Here are the release notes:
fetchmail-5.9.6 (Fri Dec 14 04:03:50 EST 2001), 21247 lines:
* OPIE bug fixes by Jun Miyoshi <usako(_at_)omnisci(_dot_)co(_dot_)jp>.
* Documented known IDLE bug in the todo.html file.
* Sunil Shetye's fix for a timeout/reconnect bug.
* LMTP fix from Toshiro HIKITA <toshi(_at_)sodan(_dot_)org>.
* The duplicate-killer doesn't try to operate if we can get an actual
recipient address from the trace headers.
There are 416 people on fetchmail-friends and 629 on fetchmail-announce.
The main change in this release is that the duplicate-killer logic is
now disabled when fetchmail finds a recipient address to forward to,
such as in a sendmail Received line or qmail Delivered-To.
By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.

Everything you know is wrong. But some of it is a useful first approximation.
