Greetings,

The 6.4.24 release of fetchmail is now available at=20
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>.

DISTRIBUTORS please note OpenSSL's licensing change for OpenSSL 3,
and you may want to review COPYING. NOTE that LibreSSL licensing
is incompatible with fetchmail's, as there is no GPL clause 2(b)=20
exception for LibreSSL.

24.tar.xz/download>

Here are the release notes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
fetchmail-6.4.24 (released 2021-11-20, 30218 LoC):

# OPENSSL AND LICENSING NOTE:
> see fetchmail-6.4.22, and the file COPYING.

  Note that distribution of packages linked with LibreSSL is not feasible
  due to a missing GPLv2 clause 2(b) exception.

# COMPATIBILITY:
* Bison 3.8 dropped yytoknum altogether, breaking compilation due to a
  warning workaround. Remove the cast of yytoknum to void.  This may cause
  a compiler warning to reappear with older Bison versions.
* OpenSSL 1.0.2: Workaround for systems that keep the expired DST Root CA X=
3=20
  certificate in its trust store because OpenSSL by default prefers the=20
  untrusted certificate and fails.  Fetchmail now sets the=20
  X509_V_FLAG_TRUSTED_FIRST flag (on OpenSSL 1.0.2 only).
  This is workaround #2 from the OpenSSL Blog.  For details, see both:
  https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/09/13/LetsEncryptRootCertExpire/
  https://letsencrypt.org/docs/dst-root-ca-x3-expiration-september-2021/

  NOTE: OpenSSL 1.0.2 is end of life, it is assumed that the OpenSSL library
  is kept up to date by a distributor or via OpenSSL support contract.
  Where this is not the case, please upgrade to a supported OpenSSL version.

# DOCUMENTATION:
* The manual page was revised after re-checking with mandoc -Tlint, aspell,
  igor. Some more revisions were made for clarity.

# TRANSLATIONS: language translations were updated by these fine people:
* sv:    G=F6ran Uddeborg [Swedish]
* pl:    Jakub Bogusz [Polish]
* fr:    Fr=E9d=E9ric Marchal [French]
* cs:    Petr Pisar [Czech]
* eo:    Keith Bowes [Esperanto]
* ja:    Takeshi Hamasaki [Japanese]
