@@ -81,6 +81,19 @@ fetchmail-6.4.16 (not yet released):
6.2.5 to 6.4.X duplicate suppression by entire raw header.
Manpage bug found by Julian Bane debugging "duplicate message" behaviour.
+# FEATURE
+* fetchmail --version [fetchmail -V] now queries and prints the SSL/TLS
+ library's "SSL default trusted certificate" file or directory (mind the word
+ "default"), where the OpenSSL-compatible TLS implementation will look for
+ trusted root, meaning certification authority (CA), certificates.
+ NOTE 1: watch the output carefully if the line prints the defaults
+ or the configured path (without "default").
+ NOTE 2: SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE are documented environment variables
+ for OpenSSL 1.1.1 to override the *default* locations (those compiled into
+ OpenSSL or possibly in its configuration file).
+ This was added when Gene Heskett was debugging his setup and the
+ information "where does OpenSSL look" was missing.
