No new features until after 2.0. Thanks + to everybody who contributed ideas and criticism. + +* It is now possible to specify multiple local recipients by giving a list + of names following "to" or "is". Each local recipient is checked for in the + To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of each message; if a match is found, the message + is sent to that local recipient. This makes it possible to do mailing + lists and multidrop mailboxes. See the man page for details (and note + the caveat in the BUGS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS section). + +* It is possible to specify a size limit for retrieved messages. I resisted + doing this because I don't want fetchmail to be in the filtering game, but + too many Europeans begged for it because their telecomms monopolies are + price-gouging them on per-second phone charges. I will ignore, or be + extremely rude to, anyone who takes this feature as a license to beg me + for kill files or any other form of content-based filtering. Use + procmail on your server if you want that. + +* If you use an MDA, the internal changes to support multi-drop mailboxes + require that you *remove* the %s at the end of your MDA string. Local + delivery addresses will be appended to the end of the command in the + obvious way. + +* The first message from a query now includes the number of old messages + when this can be determined (that is not under POP2). + +* POP3 UID support really works now.

Fetchmail -V will display them in a printable form. + +* Program now tries to set itself to the ID of the local user before + running an MDA, and reset to root afterwards. This will work on + any system with seteuid(2), including Linux and the BSDs. + +bugs -- + +* Default user name to deliver to is now the calling user, unless + program is running as root in which case it is the remote user name + (default can be overridden with an `is' or `to' declaration). + In versions up to 1.7 it was the calling user; in 1.8 the remote + user ID.

It now reports PS_SUCCESS only if + there is new mail waiting. + +* Under Linux, if fetchmail is run in daemon mode with the network + inaccessible, each poll leaves a socket allocated but in CLOSE state + (this is visible in netstat(1)'s output). These sockets aren't + garbage-collected until fetchmail exits. When whatever kernel table + is involved fills up, fetchmail can no longer run even if the network is up. + To avoid this, fetchmail now commits seppuku after some number of + unsuccessful socket opens. + +* Don't try using FLAGS.SILENT, some allegedly IMAP2bis servers seem to + choke on it. + +There are 100 people on the fetchmail-friends list. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +fetchmail-1.8.0 (Fri Oct 11 15:08:10 EDT 1996), 4586 lines: + +features -- + +* Use kill(0, pid) to make lock handling a bit smarter (thanks to Johan + Vromans <JVromans@squirrel.nl> for the suggestion). + +* Arrange for timeout of client after 5 minutes if connection to server is + dropped (thanks to Gaspar Sinai <gsinai@gol.com>). + +* All pretensions to RPOP support have been dropped.

