 * The sleeping at/awakened at messages appear in logfiles and syslog only if
   verbose mode is enabled.  On the console, they will still appear without
   verbose mode.  Fixes Debian Bug#282259.
+* fetchmail only requests IPv6 addresses via name service if at least one is
+  configured on the local host, likewise for IPv4.  (AI_ADDRCONFIG flag to
