Comment (by ken@…):
fetchmail-6.4.12 (released 2020-09-04, 27596 LoC):
# BUG FIXES:
* The README file is now the one from Git again. The makerelease.pl script
used to roll and upload the tarball sometimes clobbered the README file
and
replaced its contents by a part of the NEWS file.
# 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)
* Fetchmail currently uses 31-bit signed integers in several places
where unsigned and/or wider types should have been used, for instance,
for mailbox sizes, and misreports sizes of 2 GibiB and beyond.
Fixing this requires C89 compatibility to be relinquished.
* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
* 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
circumstances 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.
