* 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.
+* Kerberos 5 support may be removed from a future fetchmail release.
* The --principal option may be removed from a future fetchmail release.
* SIGHUP wakeup support may be removed from a future fetchmail release and
cause fetchmail to terminate - it was broken for many years.

+fetchmail-6.3.20 (not yet released):
+
+# CHANGES
+* fetchmail no longer supports SSL v2, nor the corresponding SSL2 option to
+ --sslproto. SSLv2 is insecure and had been deprecated 15 years ago. fetchmail
+ will actively forbid SSLv2 negotiation by means of SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
+ To fix Debian Bug#622054.
+* fetchmail now always uses its own MD5 implementation. The library and header
+ variants are too diverse, and we've been bitten before -- and configure
+ complains noisily on Cyrus-SASL's RFC1321 md5.h.
+* fetchmail now supports an environment variable to suppress marking deleted
+ messages as seen at the same time, FETCHMAIL_IMAP_DELETED_REMAINS_UNSEEN.
+ See the manual page for details. Requested by Jonathan Buschmann.
+
+# BUG FIXES
+* Call strlen() only once when removing CRLF from a line. (Sunil Shetye)
+* Do not search for UNSEEN messages in ranges. Usually, there are very few new
+ messages and most of the range searches result in nothing. Instead, split the
+ long response to make the IMAP driver think that there are multiple lines of
+ response. (Sunil Shetye)

+fetchmail-6.3.19 (released 2010-12-10, 25945 LoC):
+
+# ERRATUM NOTICE ISSUED
+* fetchmail 6.3.18 contains several bug fixes that were considered sufficiently
+ grave to warrant the issue of an erratum notice, fetchmail-EN-2010-03.txt.
+
+# BUG FIXES
+* When specifying multiple local multidrop lists, do not lose wildcard flag.
+ (Affects "user foo is bar baz * is joe here")
+* In multidrop configurations, an asterisk can now appear anywhere in the list
+ of local users, not just at the end.
+* In multidrop mode, header parsing is now more verbose in -vv mode, so that it
+ becomes possible to see which header is used.
+* Make --antispam work from command line (these used to work in rcfiles).
+ Reported by Kees Bakker, BerliOS Bug #17599. (Sunil Shetye)
+* Smoke test XHTML 1.1 validation, and if it fails, skip validating HTML
+ documents. Skip validating Mailbox-Names-UTF7.html. Several systems have
+ broken XHTML 1.1 DTD installations that jeopardize the build.
+ Reported by Mihail Nechkin against FreeBSD port.
+ Workaround for 6.3.18: build in a separate directory, i. e:
+ mkdir build && cd build && ../configure --options-go-here
+* Send a NOOP only after a failed STARTTLS in IMAP. (Sunil Shetye)
+* Demote GSSAPI verbose/debug syslog to INFO severity. Requested by Carlos E. R.
+ and Derek Simkowiak via the fetchmail-users@ mailing list.
+* Do STARTTLS/STLS negotiation in IMAP/POP3 if it is mandatory even if the
+ server capabilities do not show support for upgradation to TLS.
+ To use this, configure --sslproto tls1. (Sunil Shetye)
+* IMAP: Understand empty strings as FETCH response, seen on Yahoo. Reported by
+ Yasin Malli to fetchmail-users@ 2010-12-10.
+ Note that fetchmail continues to expect literals as FETCH response for now.
+
+# DOCUMENTATION
+* The manual page now links to IANA for GSSAPI service names.

+# KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS
+ (this section floats upwards through the NEWS file so it stays with the
+ current release information - however, it was stuck with 6.3.8 for a while)
+* fetchmail does not handle messages without Message-ID header well
+ (See sourceforge.net bug #780933)
+* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
+* Sun Workshop 6 (SPARC) is known to miscompile the configuration file lexer in
+ 64-bit mode. Either compile 32-bit code or use GCC to compile 64-bit
+ fetchmail. Note that fetchmail doesn't take advantage of 64-bit code,
+ so compiling 32-bit SPARC code should not cause any difficulties.
+* fetchmail does not track pending deletes over crashes.
+* the command line interface is sometimes a bit stubborn, for instance,
+ fetchmail -s doesn't work with a daemon running.
+* Linux systems may return duplicates of an IP address in some circumstances if
+ no or no global IPv6 addresses are configured.
+ (No workaround. Ubuntu Bug#582585, Novell Bug#606980.)
+* Kerberos 5 may be broken, particularly on Heimdal, and provide bogus error
+ messages. This will not be fixed, because the maintainer has no Kerberos 5
+ server to test against. Use GSSAPI.

# SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS TO DEFANG X.509 CERTIFICATE ABUSE
* Fetchmail now only accepts wildcard certificate common names and subject
This fixes protocol synchronization issues that cause Authentication
failures, often observed with kerberized MS Exchange servers.
Fixes Debian Bug #568455 reported by Patrick Rynhart, and Alan Murrell, to the
- fetchmail-users list. Fix verified by Thomas Voigtmann.