Fixed. +* Update and expansion of NOTES. +* The --all and --flush flag validity checks move to driver.c. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +fetchmail-1.4.0 (Wed Oct 2 09:22:37 EDT 1996), 3884 lines: +* More man page improvements. +* Lexer changes to work around bison's "feature" of silently ignoring 0-value + tokens (caused options nokeep, norewrite, nofetchall, noskip to be no-ops). + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +fetchmail-1.3.0 (Tue Oct 1 05:49:49 EDT 1996): +* Significant man page improvements. +* Escapes for newlines in .fetchmailrc are now optional. +* Kill off -2 and -3 options, redundant popclient remnants. +* IMAP code simplification and robustification. Use FETCH FLAGS to find + seen messages. Code should now work even if unseen messages are + interspersed with seen ones, and even if messages are appended to the + mailbox during the run. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +fetchmail-1.2.0 (Sat Sep 28 15:40:50 EDT 1996), 3943 lines: +* The great option massacre. Remove --stdout, --limit, --local, --mda. + We get a significant code and complexity shrinkage this way (a lot of the + configuration machinery goes away too). These things are your MDA's job. + (This also kills off the lose-mail-on-disk-full bug, which I've never + seen but two users reported.) +* Link APOP support by default. +* Fix embarrassing Makefile bug. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +fetchmail-1.1.0 (Sat Sep 28 09:21:10 EDT 1996), 4388 lines: +* In POP3, don't send LAST if STAT shows count of waiting messages to be zero. +* Document APOP better, we know it works now. +* Lose the .fetchids file and give up on POP3 UIDs, they're a dead loss. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +fetchmail-1.0.0 (Thu Sep 26 11:59:38 EDT 1996), 4453 lines: +* SMTP forwarding and header-rewrite features work with POP2 now. +* Stricter RFC822 conformance, so SMTP to qmail works. Thanks to + Cameron MacPherson <unsound@oz.net> for these changes. +* The program is quieter but more informative now (suppress printing of + server greeting message; add the server host being queried to the + message count information line). +* Add `skip' option to make it easier to set up test entries. +* Name change (it ain't just for POP any more). + +============================================================================== +popclient-3.2 (Mon Sep 23 13:29:46 EDT 1996): +* RPOP support (coded at a user's request but untested). +* Ported to QNX (see the Makefile). +* Add code by Michael Schwendt <3schwend@informatik.uni-hamburg.de> for + improved sizeticker. +* Improved RFC822 parsing (thanks to Rob Funk). +* Move the per-user lockfile to /tmp so it gets cleared at reboot time. +* Warn users that running concurrent instances of popclient is a bad idea. +* Try USER and HOME to set defaults before going to the password file. + This should work better in Sun NIS environments. + +popclient-3.1 (Thu Sep 12 15:45:25 EDT 1996): +* MDA arguments are now dumped when using the -V option. +* Sendmail delivery from background seems to work now. +* We have IMAP2bis/IMAP4 support. +* Code now autoprobes for a POP3, IMAP, or POP2 server if no protocol is + specified. +* SMTP forwarding support. Thanks to Harry Hochheiser <harry@tigger.jvnc.net> + for this simple but clever idea. It's now the default delivery mode. +* If no UNIX From line is found, popclient will now synthesize a correct + line from the RFC822 From line. +* It is now possible to specify the host TCP/IP port number to connect to. + +popclient-3.05 (Thu Aug 22 22:59:04 EDT 1996): +* Experimental support for RFC1725-compliant POP servers with the UIDL + command and without LAST. + +popclient-3.04 (Wed Aug 21 00:22:44 EDT 1996): +* Logfile option works. + +popclient-3.03: +* Minor bug fixes for password querying and redirection to stdout. + +popclient-3.02 (Fri Jul 19 11:37:56 EDT 1996), 3682 lines: +* Correct buggy processing of nokeep/noflush/fetchall. +* Fix buggy -mda option processing. +* Added -N/--norewrite option. +* Delivery via sendmail now works in non-daemon mode. + +popclient-3.01 (Mon Jul 1 13:33:51 EDT 1996): +* Fixed a lexical analyzer bug in quoted-string processing. +* Fixed a bug in dump_options that caused username to be displayed incorrectly. +* The lock assertion code was in the wrong place relative to the daemonize() + call. + +popclient-3.0 (Fri Jun 28 11:33:34 EDT 1996): + +Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> hacked extensively on 3.0b6 and took over +the package with the consent of Carl Harris, the original implementor. +Some of the 3.0 feature additions were inspired by Sean Oh's fetchpop 1.8 +code, and a few use code directly lifted from fetchpop. Here are my (Eric's) +change notes: + +CONFIGURATION AND BUILDING + +* The autoconfigure script incorrectly assumed that all Linuxes use + /usr/bin/deliver. Under Linux it now checks for both /usr/bin/delivermail + and /bin/mail. + +* I added a distribution-maker production to Makefile.in. + +OPTIONS AND COMMAND LINE + +* I have removed the -p command-line option. Given that there's a run control + facility there is no excuse for encouraging users to put plaintext passwords + in scripts which might be readable. + +* Calling popclient with no arguments now causes it to query or operate + on every host in the run control file. + +* I have made --version more useful by having it dump the computed + connection options for each server specified. + +* The user can now explicitly set an MDA (such as procmail) with the + new option -m or -mda. Various possible MDAs are listed on the man page. + +POPRC FILE SYNTAX + +* The run control file lexer now supports "-enclosed strings which may + contain whitespace. + +* I added a --yydebug option to enable run control parser debugging at + runtime if the parser was generated with --debug. It's not documented. + +* You may now have a `defaults' entry in the run control file which sets + overrideable values for other entries. See the man page for details. + +* It is now possible to set keep, flush and fetchall in your run control + file. + +* Fixed incorrect numbering of source lines in run control file parse error + messages. + +* The configure.in specification no longer uses the obsolete AC_TRY_COMPILE + macro (it uses AC_TRY_LINK instead). + +MAILBOX LOCKING + +* I have added mandatory locking of mailbox files where supported. + This will cover Linux systems, in particular. + +* The default behavior is now to do lock-protected append on the user's + system mailbox rather than using delivermail or some other MDA. + (This is a performance hack.) + +* The autoconfigure script now looks for standard mail locations. The + default mail delivery agent is used only if it can't find a mail spool + directory in the standard places. + +FUNCTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS + +* When using POP3, message headers are edited so that replies won't foo up. + Anything that looks like a mail ID local to the POP host gets @ and the + pop servername attached to it before being appended to the user's + mailbox or passed to an MDA. + +* I have implemented daemon mode. + +* I have added a lock check to ensure that there is only one popclient + running per user, and a --quit option to kill the currently running + one. + +DOCUMENTATION + +* All changes and feature additions have been tested in actual use and are + documented on the man page. + +* I have turned the comments in the sample run control file into a new manual + section documenting the file format. + +MISCELLANEOUS BUG FIXES + +* I fixed some de-initialization bugs in pop2.c and pop3.c that led to + fd leaks (these became painfully obvious when I tested daemon mode!). + +* I've fixed the flaky parser error messages. They turned out to be due + to a misdeclaration of yytext. + +These are Carl Harris's change notes from previous releases: + +3.0b5 +o "From " header fix in pop2.c and pop3.c +o Surpress "..." output when --stdout option specified in pop3.c + +3.0b4 +o alloca fix. +o various diagnostic/informational message fixes. + +3.0b3 +o Support for retrieving only new messages from maildrop when + using POP3. +o Support for retrieving only the first n lines of each message + when using POP3. +o APOP authentication support. +o Buffered socket input. + +3.0b2 + This is a "new features" release. +o support for .poprc file. +o GNU-style long options. +o fixed passwords appearing in 'ps' output +o support for multiple servers on one command line + +3.0b1 + This is mostly a test of the autoconfigure integration. +Among the functions performed by the new configure script, is +the ability to detect known system types, configures the mail +delivery agent (MDA) correctly. This should permanently solve +the problem of using something other than an MDA for mail +delivery (which continues to plague Linux slackware 1.2.9). +For this beta, please check the values of MDA_PATH and MDA_ARGS +carefully. They should match the values found in your +sendmail.cf file on the line which begins with "Mlocal". + + Other changes from popclient version 2.21: + +o no longer uses getpass() from the C library. The + internal getpassword() function allows the use of long + passwords. + +o integrated GNU getopt() for long options. Long option + names will appear in a future beta. + +o Several compiler warnings fixed. + +o Fixed problems related to missing include files in + Solaris port. + |
