# DEPRECATED FEATURES AND MAJOR INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE ADVANCE WARNINGS
* The MX and host alias lookups that fetchmail performs in multidrop mode are
  obsolete, deprecated and may be removed from a future fetchmail version.
  They have never supported IPv6 (including IPv6-mapped IPv4) anyhow. (MA)
* The monitor and interface options may be removed from a future fetchmail
  version as they are not sufficiently portable. (MA)
* POP2 is obsolete.
  Support for POP2 may be removed from a future fetchmail version. (MA)
* --sslcertck may become a default setting in a future fetchmail version. (MA)
* The multidrop To/Cc guessing code along with the fragile duplicate suppressor
  is deprecated and may be removed from a future release. (MA)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

fetchmail 6.3.1 (not yet released):

* Fix broken default port in POP2. Patch by Stanislav Brabec, SUSE [CZ]. (MA)
* Fix manual page, some lines starting with ' were escaped by \&.
  Reported by Simon Barner. (MA)
* Ship with gettext-0.14.3 again, as 6.2.9-rc10 did. Found by Sunil Shetye. (MA)
* Actually set default SSL certificate path if --sslcertpath is unset.

  Reported by Daniel Drake, patch by Sunil Shetye. (MA)

fetchmail 6.3.0 (released 2005-11-30):

# SECURITY FIXES IN THIS RELEASE
* CVE-2005-2335: The POP3 UIDL code doesn't sufficiently validate/truncate the
  input length, so a (malicious or compromised) server that sends UIDs longer
  than 128 bytes can corrupt fetchmail's stack and crash fetchmail.
  This vulnerability is remotely exploitable to inject code run in a
  root shell. Edward J. Shornock, Ludwig Nussel. fetchmail-SA-2005-01.txt
* CVE-2005-3088: fetchmailconf now changes the output file to mode 0600 BEFORE
  writing to it, so there is no window where passwords could be read by the
  world. Matthias Andree. fetchmail-SA-2005-02.txt

# MAJOR INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
* Remove support for --netsec/-T options, the required inet6_apps library is no
  longer available.
  http://www.inner.net/pub/ipv6/ states, as of 2005-07-03: "/pub/ipv6
  Our IPv6 software is now long defunct. Please find a more modern source."
  I haven't been able to find a more modern source.  Matthias Andree
* Operating systems that do not conform to the Single Unix Specification v2
  (1997) or v3 (2001, aka IEEE Std 1003.1-2001) are no longer supported. They
  may continue to work and non-intrusive patches to support them may be
  accepted.  Matthias Andree
* The default for --smtphost is now always "localhost" regardless of
  authentication types and protocols, so as to simplify configurations for
  workstations where the SMTP daemon only listens on the loopback interface.
  Sunil Shetye & Matthias Andree

  RECENT and EXISTS counts. (MA)
* Holger Mauermann's bounce patch, to use a NULL envelope from, not
  write a Return-Path header (both to meet RFC-2821), changed From,
  added Subject header, rewording the human readable part.  Fixes Debian
  bug #316446. (MA)
* Merge Sunil Shetye's time.h handling fix. (MA)
* Merge Gerd von Egidy's patch to avoid a segfault in multidrop/received
  mode when the Received: headers are malformatted. (MA)

  verbose mode. Patch by Brian Candler. (MA)
* Import Bjorn Reese and Daniel Stenberg's MIT-licensed Trio 1.10 from
  http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/trio/ for systems that do not support

  - fetchmail-6.2.5-random-result.patch (uninitialized variable/opie.c)
* Revised some bogus assertions about POP3 LAST and UIDL use in the
  manual page. UIDL isn't flaky as the man page suggested, but a
  reliability feature. In fact, IMAP4 code is flaky in that it relies on
  the upstream seen flags. (MA)

  Matthias Andree.
* Fix Debian bug #301964, fetchmail leaks sockets when SSL negotiation
  fails. Fix suggested Goswin Brederlow. (MA)
* Really fix Debian Bug#207919 (garbage in Received: lines when smtphost set),
  patch by Tobias Diedrich.  The 6.2.5 NEWS claimed Gregan's patch had fixed
  #207919 but it had fixed #212484 instead and #207919 remained unfixed in

  Darwin. NetBSD PR#28543 (pkg/28543). Matthias Andree.

