Greetings,

I am announcing the release of fetchmail 6.3.12.  This new stable
version of fetchmail fixes a crash when 6.3.11 is run on SSL servers
without --verbose mode, and other bugs, and it updates translations.
See below for details.

The software is available from:
<http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1824>

The fetchmail home pages are:
<http://www.fetchmail.info/>  or  <http://fetchmail.berlios.de/>

These are the relevant changes in 6.3.12 since the previous release.
Unless otherwise noted, changes to this release were made by Matthias Andree:

# REGRESSION FIXES
* The CVS-2009-2666 fix in fetchmail release 6.3.11 caused a free() of
  unallocated memory on SSL connections, which caused crashes or program aborts
  on some systems (depending on how initialization and free() of unallocated
  memory is handled in compiler and libc).
  Workaround for older versions: run in verbose mode.
  Patch courtesy of Thomas Heinz, fixes Gentoo Bug #280760.
  This regression affected only the 6.3.11 release, but not the patch that was
  part of the security announcement fetchmail-SA-2009-01.

# BUG FIXES
* Fix error reporting for GSSAPI on Heimdal (h5l) Kerberos.
* Look for MD5_Init in libcrypto rather than libssl, fixes Gentoo Kerberos
  builds; fixes upstream parts of Gentoo Bugs #231400 and #185652, and fixes
  BerliOS Bug #16134.
* Report multiline SMTP errors properly, reported by Earl Chew; fixes Debian Bug
  #569899, reported by Akihiro Terasaki.
* Replace control characters in SMTP replies by '?'.
* Fetchmailconf: Fix descriptions for smtpaddress and smtpname options;
  smtpaddress is for RCPT TO, not MAIL FROM. Found by Gerard Seibert.

# TRANSLATION UPDATES AND ADDITIONS (ordered by language name):
* [ca]    Catalan (Ernest Adrogué Calveras)
* [zh_CN] Chinese/Simplified (Ji ZhengYu)
* [cs]    Czech (Petr Pisar)
* [ja]    Japanese (Takeshi Hamasaki)
* [pl]    Polish (Jakub Bogusz)
* [es]    Spanish/Castilian (Francisco Molinero)
* [vi]    Vietnamese (Clytie Siddall)
