voigt.
* Fetchmail now decodes and reports GSSAPI status codes upon errors.
* Fetchmail now autoprobes NTLM also for POP3.
* The Fetchmail FAQ has a new item #R15 on authentication failures.
# INTERNAL CHANGES
* The common NTLM authentication code was factored out from pop3.c and imap.c.

fetchmail-6.3.17 (released 2010-05-06, 25767 LoC):
# SECURITY FIX
* CVE-2010-1167: Fetchmail before release 6.3.17 did not properly sanitize
external input (mail headers and UID). When a multi-character locale (such as
# FEATURES
* Fetchmail now supports a --sslcertfile <file> option to specify a "CA bundle"
file (a file that contains trusted CA certificates). Since these bundled CA
files do not require c_rehash to be run, they are easier to use and immune to
OpenSSL library updates that affect the hash function.
* Fetchmail now supports a FETCHMAIL_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_X509_CA_CERTS
environment variable to force loading the default SSL CA certificate
locations even if --sslcertfile or --sslcertpath is used.
If neither option is in effect, fetchmail loads the default locations.
# REGRESSION FIX
* Fix string handling in rcfile scanner, which caused fetchmail to misparse a
run control file in certain circumstances. Fixes BerliOS bug #14257.
Patch by Michael Banack. This fixes a regression introduced before 6.3.0.
# BUG FIXES
* Plug memory leak when using a "defaults" entry in the run control file.
* Do not print SSL certificate mismatches unless verbose or --sslcertck is
enabled.
* Do not lose "set invisible" in fetchmailconf. (Michael Barnack)
# CHANGES
* Usability: SSL certificate chains are fully printed in -v -v mode, and there
are now helpful pointers to --sslcertpath and c_rehash for "unable to get
local issuer certificate" and self-signed certificates -- these usually hint
to missing root signing CAs in the certs directory.
* Several fixes for compiler (GCC, Intel C++, CLang) and autotools warnings
* Memory allocation failures will now cause abnormal program abort (SIGABRT),
no longer an exit with unspecified code.
# DOCUMENTATION
* Fix table of global option to read "set softbounce" where there used to be a
2nd copy of "set spambounce". Patch by Michael Banack, BerliOS Bug #17067.
* In the --sslcertpath description, mention that OpenSSL upgrade (and a 0.9.X
to 1.0.0 upgrade in particular) may require running c_rehash.

# KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS:
(this section floats upwards through the NEWS file so it stays with the
current release information - however, it was stuck with 6.3.8 for a while)
* fetchmail does not handle messages without Message-ID header well
(See sourceforge.net bug #780933)
* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
* Sun Workshop 6 (SPARC) is known to miscompile the configuration file lexer in
64-bit mode. Either compile 32-bit code or use GCC to compile 64-bit
fetchmail. Note that fetchmail doesn't take advantage of 64-bit code,
so compiling 32-bit SPARC code should not cause any difficulties.
* fetchmail does not track pending deletes over crashes
* the command line interface is sometimes a bit stubborn, for instance,
fetchmail -s doesn't work with a daemon running
fetchmail-6.3.16 (released 2010-04-06, 25574 LoC):
# BUG FIX
* Fix --interface option, broken in 6.3.15. Reported by Vladmimir Stavrinov.
Fixes Debian Bug #576717.
# CHANGE
* Call OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(). This is needed to support non-mandatory
and non-standard algorithms in certificates.
Sjoerd Simons, to fix Debian Bug #576430.
OpenSSL 0.9.8* does not load - for instance - the SHA256 digest by default.
Reported as OpenSSL RT#2224.
fetchmail-6.3.15 (released 2010-03-28, 25572 LoC):
# FEATURE
* Fetchmail now supports a bad-header command line or rcfile option that takes
exactly one argument, accept or reject (default). This specifies how messages
with bad headers retrieved from the current server are to be treated.
# BUG FIXES
* In the rcfile, recognize "local" as abbreviation for "localdomains", as
documented. The short form has not ever worked since this feature was added in
January 1997. Reported by Fr\xc3<A9>d\xc3<A9>ric Marchal.
* Do not close stdout when using mda and "bsmtp -" at the same time.
* Log operating system errors when BSMTP writes fail.
* Fix verbose mode progress formatting regression from 6.3.10; SMTP trace lines
were no longer on a line of their own. Reported by Melchior Franz.
* Check seteuid() return value and abort running MDA if switch fails.
* Set global flags in a consistent manner. Make --nosoftbounce and
--nobounce work from command line (these used to work in rcfiles).
Reported and fix confirmed working by N.J. Mann. (Sunil Shetye)
* Properly import h_errno declarations, even on systems where h_errno isn't a
macro. (Adds ./configure check, fixes Cygwin dllimport warnings.)
# CHANGES
* The repository has been converted and moved from the Subversion (SVN) format
kindly hosted by Graham Wilson over the past years to Git format hosted on
Gitorious.org. My deepest thanks to Graham Wilson for this service that
kept us going when BerliOS's Subversion service was faulty in its early days.
* This opportunity was used to convert BRANCH_6-2 and BRANCH_1-9-9 to
GnuPG-signed tags, as a sign that these are now closed.
* The outdated SVN trunk is now called "oldtrunk" in Git just to save the work
for future reference. All development in the past few years was on BRANCH_6-3.
* master was branched from BRANCH_6-3. BRANCH_6-3 is now obsolete (and in fact
was also converted to a tag to record where the conversion from SVN to Git
took place).
* "make check" now skips HTML validation if xmllint or XHTML DTD are missing.
# DOCUMENTATION
* Web site and documentation were adjusted to reflect the SVN->Git move.
* The fetchmail manual page is now much clearer on the user id switching
(seteuid) when using --mda while running as the super user.

