                                Release Notes:
 
-fetchmail-4.5.3 ():
+fetchmail-4.5.8 ():
+
+There are 249 people on fetchmail-friends and 273 on fetchmail-announce.
+* Prevent fetchmailconf from adding an additional layer of quotes on
+  preconnect/postconnect/smtpaddress options.
+* Fix a --configdump bug affecting multidrop configurations.
+
+fetchmail-4.5.7 (Tue Aug 25 00:29:44 EDT 1998):
+* Fixed SDPS support (thanks to Chris Brooks).
+* One more fix for the snakebit postmaster option.
+* Compute FQDN from localhost when we're using Kerberos.
+
+There are 249 people on fetchmail-friends and 273 on fetchmail-announce.
+
+fetchmail-4.5.6 (Tue Aug 25 00:29:44 EDT 1998):
+* SDPS support, experimental version 2.  Requires configure --enable-SDPS.
+* Major FAQ update.  Added geocities warning.
+* Fixed --configdump so embedded single and double quotes are handled.
+* Fetchmailconf 1.3: fixed bug that prevented deletion of first items in lists.
+* Fixed the `set postmaster' option to work correctly, grrr...
+* Fix for Debian bug #25997, handling of >Received lines.
+
+There are 253 people on fetchmail-friends and 272 on fetchmail-announce.
+
+fetchmail-4.5.5 (Mon Aug  3 16:08:14 EDT 1998):
+* Brendan Cully's FAQ entry on GSSAPI.
+* Andrew Cagney's improvement to Received-line parsing.
+* Kent Robotti sent an updated version of fetchsetup.
+* Fixed the spam-block code that I broke in 4.5.3 :-(.
+* Updated the entry on setting up sendmail spam blocks.
+* Added setrlimit call to inhibit core dumps unless debugging is on.
+* The default of smtplist has been changed; the undocumented feature that
+  it always included the fetchmail host's FQDN is gone (this is now
+  true for ETRN mode only).
+* Modes other than ETRN no longer need to know the fetchmail host's FQDN.
+  This eliminates a gethostbyname() call and makes fetchmail more independent
+  of local DNS configuration quirks.
+* Added experimental SDPS code for demon.co.uk users.
+
+There are 256 people on fetchmail-friends and 256 on fetchmail-announce.
+
+fetchmail-4.5.4 (Sat Jul 25 10:25:14 EDT 1998):
+* Fixed processing of --antispam option.
+* Antispam default value is now the list [571, 550, 501] corresponding
+  to the sendmail, old exim, and new exim spam-block responses.
+* Fetchmailconf 1.2 has been fixed to handle list values of antispam.
+
+There are 262 people on fetchmail-friends and 252 on fetchmail-announce.
+
+fetchmail-4.5.3 (Mon Jul 20 15:02:08 EDT 1998):
 * Minor fixes to the GSSAPI code.  Seems to work with stock UW IMAP now.
 * Fetchmail running as root now sends misaddressed multidrop mail to
   `postmaster', not root.  Added `postmaster' option to allow override.
 * DNS names of target servers are now canonicalized only once, at start
   of run, and then only if they'll actually be needed later for multidrop
-  checking or fetching Kerberos tickets.  This eliminates many gethostbyname
-  calls.
+  checking or fetching Kerberos tickets.  This change eliminates many
+  gethostbyname calls.
+* It's now possible to specify multiple spam-block responses as a list.
+* Download-progress dots are no longer generated when syslog is enabled.
+* 1.1 version of fetchmailconf.
+
+Note: the DNS-usage change might conceivably break your configuration
+if (a) you're using `no dns' and multidrop and (b) you're not
+specifying either a `via' option or pollname that is the host's
+canonical name.  The thing to watch for will be an illegal domain name
+error from your listener.  If this happens, just add a `via' option with
+the cononical FQDN of the host as argument.
