# SECURITY BUG FIXES
-* Fetchmail runs the IMAP STARTTLS or POP3 STLS negotiation with the set timeout
- (default five minutes) now. This was reported missing, from fetchmail freezes
- beyond a week, by Thomas Jarosch.
+* STARTTLS: Fetchmail runs the IMAP STARTTLS or POP3 STLS negotiation with the
+ set timeout (default five minutes) now. This was reported missing, with
+ observed fetchmail freezes beyond a week, by Thomas Jarosch.
SSL-wrapped connections were unaffected by this timeout, so users of older
versions can force ssl-wrapped connections -- if supported by the server --
with the --ssl command line or ssl rcfile option.
# BUG FIXES
-* Do not search for UNSEEN messages in ranges. Usually, there are very few new
- messages and most of the range searches result in nothing. Instead, split the
- long response to make the IMAP driver think that there are multiple lines of
- response. (Sunil Shetye)

* Do not print "skipping message" for old messages even in verbose mode. If
there are too many old messages, the logs just get filled without any real
activity. (Sunil Shetye) (suggested by Yunfan Jiang)

+ found on systems are too diverse, and the code size saving is not worth any
+ more wasted user or programmer time.
# CHANGES
-* fetchmail now always uses its own MD5 implementation. The library and header

* Call strlen() only once when removing CRLF from a line. (Sunil Shetye)
* fetchmail sets Internet domain sockets to "keepalive" mode now. Note that
there is no portable way to configure actual timeouts for this mode, and some
- systems only support a system-wide timeout setting. Thus, fetchmail does not

attempt to tune the time spans of keepalive mode.