fetchmail 6.3.14 (released 2010-02-05, 25487 LoC):
# SECURITY FIXES
* SSL/TLS certificate information is now also reported properly on computers
that consider the "char" type signed. Fixes malloc() buffer overrun.
Workaround for older versions: do not use verbose mode.
See fetchmail-SA-2010-01.txt for details, including a minimal patch.
# BUG FIXES
* The IMAP client no longer skips messages from several IMAP servers including
Dovecot if fetchmail's "idle" is in use. Causes were that fetchmail (a)
ignored some untagged responses when it should not (b) relied on EXISTS
messages in response to EXPUNGE, which aren't mandated by RFC-3501 (the IMAP
standard) and aren't sent by Dovecot either.
Fix by Sunil Shetye (the fix also consolidates IMAP response handling,
improving overall robustness of the IMAP client), bug report and testing by
Matt Doran, with further hints from Timo Sirainen.
* The SMTP client now recovers from errors (such as servers dropping the
connection after errors) when sending an RSET command.
Fix by Sunil Shetye. Report by James Moe.
* The IMAP client now uses "SEARCH UNSEEN" rather than "SEARCH UNSEEN NOT
DELETED" again on IMAP2, to fix a regression in fetchmail 6.2.5 reported by
Will Stringer in June 2004. (Sunil Shetye)
* The IMAP client now uses "SEARCH UNSEEN UNDELETED" on IMAP4 and IMAP4r1
servers (Sunil Shetye).
* Workaround: The IMAP client now falls back to "FETCH n:m FLAGS" if the server
does not support "SEARCH". (Sunil Shetye)
* The IMAP client now requests message numbers in batches of 1,000 to avoid
problems if there are more than 1860 unseen messages. (Sunil Shetye)
Note that this wasn't security relevant because fetchmail would only read up
to the maximum buffer size and leave the remainder of the string unread, going
out of synch afterwards.
* Stricter validation of IMAP responses containing byte or message counts.
# CHANGES
* Only include gssapi.h if we're not including gssapi/gssapi.h, to fix a FreeBSD
compiler warning about gssapi.h being obsolete.
# DOCUMENTATION
* The README.SSL document was revised for grammar, spelling, and clarity.

fetchmail 6.3.13 (released 2009-10-30, 25333 LoC):
# REGRESSION FIXES
* The multiline SMTP error fix in release 6.3.12 caused fetchmail to lose
message codes 400..599 and treat all of these as temporary error. This would
cause messages to be left on the server even if softbounce was turned off.
Reported by Thomas Jarosch.
fetchmail 6.3.12 (released 2009-10-05):
# REGRESSION FIXES
* The CVS-2009-2666 fix in fetchmail release 6.3.11 caused a free() of
unallocated memory on SSL connections, which caused crashes or program aborts
on some systems (depending on how initialization and free() of unallocated
memory is handled in compiler and libc).
Workaround for older versions: run in verbose mode.
Patch courtesy of Thomas Heinz, fixes Gentoo Bug #280760.
This regression affected only the 6.3.11 release, but not the patch that was
part of the security announcement fetchmail-SA-2009-01.
# BUG FIXES
* Fix error reporting for GSSAPI on Heimdal (h5l) Kerberos.
* Look for MD5_Init in libcrypto rather than libssl, fixes Gentoo Kerberos
builds; fixes upstream parts of Gentoo Bugs #231400 and #185652, and fixes
BerliOS Bug #16134.
* Report multiline SMTP errors properly, reported by Earl Chew; fixes Debian Bug
#529899, reported by Akihiro Terasaki.
Note: This fix introduced a regression, fixed in 6.3.13.
* Replace control characters in SMTP replies by '?'.
* Fetchmailconf: Fix descriptions for smtpaddress and smtpname options;
smtpaddress is for RCPT TO, not MAIL FROM. Found by Gerard Seibert.
...as well as translation updates in all three releases.

