+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 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.
+
+There are 267 people on fetchmail-friends and 249 on fetchmail-announce.
+
+fetchmail-4.5.2 (Tue Jul 14 19:02:52 EDT 1998):
+* German-language internationalization in the RPM, thanks to Jochen Hayek.
+* .fetchmailrc files are now permitted to be executable by user and group.
+* Eric Daniel's guard code against very long lines.
+* Added --nosyslog option.
+
+There are 270 people on fetchmail-friends and 245 on fetchmail-announce.
+
+fetchmail-4.5.1 (Wed Jul 1 19:27:56 EDT 1998):
+* Checkalias option from Enrico Musio <enrico.musio@spaziozerouno.it>.
+* Discard Unix From_ lines in headers (copes with Debian bug report #23808).
+* Tell fetchmailconf not to care if the attempt to create an icon window fails.
+* All fetchmailconf windows now iconify with an image.
+* obituary@freshmeat's enhancements to hook fetchmail into the Red Hat
+ control panel.
+* Even if RPA is enabled, it won't be done unless your remotename ends in
+ `@compuserve.com' as CompuServe requires. Thus CompuServe users may now
+ choose ordinary authentication at runtime.
+
+There are 275 people on fetchmail-friends and 238 on fetchmail-announce.
