Here are the release notes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
fetchmail-6.4.15 (released 2021-01-03, 27614 LoC):

# BUG FIXES
* Fix a typo in the manual page reported by David McKelvie.
* Fix cross-compilation with openssl, by Fabrice Fontaine. Merge request !2=
3.
* Fix truncation of SMTP PLAIN AUTH with ^ in credentials, by Earl Chew.
  Gitlab issue #23, merge request !25.

# KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS
  (This section floats upwards through the NEWS file so it stays with the
  current release information)
* Fetchmail does not handle messages without Message-ID header well
  (See sourceforge.net bug #780933)
* Fetchmail currently uses 31-bit signed integers in several places
  where unsigned and/or wider types should have been used, for instance,
  for mailbox sizes, and misreports sizes of 2 GibiB and beyond.=20
  Fixing this requires C89 compatibility to be relinquished.
* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
* Fetchmail does not track pending deletes across 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 circumstance=
s 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.

Happy fetches,
Matthias
