The 5.9.1 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail>.
Here are the release notes:
fetchmail-5.9.1 (Mon Sep 24 19:01:57 EDT 2001), 21120 lines:
* Make -D short option for --smtpaddress active again.
* Typo fix for Polish translation.
* Make sure IMAP capability checks are caseblind.
* Make sure suffix checks on akalists are properly caseblinded.
* All warning mail now has a generated date stamp.
* getopt.c and getopt1.c removed due to license incompatibility with OpenSSL.
* End of poll cycle is now logged.
* Sanity check now rejects SSL option if SSL support is not compiled in
(resolves Debian bug #109796).
* HMH's fix for the LMTP localhost/foo problem.
* Mike Warfield's fix for using a combined SSL cert and key in a single file.
* DNS lookups moved to just before the mailserver socket open, so fetchmail
now works OK even if started up without Internet access.
* Switched from _( to GT_( as a gettext macro, in order to avoid a
conflict with the SSL library.
There are 404 people on fetchmail-friends and 624 on fetchmail-announce.
Note to Red Hat and other distribution makers: this should be considered
a stable release. Minor bugfixes galore and no new features; the code
has actually simplified since 5.9.0.
By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.

..every Man has a Property in his own Person. This no Body has any
Right to but himself. The Labour of his Body, and the Work of his
Hands, we may say, are properly his. .... The great and chief end
therefore, of Mens uniting into Commonwealths, and putting themselves
under Government, is the Preservation of their Property.
