Here are the release notes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
fetchmail-6.4.13 (released 2020-10-25, 27608 LoC):

# BUG FIXES:
* Errors about lock file (=3D pidfile) creation could be lost in daemon=20
  configurations (-d option, or set daemon) when using syslog. Now they are=
 also=20
  logged to syslog.  Found verifying a pidfile creation issue on 6.4.12 tha=
t was=20
  previously reported by Alex Hall of Automatic Distributors.
* If the lock file cannot be removed (no write permission on directory), try
  to truncate it, and if that fails, report error.
* If the pidfile was non-default, fetchmail -q or --quit would malfunction =
and
  claim no other fetchmail were running, because it did not read the=20
  configuration files or merge the command line options, thus it would look=
 for=20
  the PID in the wrong file.

# CHANGES:
* Lockfile (=3D pidfile) creation errors are now logged with filename and r=
eason.

# TRANSLATION UPDATES were made by these fine people:
* cs:    Petr Pisar [Czech]
* ja:    Takeshi Hamasaki [Japanese]