Changes since version 6.3.6:
- Make the APOP challenge parser more distrustful and have it reject
challenges that do not conform to RFC-822 msg-id format, in the hope
to make mounting man-in-the-middle attacks (MITM) against APOP a bit
more difficult. (CVE-2007-1558)
- Fix pluralization of oversized-message warning mails.
- Fix manual page: --sslcheck -> --sslcertck, and do not set trailing
"recommended:" in bold.
- Repoll immediately if a protocol error happens during the authentication
attempt after a failed opportunistic TLS upgrade.
- Fix rendering of the "24 - 26, 28, 29" paragraph in the exit codes
section.
- If SOCKS support was compiled in, add 'socks' to the feature_options
Python list emitted in --configdump.
- Do not crash with a null pointer dereference when opening the BSMTP file
fails. Improve error checking and reporting.
- Make BSMTP output actually work, it would persistently fail with SOCKET
error after writing the first header.
- Fix KPOP.
- Fix repoll when server disconnects after opportunistic TLS failed for
POP3.

Changes introduced since 6.2.5:
fetchmail-6.2.5.X is a security fix branch that forked off
fetchmail-6.2.5. It does not change for anything but security and the
most severe bug fixes. Note that no 6.2.5.X security audits are planned
except when a particular bug is reported, and that 6.2.5.X is unsafe to
use on some systems, particularly those that lack a *working and secure*
snprintf implementation.
The fetchmail 6.2.5.X branch will be discontinued early in 2006.
fetchmail-6.2.5.5 2005-12-19 Matthias Andree
* SECURITY FIX CVE-2005-4348: fix null pointer dereference in
multidrop mode when the message is empty. Reported by Daniel Drake
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.fetchmail.user/7573> and others
(Debian Bug #343836). Fix by Sunil Shetye.
* Fix Debian bug #301964, fetchmail leaks sockets when SSL negotiation
fails. Fix suggested by Goswin Brederlow.
* Add fetchmail-SA-2005-{01,02,03}.txt
fetchmail-6.2.5.4 2005-11-13 Matthias Andree
* Also ship pre-built rcfile_y.[ch] for systems that don't have flex,
yacc or bison.
* On FreeBSD, add /usr/local/include to CPPFLAGS so that libintl.h is found.
* Avoid automatically picking up HESIOD implementations that lack
hesiod_getmailhost, such as the one in FreeBSD's base system.
* Fix makedepend for separated build (where the build is not run from
the source directory), but prevent packaging from separated build, it
yields bogus results.
* Fix resolv.h autodetection.
* Add +HESIOD to version printout if appropriate.
fetchmail-6.2.5.3 2005-11-12 Matthias Andree
* SECURITY FIX CVE-2005-3088: fetchmailconf: fix password exposure: use
umask 077 before opening output file and restore umask later.
* Critical fix: fix IMAP timeouts, counting message count down on
servers that do not send EXISTS counts after EXPUNGE. Debian Bug#314509.
* Ship pre-built rcfile_l.c for systems that don't have flex.
* Build environment: Update included gettext. Fix
--with-included-gettext. Fix parallel build (make -j). Fix "always
rebuild fetchmail" syndrome.
* Do not link against -ll or -lfl (not needed).
fetchmail-6.2.5.2
(patch Fri Jul 22 01:52 GMT 2005,
tarball Sat Jul 23 21:34 GMT 2005)
* README: Added a note about release status - READ IT!
* Note: Due to a Makefile.in bug, you may need to use GNU make.
* SECURITY FIX CVE-2005-2335: truncate UIDL replies, lest malicious or
compromised POP3 servers overflow fetchmail's stack. Debian bug
#212762. This is a remote root exploit.
Thanks: Miloslav Trmac for pointing out the fix in 6.2.5.1 was buggy.
Thanks: Ludwig Nussel for a much simpler fix.
* Critical fix: omit blank between MAIL FROM: and <user@example.org>,
as this causes mail loss with some listeners.
* Fix: POP2 driver wouldn't properly check authentication failure.
* Sunil Shetye's fix to force fetchsizelimit to 1 for APOP and RPOP.
