The source archive is available at: <http://prdownload.berlios.de/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.3.25.tar.xz> <http://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.3/fetchmail-6.3.2= 5.tar.xz/download> or in the older bzip2 format: <http://prdownload.berlios.de/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.3.25.tar.bz2> Here are the release notes: fetchmail-6.3.25 (released 2013-03-18, 26149 LoC): # NOTE THAT FETCHMAIL IS NO LONGER PUBLISHED THROUGH IBIBLIO. * They have stopped accepting submissions and consider themselves an archiv= e. # BUG FIXES * Fix a memory leak in out-of-memory error condition while handling plugins. Report and patch by John Beck (found with Parfait static code analyzer). * Fix a NULL pointer dereference in out-of-memory error condition while han= dling plugins. Report and patch by John Beck (found with Parfait static code analyzer). # CHANGES * Improved reporting when SSL/TLS X.509 certificate validation has failed, working around a not-so-recent swapping of two OpenSSL error codes, and a practical impossibility to distinguish broken certification chains from missing trust anchors (root certificates). * OpenSSL decoded errors are now reported through report(), rather than dum= ped to stderr, so that they should show up in logfiles and/or syslog. * The fetchmail manual page no longer claims that MD5 were the default Open= SSL hash format (for use with --sslfingerprint). Reported by Jakob Wilk, PARTIAL fix for Debian Bug#700266. * The fetchmail manual page now refers the user to --softbounce from the SMTP/ESMTP ERROR HANDLING section. Reported by Anton Shterenlikht. # WORKAROUNDS * Older systems that provide the older RFC-2553 implementation of getaddrin= fo, rather than the current RFC-3493, and systems that do not provide this getaddrinfo() interface at all and thus use the replacement functions from libesmtp/getaddrinfo.?, might return EAI_NODATA when a host is registered= in DNS as MX or similar, but without A or AAAA records. Handle this situati= on when checking for multidrop aliases and treat EAI_NODATA the same as EAI_NONAME, i. e. name cannot be resolved. The proper fix, however, is to upgrade the operating system. # TRANSLATION UPDATES [cs] Czech, by Petr Pisar [da] Danish, by Joe Hansen [de] German [eo] Esperanto, by Sian Mountbatten and Felipe Castro [fr] French, by Fr=C3=A9d=C3=A9ric Marchal [ja] Japanese, by Takeshi Hamasaki [pl] Polish, by Jakub Bogusz [sv] Swedish, by G=C3=B6ran Uddeborg [vi] Vietnamese, by Tr=E1=BA=A7n Ng=E1=BB=8Dc Qu=C3=A2n # 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. --1yeeQ81UyVL57Vl7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlFHrLEACgkQvmGDOQUufZV17ACggo1ClsZN4jDDNc/UrizTMzKn mUEAoL7+Jbt+K3OzzW5Sg30Ufx1amHmQ =Pdwq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --1yeeQ81UyVL57Vl7-- --===============8023089395054773953== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ fetchmail-announce mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/fetchmail-announce --===============8023089395054773953==--
