- Things to do:
+ Release Notes:
-In the SSL support, we need to add server certificate validation (In
-other words, does the certificate match the system we are trying to
-contact?). Also, add authentication of Certifying Authority (Is this
-a Certifying Authority we recognize?).
+(The `lines' figures total .c, .h, .l, and .y files under version control.)
-Jorge Godoy asked, about the MD5 sums: Are they on the RPMs? How about
-using GPG/PGP instead of MD5 to sign the packages? If people are
-worried with copies of it, GPG/PGP offers more security than MD5. I
-don't know exactly, but I think you can sign it both ways so that your
-package will have two security verifications instead of one...
+* Fall back on the computed queryname if we need the DNS name of a a host
+ and can't get it. Resolves Debian bug #69199.
+* Andrej Borsenkow's fix for configuration with new SOCKS.
+* Pavel Roskin's fix to build the RPM without libcrypto (Red Hat changed
+ the library name to libk5crypto in 6.2).
+* Peter Backes's sm-hybrid patch added to contrib; more FAQ item T1 changes.
+* Emiliano's patch to make dropdelivered and envelope interact properly.
+* In fetchmailconf, always reset the port number when changing protocols.
+* Patrick Bihan-Faou's changes to use sysctl() for interface checking
+ so fetchmail doesn't have to be suid kmem.

+* In the fetchmail RPM spec, stop compressing the man pages. Turns out
+ rpm-4.0 does a find(1) over the stuff to be installed and gzip(1)s the
+ manpages it finds. This gets messed up by the explicit symlink among
+ manpages in the spec file, which rpm redoes and gets all wrong.

+ the UIDL state if there has been an error.
+* Better isafile test -- bizarrely enough, Linux ptys have S_ISBLK.
+* Includes for SSL now use the openssl directory, which has been standard
+ since OpenSSL 0.9.3. If this breaks your build, upgrade your SSL.

+* NT material added to FAQ item O9.
+* Commented out the socket-shutdown code that was causing mystery hangs under
+ Red Hat 6.2. We can live with a socket leak (assuming it comes back) nmore
+ easily than we can live with fetchmail getting wedged in place.
