* The --bsmtp - mode of operation may be removed in a future release.
* Given that OpenSSL is severely underdocumented, and needs license exceptions,
fetchmail may switch to a different SSL library.
+* SSLv2 support will be removed from a future fetchmail release. It has been
+ obsolete for more than a decade.

+
+# SECURITY BUG FIXES
+* Fetchmail runs the IMAP STARTTLS or POP3 STLS negotiation with the set timeout
+ (default five minutes) now. This was reported missing, from fetchmail freezes
+ beyond a week, by Thomas Jarosch.
+ SSL-wrapped connections were unaffected by this timeout, so users of older
+ versions can force ssl-wrapped connections -- if supported by the server --
+ with the --ssl command line or ssl rcfile option.
+
+# BUG FIXES
+* 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)
+* Do not print "skipping message" for old messages even in verbose mode. If
+ there are too many old messages, the logs just get filled without any real
+ activity. (Sunil Shetye) (suggested by Yunfan Jiang)
+
+# CHANGES
+* 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.
+* Call strlen() only once when removing CRLF from a line. (Sunil Shetye)
+* fetchmail sets Internet domain sockets to "keepalive" mode now. Note that
+ there is no portable way to configure actual timeouts for this mode, and some
+ systems only support a system-wide timeout setting. Thus, fetchmail does not
+ attempt to tune the time spans of keepalive mode.

+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:
+# 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
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.

current release information - however, it was stuck with 6.3.8 for a while)
