[Fetchmail-devel] ANNOUNCE: fetchmail 6.4.6 is now available (translation update for Esperanto)

[Matthias A. <mat...@gm...>]

Greetings,

The 6.4.6 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fetchmail/branch_6.4/>.

This fixes a regression on older operating systems that can print this error:
fetchmail: Cannot find absolute path for user's home directory

== NOTE ==
I intend this to be the last 6.4.x version with functional changes, and new
6.4.x are not planned, except if regressions, critical fixes, or new
translations or important documentation fixes appear and 6.5.0 is too far out.

Fetchmail 6.4.x is the last branch that will tolerate OpenSSL 1.0.2 and C89
compilers, and support Python 2.7.x (for newer x) for fetchmailconf.

== EXCURSION ---------
The direction for the near future is to do some bugfixing and possibly minor
features on the Git branch 'legacy_6x', for now called 6.5.0.dev*, it is a
branch that will require newer operating systems, toolchains, library, for
instance, OpenSSL 1.1.1 with TLSv1.3 support, C99 (for long long support) or
possibly C11 (TBD) and possibly newer IEEE Std 1003.1 compliance.
== END EXCURSION -----
