Regression reported by David Hough. + + On systems that neither provide auto-allocation semantics for realpath(), + nor PATH_MAX, fetchmail will print this error and abort. Such systems + are unsupported, see README. + +## CHANGES: +* Add a test program fm_realpath, and a t.realpath script, neither to be + installed. These will test resolution of the current working directory. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + fetchmail-6.4.4 (released 2020-04-26, 27530 LoC): ## UPDATED TRANSLATIONS - WITH THANKS TO THE TRANSLATOR: -- cgit v1.2.3