  Matthias Andree
* The IP address matching code was broken and 
  1. didn't search exhaustively, but matched only the first IP address of the
  server's queryname against the IP addresses of the server name to match.
  2. didn't match IP aliases versus MX hosts.  Matthias Andree
* gettext (intl/) has been removed from the fetchmail package. Install GNU
  gettext 0.14 separately for NLS (i18n).  Matthias Andree
* fetchmailconf is now a shell wrapper that calls the byte-compiled
  fetchmailconf.py script, which is now installed in the regular python
  directory. Matthias Andree.

  option, which is now supported even without --enable-inet6. Matthias Andree.

  getnameinfo() and the macro AF_INET6.  Matthias Andree.

  brackets for consistency with Postfix.  Matthias Andree.

* Fix MacOS X compilation failures in sink.c (ru_*time has incomplete type).
  Berlios Bug #4725. Matthias Andree.

  officially. Reported by Yves Boisjoly. Matthias Andree
* Expunge between IMAP folders when polling multiple folders.
  Sunil Shetye. (MA)
* Fix IMAP expunged message counting. Sunil Shetye. (MA)

* Missed --port/--service/--ssl cleanups in the manual. Reminder from Thomas

  compile time. This configuration mismatch now causes an error message and
  authentication failure. Found by Yves Boisjoly.  Matthias Andree

  also offers MSN and NTLM, suggested by Yves Boisjoly. Matthias Andree
* fetchmailconf now (as of 1.49) writes its version to the comment of the
  saved run control file. Matthias Andree

  Miśkiewicz. (MA)
* Global variable cleanup, to fix daemon mode reinitialization problems. Patch
  by Sunil Shetye. (MA)
* fetchmailconf -h documents the fetchmailconf -h option. Matthias Andree
* fetchmailconf -V now prints the fetchmailconf version. Matthias Andree
* Add support for SubjectAltName (RFC-2595 or 2818), to avoid bogus certificate
  mismatch errors. Patch by Roland Stigge, Debian Bug#201113. (MA)
* make fetchmail --silent --quit really silent, Debian Bug #229014 by Dr.
  Andreas Krüger.  Matthias Andree
* cleanup --quit handling again (so that --silent --quit just kills the
  existing daemon, rather than continue running), and document it more clearly.
  Matthias Andree
* Print an error message if multiple "defaults" records are found in the
  configuration file.  Matthias Andree
* Bury on_exit officially - the necessary code had been missing from 6.0.0,
  6.2.0, 6.2.5.  Matthias Andree
* Exit with error if the lock file cannot be read.  Matthias Andree
* Exit with error if the lock file cannot be created exclusively, this got
  broken in a 6.2.6-pre, 6.2.5.2 and older were fine.  Matthias Andree
* Do not break some other process's lockfile in "-q" mode, but wait for the
  other process's exit.  Matthias Andree
* Man page: --sslfingerprint points user to x509(1ssl) and gives an example
  how to use it. Debian Bug#213484, Eduard Bloch. (MA)
* Try to obtain FQDN as our own host by default, rather than using "localhost".
  If hostname cannot be qualified, complain noisily and continue, unless
  Kerberos, ODMR or ETRN are used (these require a FQDN).
  Partial fix of Debian Bug#150137. Fixes Debian Bug#316454.  Matthias Andree
* fetchmailconf now sets the service properly after autoprobe. Fixes Debian
  Bug#320645.  Matthias Andree
* Man page: Fix Debian Bug#241883, making global options more clear. Matt
  Swift, Matthias Andree.
* When eating IMAP message trailer, don't see any line containing "OK" as the
  end of the trailer, but wait for the proper tagged OK line. To work around
  the qmail + Courier-IMAP problem in Debian Bug#338007. Matthias Andree
* Fix Debian Bug#317761: when trying to send a bounce message, don't bail out
  if we cannot qualify our own hostname, so we aren't losing the bounce.
  Instead, pass the buck on to the SMTP server and use our own unqualified
  hostname. Matthias Andree
