2002-12-12 22:38:23
The 6.2.0 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail>.

The source archive is available at:
<URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.2.0.tar.gz>

Here are the release notes:

fetchmail-6.2.0 (Fri Dec 13 00:10:07 EST 2002), 22235 lines:

* Applied Steffen Esser's fix for a buffer-overflow bug in rfc822.c
* Updated Danish, German, and Turkish translation files.
* Sunil Sheye's SMTP timeout patch.

There are 538 people on fetchmail-friends and 701 on
fetchmail-announce.

This is a security update.  Stefan Esser found another potentially
exploitable buffer overrun.

By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.--

[The disarming of citizens] has a double effect, it palsies the hand
and brutalizes the mind: a habitual disuse of physical forces totally
destroys the moral [force]; and men lose at once the power of
protecting themselves, and of discerning the cause of their
oppression.
        -- Joel Barlow, "Advice to the Privileged Orders", 1792-93
