The 5.9.0 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail>.
Here are the release notes:
fetchmail-5.9.0 (Sun Aug 12 23:52:16 EDT 2001), 21062 lines:
* Blush...# characters now go to stdout, same place as the dots.
* Matthias Andree's patch to correct parsing of spaces in quoted usernames.
There are 371 people on fetchmail-friends and 610 on fetchmail-announce.
No gripes about broken builds for days now, so I figured I'd better
get this out before GNU gettext figures out yet another way to hose us.
By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.

Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation,
that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defence? Where is the
difference between having our arms in our own possession and under our
own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If
our defence be the *real* object of having those arms, in whose hands
can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in
our own hands?
-- Patrick Henry, speech of June 9 1788
