The 6.4.31 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>.

It should make the build a bit more robust and the manpage more=20
portable, and adds some error checking to the .netrc file parser.

Further .netrc parser updates and documentation of expected input=20
formats are postponed to fetchmail 6.5 because they might break existing=20
setups, so should not change in a patchlevel release.

Note that OpenSSL and wolfSSL both had security updates, OpenSSL for=20
c_rehash, and wolfSSL had fixes for side channel attacks. Upgrade those=20
before you upgrade fetchmail. Versions are at least OpenSSL 1.1.1q or=20
3.0.5, or wolfSSL 5.4.0. The documentation has been updated accordingly,
but fetchmail does not enforce these, leaving it up to distributors.

The source archive is available at:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/fetchmail-6.4.=
31.tar.xz/download>
