 * Fix bug that prevented SMTP from being specified on the defaults line.
 
+* Changes in .fetchmailrc syntax:  The token `remotefolder' no longer
+  exists; it has been replaced by `mailbox'.  The token `remote' no
+  longer stands for `remotefolder' but for `remotename', a synonym for
+  `username'.  The purpose of these changes (which should only affect
+  IMAP and POP2 users setting up for non-default mailboxes) is to prepare
+  for syntax supporting multiple user queries per host.
+
 * Allow program to run with no .fetchmailrc file again.
