Greetings,

After several more bugs had to be fixed, I have uploaded the fifth
fetchmail 6.3.6 release candidate to the usual download location:
<http://home.pages.de/~mandree/fetchmail/> - this should become the
final 6.3.6 release soon.

It fixes the --sslcert vs. --user regression seen in 6.3.5,
it fixes the long-standing "doesn't detect /etc/resolv.conf changes"
issue that broke DNS resolving on so many systems, makes IMAP IDLE
handling more robust vs. server timeouts and adds a few other minor
changes - see the next section for details.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
fetchmail 6.3.6-rc5 changes (versus -rc4) are:

# REGRESSION FIX:
* In 6.3.5 (as a side effect of the authenticate external patch), using SSL
  certificate/key authentication overrode the --user option. Now the latter
  takes precedence, and only defaults to the certificate's common name.
  Debian Bug #400950, reported by Jorgen Schaefer <fo...@de...>.

# BUG FIXES:
* On systems that have res_search(), assume we also have res_init() and call it
  (suggested by Ulrich Drepper, glibc bug #3675) in order to make libc or
  libresolv reread the resolver configuration at the beginning of a poll cycle.
  This is important when fetchmail is in daemon mode and /etc/resolv.conf is
  changed later by dhcpcd, dhclient, pppd, openvpn or other ip-up/ipchange
  scripts.  Should fix Debian Bug#389270, Bug#391698.
* Fix crash on systems that do not provide strdup(), the crash then happens in
  out-of-memory conditions.  Patch by Andreas Krennmair.

# CHANGES:
* Remove excess no-op strcpy() after strdup() found by Andreas Krennmair.
* Remove handling for PS_TRUNCATED (code 27), which was never asserted.
* Improve handling of IMAP IDLE, some servers do not reset their time counters
  after sending information asynchronously. Patch by Sunil Shetye, after report
  from Andrew Baumann.
* When requesting Kerberos V4, V5 or GSSAPI, complain and exit with syntax error
  if any of these requested features has not been compiled in. Reported by Isaac
  Wilcox.
* --version will now add +KRB4 or +KRB5 if Kerberos v4 or v5, respectively, have
  been compiled in. Reported by Isaac Wilcox.

# DOCUMENTATION:
* Dropped exit status 15 from manual page, it's not used by fetchmail.
  Reported by Isaac Wilcox.
* Documented exit codes 24 - 29 as internal.
