* The MX and host alias DNS 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.
+ Non-DNS based alias keywords such as "aka" will remain in fetchmail.
* The monitor and interface options may be removed from a future fetchmail
version as they are not sufficiently portable.
* POP2 is obsolete.
* --sslcertck may become a default setting in a future fetchmail version.
* The multidrop To/Cc guessing code along with the fragile duplicate suppressor
is deprecated and may be removed from a future release.
+* The "envelope Received" option may be removed from a future release, because
+ the Received header was never meant to be machine-readable, the format varies
+ widely, and various other differences in behavior make parsing Received an
+ unreliable undertaking. The enveloper option as such will remain though, in
+ order to support Delivered-To, X-Envelope-To, X-Original-To and similar.
+ See also <http://home.pages.de/~mandree/mail/multidrop>.
* The --enable-fallback (fall back to MDA if MTA unavailable) may be removed
from a future fetchmail release.
* The "protocol auto" default inside fetchmail may be removed from a future
fetchmail release. Explicit configuration of the protocol is recommended.
+* Kerberos IV support may be removed from a future fetchmail release.

# KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS:
(this section floats upwards through the NEWS to be on top of the list)
* The code still isn't 100% ISO-C compliant, some configurations attempt to
compile files that are empty after preprocessing, which can cause compiler
diagnostics and perhaps jam the compilation on strict compilers.
+* fetchmail expects Received: headers in a particular format when parsing
+ envelopes.
+
+# BUG FIXES:
+* For protocols such as IMAP that are not delimited by "." lines, truncate the
+ input buffer when the message has been completely read, to avoid taking
+ trailing garbage into the message if the terminal CRLF is missing. Fixes
+ Debian Bug#312415. (Patch suggested by Mike Jones, Manchester Univ.).
+* When using NTLM authentication, use regular IMAP response code handler after
+ completing NTLM handshake, for robustness and consistency.
+ (Taken from the NetBSD portable packages collection, patch-ac.)
+* Support Kerberos installations where krb5.h and perhaps roken.h are in
+ .../include/krb5. Taken from NetBSD portable packages collection patch-ae.
+* On NetBSD, link against -lroken -lcom_err if --with-kerberos is enabled.
+* Drop #include <com_err.h> from Kerberos 5 header file, fixes compile error on
+ SUSE Linux 10.0.
+* Fix des_pcbc_encrypt compile warnings in kerberos.c line 246.
+* If krb5-config provides gssapi library information, use that rather than
+ guessing.
+* Improve --with-gssapi auto detection for /usr-based GSSAPI installs.
+* Fix --with-gssapi builds for NetBSD 3.0.
+* Improve KAME/getnameinfo.c portability to Linux libc5 systems.
+ Based on a patch by Dan Fandrich.
+* Provide INET6 to KAME/getnameinfo.c (only useful on IPv6-enabled systems that
+ lack getnameinfo, and there only visible in some Received: headers).
+ Found by Dan Fandrich.
+
+# CHANGES:
+* Rename all fetchmail-internal lock_* functions to fm_lock_*. Obsoletes
+ NetBSD portable packages collection patch-ah, patch-ai and patch-aj.
+* Configure prints a warning (but proceeds) if Kerberos IV support is enabled.
+* In verbose mode, log every IP fetchmail tries to connect to, to avoid
+ misleading the user. Suppress EAFNOSUPPORT errors from socket() call, too.
+ Fixes Debian Bug #361825, reported by Daniel Baur.

+# TRANSLATION UPDATES:
+* Russian/ru (Pavel Maryanov), Vietnamese/vi (Clytie Siddall)
+
+# CONTRIBUTED SCRIPTS:
+* PopDel.py was revised by Joshua Crawford to display the From: address and
+ list every email, even if it has no Subject: header; and not delete the wrong
+ message in the presence of mail without Subject: headers.
