+fetchmail (6.4.23-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ For common ssh-based IMAP PREAUTH setups (i. e. those that use a plugin
+ - no matter its contents - and that set auth ssh), change the STARTTLS
+ error message to suggest sslproto '' instead.
+ This is a commonly reported issue after the CVE-2021-39272 fix in
+ 6.4.22.

+fetchmail (6.3.6~rc3-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ Using at least one of the options "sslproto 'tls1'", "sslfingerprint" or
+ "sslcertck" enforces STARTTLS for POP3 and IMAP and terminates the connection
+ if unsuccessful. The same configuration causes permanent connection failure
+ with POP2, which is obsolete and does not support STLS. fetchmail 6.3.5 and
+ older had no way to enforce TLS. With those older versions, TLS was always
+ opportunistic, but fetchmail would happily transmit the password in cleartext
+ if STARTTLS failed.
+ Configurations using --ssl --sslcertck however have been safe.

+fetchmail (6.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ File /etc/default/fetchamil has been added to stablish if user wants to
+ start fetchmail on boot or not.
+ On install time we try to determine from old version if start or not.
+ Default will be to not start.
+ This addition is necessary since upgrades of the package while the users
+ hadn't finish to configure fetchmail properly were breaking the upgrade.
+ This had bitten quite a few users.
+ The fetchmail-ssl dummy package has been removed since it is no longer
+ needed.
+ Due to #327250 fetchmail home directory (/var/run/fetchmail) changed to
+ /var/lib/fetchmail
