- update to 6.4.31
* Bugfixes:
- Try to fix ./configure --with-ssl=... for systems that have
multiple OpenSSL versions installed. Issues reported by
Dennis Putnam.
- The netrc parser now reports its errors to syslog or logfile
when appropriate, previously it would always log to stderr.
- Add error checking to .netrc parser.
* Changes:
- manpage: use .UR/.UE macros instead of .URL for URIs.
- manpage: fix contractions. Found with FreeBSD's igor tool.
- manpage: HTML now built with pandoc -> python-docutils
(manServer.pl was dropped)

- update to 6.4.30:
* Breaking changes:
- Bump wolfSSL minimum required version to 5.2.0 to pull in
security fix.
* Changes:
- Using OpenSSL 1.* before 1.1.1n elicits a compile-time
warning.
- Using OpenSSL 3.* before 3.0.2 elicits a compile-time
warning.
- configure.ac was tweaked in order to hopefully fix
cross-compilation issues report, and different patch
suggested
* Translations.:
- ro: Updated Romanian translation.

- update to 6.5.25:
* 6.4.24's workaround for OpenSSL 1.0.2's X509_V_FLAG_TRUSTED_FIRST flag
contained a typo and would not kick in properly.
* Library and/or rpath setting from configure.ac was fixed.
* Added an example systemd unit file and instructions to contrib/systemd/
which runs fetchmail as a daemon with 5-minute poll intervals.
* fetchmail can now be used with wolfSSL 5's OpenSSL compatibility layer,
see INSTALL and README.SSL. This is considered experimental.
Feedback solicited.
* Bison 3.8 dropped yytoknum altogether, breaking compilation due to a
warning workaround. Remove the cast of yytoknum to void. This may cause
a compiler warning to reappear with older Bison versions.
* OpenSSL 1.0.2: Workaround for systems that keep the expired DST Root CA X3
certificate in its trust store because OpenSSL by default prefers the
untrusted certificate and fails.
* For common ssh-based IMAP PREAUTH setups (i. e. those that use a plugin
- no matter its contents - and that set auth ssh), change the STARTTLS
error message to suggest sslproto '' instead.
This is a commonly reported issue after the CVE-2021-39272 fix in 6.4.22.
- drop fetchmail-bison-3.8.patch (upstream)

- Update to 6.4.22: [bsc#1190069, CVE-2021-39272]
* OPENSSL AND LICENSING NOTE:
- fetchmail 6.4.22 is compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 3.0.0.
OpenSSL's licensing changed between these releases from dual
OpenSSL/SSLeay license to Apache License v2.0, which is
considered incompatible with GPL v2 by the FSF. For
implications and details, see the file COPYING.
* SECURITY FIXES:
- CVE-2021-39272: fetchmail-SA-2021-02: On IMAP connections,
without --ssl and with nonempty --sslproto, meaning that
fetchmail is to enforce TLS, and when the server or an attacker
sends a PREAUTH greeting, fetchmail used to continue an
unencrypted connection. Now, log the error and abort the
connection. --Recommendation for servers that support
SSL/TLS-wrapped or "implicit" mode on a dedicated port
(default 993): use --ssl, or the ssl user option in an rcfile.
- On IMAP and POP3 connections, --auth ssh no longer prevents
STARTTLS negotiation.
- On IMAP connections, fetchmail does not permit overriding
a server-side LOGINDISABLED with --auth password any more.
- On POP3 connections, the possibility for RPA authentication
(by probing with an AUTH command without arguments) no longer
prevents STARTTLS negotiation.
- For POP3 connections, only attempt RPA if the authentication
type is "any".
* BUG FIXES:
- On IMAP connections, when AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL fails and we
have received the tagged (= final) response, do not send "*".
- On IMAP connections, AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL without username
will properly send a "=" for protocol compliance.

- Update to 6.4.20: [bsc#1188875, CVE-2021-36386]
* CVE-2021-36386: DoS or information disclosure in some configurations.
When a log message exceeds c. 2 kByte in size, for instance,
with very long header contents, and depending on verbosity
option, fetchmail can crash or misreport each first log message
that requires a buffer reallocation. fetchmail then reallocates
memory and re-runs vsnprintf() without another call to va_start(),
so it reads garbage. The exact impact depends on many factors
around the compiler and operating system configurations used and
the implementation details of the stdarg.h interfaces of the two
functions mentioned before.

- update to 6.4.18:
* fetchmailconf: fetchmail 6.4.16 added --sslcertfile to the configuration dump,
but fetchmailconf support was incomplete in Git 7349f124 and it could not
parse sslcertfile, thus the user settings editor came up empty with console
errors printed. Fix configuration parser in fetchmailconf.
* fetchmailconf: do not require fetchmail for -V. do not require Tk (Tkinter)
for -d option. This is to fail more gracefully on incomplete installs.
* TLS code: remove OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED macros to avoid portability issues
with OpenSSL v3 - these are for development purposes, not production.
* TLS futureproofing: use SSL_use_PrivateKey_file instead of
SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey_file, the latter will be deprecated with OpenSSL v3,
and the user's key file might be something else than RSA.
* IMAP client: it used to leak memory for username and password when trying
the LOGIN (password-based) authentication and encountered a timeout situation.
* dist-tools/getstats.py: also counts lines in *.py files, shown above.
* fetchmail.man: now mentions that you may need to add --ssl when specifying
a TLS-wrapped port.
* fetchmailconf: --version (-V) now prints the Python version in use.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:mail/fetchmail?expand=0&rev=109
- update to 6.4.16:
* fetchmail's --configdump, and fetchmailconf, lacked support for
the sslcertfile option.
* fetchmail --version [fetchmail -V] now queries and prints the
SSL/TLS library's "SSL default trusted certificate" file or
directory (mind the word "default"), where the OpenSSL-compatible
TLS implementation will look for trusted root, meaning
certification authority (CA), certificates.
* fetchmail --version now prints version of the OpenSSL library
that it was compiled against, and that it is using at runtime,
and also the OPENSSL_DIR and OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR (if available).
