@@ -99,6 +99,17 @@ fetchmail-6.4.0 (not yet released):
* Fetchmail prevents buffer overruns in GSSAPI authentication with user names
beyond c. 6000 characters in length. Reported by Greg Hudson.
+## CHANGED REQUIREMENTS
+* fetchmail 6.4.0 is written in C99 and requires a SUSv3 (Single Unix
+ Specification v3, a superset of POSIX.1-2001 aka. IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 with
+ XSI extension) compliant system. For now, a C89 compiler should also work
+ if the system is SUSv3 compliant.
+
+ In particular, older fetchmail versions had workaround for several functions
+ standardized in the Single Unix Specification v3, these have been removed.
+
+ The trio/ library has been removed from the distribution.
+
## CHANGES
* fetchmail 6.3.X is unsupported.
* fetchmail now configures OpenSSL support by default.
