fetchmail-6.2.5

* IMAP code now detects IMAP4rev1 capabilities (RFC 2060) and uses them.

(Tue Jan 21 16:44:56 EST 1997), 8164 lines:
features --
* ‘interface’ and ‘monitor’ options are now per-server.
* ‘batchlimit’ option is now per-user.
* RFC822 header continuation for long address lists is is now handled properly.
* There is now a ‘nodns’ option to suppress DNS checking of address hostname
parts in multidrop mode (make sure your aka list is complete before you use
this!).
* Options such as ‘nokeep’ can now be written ‘no keep’.
* RPOP support is back by user request.
Note: The first two changes mean that older .fetchmailrc files using
the ‘set’ syntax for these options will cause fetchmail to die with a
parse error at initialization time. Conversion is trivial -- for
details, see the FAQ.
bugs --
* Stricter parsing of greeting message for the host name; eliminates some
minor errors when using IMAP and the hostname is something like jet.es.
* --quit in root-daemon mode didn’t work, fixed this.
* Ensure that default server parameters get properly zeroed out after each
poll or skip statement in .fetchmailrc.
* Arrange an EXPUNGE after each delete when using IMAP, so deletions get done
OK even if there’s a socket error before termination.
* Simpler and better header-rewrite code, fixing some weird cases where
it failed. Thanks to Masafumi NAKANE and
Carey Evans for pointing out these
problems.
* Handle zero-length messages properly; thanks to Bob Craycroft.
Note: the RFC subdirectory is no longer included with the distribution
(this cut its size in half!) Instead, applicable RFCs are listed on the
manual page.
