* 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.
+* 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.

(such as 10.9.8.7), or wildcards in domain literals ("*.168.23.23").
The test is overly picky and triggers if the pattern (after skipping the

# BUG FIXES
credentials. This avoids getting servers such as Exchange 2007 wedged if
GSSAPI authentication fails. Reported by Patrick Rynhart, Debian Bug #568455,
and Alan Murrell, to the fetchmail-users list.
+ Note that if GSSAPI fails for other reasons, you can use the --auth option to
+ work around that.
+* Fetchmail now parses response to "FETCH n:m RFC822.SIZE" and "FETCH n
+ RFC822.HEADER" in a more flexible manner. (Sunil Shetye)
+* Fetchmail now cancels GSSAPI authentication properly when encountering GSS
+ errors. It now sends an asterisk on a line by its own, as required in SASL.
+ This should fix protocol synchronization issues that cause Authentication
+ failure, particularly with Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 servers, when
+ Kerberos authentication was offered by the server and attempted by fetchmail.
+* The manual page clearly states that --principal is for Kerberos 4 only, not
+ for Kerberos 5 or GSSAPI. Found by Thomas Voigtmann.
# CHANGES
* When encountering incorrect headers, fetchmail will refer to the bad-header
option in the manpage. BerliOS Bug #17272, change suggested by Björn Voigt.
* Fetchmail now decodes and reports GSSAPI status codes upon errors.
