 # NOTE THAT THE RELEASE OF FUTURE FETCHMAIL 6.3.X VERSIONS IS UNCLEAR.
 Should a 7.0 release be made earlier, chances are that the 6.3.X branch
 is abandoned and its changes be folded into the 7.0 release, with changes

+# REGRESSION FIX
+* The --logfile option now works again outside daemon mode, reported by Heinz
+  Diehl. The documentation that I had been reading was inconsistent with the
+  code, and only parts of the manual page claimed that --logfile was only
+  effective in daemon mode.
+
+# KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS
+  (This section floats upwards through the NEWS file so it stays with the
+  current release information)
+* Fetchmail does not handle messages without Message-ID header well
+  (See sourceforge.net bug #780933)
+* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
+* Sun Workshop 6 (SPARC) is known to miscompile the configuration file lexer in
+  64-bit mode.  Either compile 32-bit code or use GCC to compile 64-bit
+  fetchmail.  Note that fetchmail doesn't take advantage of 64-bit code,
+  so compiling 32-bit SPARC code should not cause any difficulties.
+* Fetchmail does not track pending deletes across crashes.
+* The command line interface is sometimes a bit stubborn, for instance,
+  fetchmail -s doesn't work with a daemon running.
+* Linux systems may return duplicates of an IP address in some circumstances if
+  no or no global IPv6 addresses are configured.
+  (No workaround. Ubuntu Bug#582585, Novell Bug#606980.)
+* Kerberos 5 may be broken, particularly on Heimdal, and provide bogus error
+  messages. This will not be fixed, because the maintainer has no Kerberos 5
+  server to test against. Use GSSAPI.
