[fetchmail][fetchmail-announce] The 5.8.12 release of fetchmail is available

2001-07-06 02:13:06
The 5.8.12 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail>.

Here are the release notes:

fetchmail-5.8.12 (Fri Jul  6 00:56:02 EDT 2001), 21052 lines:

* Don't depend on having snprintf available.
* Bug fix for envskip.
* ODMR finally seems to be working.
* Handle multiple backslashes within RFC822 address strings correctly.
* Don't exit on a failure to DNS-resolve a mailserver name, just 
  make it inactive.  Exit only if all lookups fail.
* Restore code to deal with SMTP error responses at RCPT TO time, but
  without issuing an RSET.  This is intended to fix obscure bugs that
  show up in recent Postfix releases and sendmail configurations that
  delay antispam checks on the MAIL FROM line until RCPT TO time.

There are 353 people on fetchmail-friends and 608 on fetchmail-announce.

This is a 5.9.0 release candidate.  I will ship it as the next stable 

By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.
I will issue 5.9.0 in a few days if I don't get bug reports that need
to bec dealt with.
