fetchmail-6.2.5

fetchmail-1.3.0 (Tue Oct 1 05:49:49 EDT 1996):
* Significant man page improvements.
* Escapes for newlines in .fetchmailrc are now optional.
* Kill off -2 and -3 options, redundant popclient remnants.
* IMAP code simplification and robustification. Use FETCH FLAGS to find
seen messages. Code should now work even if unseen messages are
interspersed with seen ones, and even if messages are appended to the
mailbox during the run.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-1.2.0
(Sat Sep 28 15:40:50 EDT 1996), 3943 lines:
* The great option massacre. Remove --stdout, --limit, --local, --mda.
We get a significant code and complexity shrinkage this way (a lot of the
configuration machinery goes away too). These things are your MDA’s job.
(This also kills off the lose-mail-on-disk-full bug, which I’ve never
seen but two users reported.)
* Link APOP support by default.
* Fix embarrassing Makefile bug.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-1.1.0
(Sat Sep 28 09:21:10 EDT 1996), 4388 lines:
* In POP3, don’t send LAST if STAT shows count of waiting messages to be zero.
* Document APOP better, we know it works now.
* Lose the .fetchids file and give up on POP3 UIDs, they’re a dead loss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-1.0.0
(Thu Sep 26 11:59:38 EDT 1996), 4453 lines:
* SMTP forwarding and header-rewrite features work with POP2 now.
* Stricter RFC822 conformance, so SMTP to qmail works. Thanks to
Cameron MacPherson for these changes.
* The program is quieter but more informative now (suppress printing of
server greeting message; add the server host being queried to the
message count information line).
* Add ‘skip’ option to make it easier to set up test entries.
* Name change (it ain’t just for POP any more).
==============================================================================
popclient-3.2 (Mon Sep 23 13:29:46 EDT 1996):
* RPOP support (coded at a user’s request but untested).
* Ported to QNX (see the Makefile).
* Add code by Michael Schwendt for
improved sizeticker.
* Improved RFC822 parsing (thanks to Rob Funk).
* Move the per-user lockfile to /tmp so it gets cleared at reboot time.
* Warn users that running concurrent instances of popclient is a bad idea.
* Try USER and HOME to set defaults before going to the password file.
This should work better in Sun NIS environments.
popclient-3.1 (Thu Sep 12 15:45:25 EDT 1996):
* MDA arguments are now dumped when using the -V option.
* Sendmail delivery from background seems to work now.
* We have IMAP2bis/IMAP4 support.
* Code now autoprobes for a POP3, IMAP, or POP2 server if no protocol is
specified.
* SMTP forwarding support. Thanks to Harry Hochheiser
for this simple but clever idea. It’s now the default delivery mode.
* If no UNIX From line is found, popclient will now synthesize a correct
line from the RFC822 From line.
* It is now possible to specify the host TCP/IP port number to connect to.
