Note the final letter of the version: A vs. B.

The 6.5.0.dev20200711b release of fetchmail is now available at the usual l=
ocations,
including <https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fetchmail/branch_6.5/>.

NOTE: replies with your findings should go to the fetchmail-devel@ mailing
list, not -users@.

I've made some configure changes that should assist with finding and linking
against OpenSSL outside the typical paths, and also set the run-time linker
path (rpath) properly. Let me know if/where this regresses and then provide
me details (config.log, config.h and make logs) if it fails.

It also tightens up OpenSSL to security level 2, so if you know your mail
server is pretty old, let me know if it still works for you.

This is supposed to become a 6.5.0 in several months' time.

The source archive is available at:
<https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fetchmail/branch_6.5/fetchmail-6=
=2E5.0.dev20200711b.tar.lz>
GnuPG signature file:
<https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fetchmail/branch_6.5/fetchmail-6=
=2E5.0.dev20200711b.tar.lz.asc>

Here are the release notes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-----
## EXPERIMENTAL CHANGES - these are not documented anywhere else, only here:
* fetchmail supports a FETCHMAIL_SSL_SECLEVEL environment variable that
  can be used to override the OpenSSL security level. Fetchmail by default
  raises the security level to 2 if lower. This variable can be used to low=
er it.
  Use with extreme caution. Note that levels 3 or higher will frequently ca=
use
  incompabilities with servers because server-side data sizes are often too=
 low.
  Valid range: 0 to 5 for OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 3.0.0-alpha4.
* fetchmail supports a FETCHMAIL_SSL_CIPHERS environment variable that
  sets the cipher string (through two different OpenSSL functions) for all =
TLS
  versions. If setting the ciphers fails, fetchmail will not connect.
  If not given, defaults to Postfix's "medium" list,=20
  "aNULL:-aNULL:HIGH:MEDIUM:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
