Here are the release notes:


fetchmail-6.3.23 (released 2012-12-10, 26106 LoC):

# NOTE THAT THE RELEASE OF FUTURE FETCHMAIL 6.3.X VERSIONS IS UNCLEAR.
Should a 7.0 release be made earlier, chances are that the 6.3.X branch
is abandoned and its changes be folded into the 7.0 release, with changes
after 6.3.22 not available on their own in a newer 6.3.X release.

# REGRESSION FIXES
* Fix compilation with OpenSSL implementations before 0.9.8m that lack
  SSL_CTX_clear_options. Patch by Earl Chew.
  Note that the use of older OpenSSL versions with fetchmail is unsupported=
 and
  *not* recommended.

# BUG FIXES
* Fix combination of --plugin and -f -. Patch by Alexander Zangerl,
  to fix Debian Bug#671294.
* Clean up logfile vs. syslog handling, and in case logfile overrides
  syslog, send a message to the latter stating where logging goes.

# CHANGES
* The build process can now be made a bit more silent and concise through
  ./configure --enable-silent-rules, or by adding "V=3D0" to the make comma=
nd.

# WORKAROUNDS
* Make Maillennium POP3 workarounds less specific, to encompass
  Maillennium POP3/UNIBOX (Maillennium V05.00c++). Reported by Eddie
  via fetchmail-users mailing list, 2012-10-13.

# 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)
* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
* Sun Workshop 6 (SPARC) is known to miscompile the configuration file lexe=
r in
  64-bit mode.  Either compile 32-bit code or use GCC to compile 64-bit
  fetchmail.  Note that fetchmail doesn't take advantage of 64-bit code,
  so compiling 32-bit SPARC code should not cause any difficulties.
* 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.


By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.
