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.

# 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.
