Here are the release notes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchmail-6.5.4 (released 2025-06-17, 31208 LoC):

## BUGFIXES:
* socket: avoid crash when writing to a socket without SSL/TLS fails.
  Reported by Andrea Venturoli via mailing list, fixes #71.
* wolfSSL support: avoid fetchmail.c compilation failure in certain
  configurations of wolfSSL (for instance, on FreeBSD's wolfssl-5.8.0_1
  package), OpenSSL_version enables a newer 1.1.x compat API that passes its
  argument to a wolfSSL API, with OPENSSL_DIR and OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR, causing
  related compiler failures.
  See <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=287435>.
