Greetings,

I have just released fetchmail 6.2.9-rc6, yet another release candidate
before 6.3.0, after further fixes to -rc5, became necessary.

Changes since -rc5 are:
* fetchmailconf now changes the output file to mode 0600 BEFORE writing to it,
  so there is no window where passwords could be read by the world.
  Matthias Andree.
* Missed --port/--service/--ssl cleanups in the manual. Reminder from Thomas
  Wolff. (MA)
* Complain in POP3 if NTLM/MSN auth is requested but had not been enabled at
  compile time. This configuration mismatch now causes an error message and
  authentication failure. Found by Yves Boisjoly.  Matthias Andree
* fetchmailconf now allows expert users to choose the authorization type and
  also offers MSN and NTLM, suggested by Yves Boisjoly. Matthias Andree
* fetchmailconf now (as of 1.49) writes its version to the comment of the
  saved run control file. Matthias Andree
* Properly shut down SSL connections. Berlios Patch #647 by Arkadiusz
  Miśkiewicz. (MA)
* Global variable cleanup, to fix daemon mode reinitialization problems. Patch
  by Sunil Shetye. (MA)

I seek everyone to test it out, report remaining bugs, update outdated
translations (send your translated .po files to the translation
project's robot, it'll forward your translation to the -devel list) or
send patches for documentation or report inconsistencies (including
formatting!) in the documentation.

The software is available from:
