I'm considering shipping 6.0.0 shortly. This is intended to be
an ultra-stable release.
Here is what I have integrated since 5.8.13:
* Cygwin port fixes for socket.c.
* Matthias Andree's patches to:
(a) clean up xmalloc types,
(b) improve distclean,
(c) use sendmail -i in configure.in and dump the fallback configuration,
(d) turn fallback off by default.
* Scott Gifford's dotted-quad patch.
If you know of any outstanding bug fixes (not new features) that need
to go in before 6.0.0, speak now.
I'm on fetchmail-5.9.9-1.
It, like releases ever since you implemented automatic rereading the config
file, seems rather prone to silently terminating when the ~/.fetchmailrc is
changed. I fear I've learned to live with it, but it really should get some
attention.
Also, I suspect there's a problem if the changed config is invalid. As I
recall,
you said it works by execking itself. If so, then I reckon that if the new
config file contains errors then it will terminate, though not silently as it
does for me.
