Here are the release notes:

fetchmail-6.3.21 (released 2011-08-21, 26011 LoC):

# CRITICAL BUG FIX
* The IMAP client no longer inserts NUL bytes into the last line of a message
  when it is not closed with a LF or CRLF sequence. Reported by Antoine Levitt.
  As a side effect of the fix, and in order to avoid a full rewrite, fetchmail
  will now CRLF-terminate the last line fetched through IMAP, even if it is
  originally not terminated by LF or CRLF. This bears no relevance if your
  messages end up in mbox, but adds line termination for storages (like Maildir)
  that do not require that the last line be LF- or CRLF-terminated.

# CONTRIB/ addition
* There is a patch against fetchnews's source, contrib/rawlog.patch, that can
  log (and hexdump non-printing characters) raw socket data to a file. It proved
  useful to debug Antoine's bug described above.


By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.
