---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
fetchmail-6.4.25.rc2 (release candidate 2021-11-27, 31633 LoC):

# BREAKING CHANGES:
* Since distributions continue patching for LibreSSL use, which cannot be
  linked legally, block out LibreSSL in configure.ac and socket.c, and
  refer to COPYING.  OpenSSL and wolfSSL 5 can be used.
  SSL-related documentation was updated, do re-read
  COPYING, INSTALL, README, README.packaging, README.SSL.
* Bump OpenSSL version requirement to 1.0.2f in order to safely remove
  the obsolete OpenSSL flag SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE. This blocks out 1.0.2e an=
d=20
  older 1.0.2 versions. 1.0.2f was a security fix release, and 1.0.2u is=20
  publicly available from https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.2/

# BUG FIXES:
* 6.4.24's workaround for OpenSSL 1.0.2's X509_V_FLAG_TRUSTED_FIRST flag
  contained a typo and would not kick in properly.
* Library and/or rpath setting from configure.ac was fixed.

# ADDITIONS:
* Added an example systemd unit file and instructions to contrib/systemd/
  which runs fetchmail as a daemon with 5-minute poll intervals.
  Courteously contributed by Barak A. Pearlmutter, Debian Bug#981464.

# CHANGES:
* fetchmail can now be used with wolfSSL 5's OpenSSL compatibility layer,
  see INSTALL and README.SSL. This is considered experimental.
  Feedback solicited.
* The getstats.py dist-tool now counts lines of .ac and .am files.
* ./configure --with-ssl now supports pkg-config module names, too. See INS=
TALL.

# TRANSLATIONS: language translations were updated by these fine people:
