[Fetchmail-devel] ANNOUNCE: fetchmail 6.4.10 is now available (new translation for Romanian, courtesy of Florentina Mușat)

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

Greetings,

The 6.4.10 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fetchmail/branch_6.4/>.

== 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 -----

Here are the release notes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchmail-6.4.10 (released 2020-08-27, 27596 LoC):

# REGRESSION FIX:
* configure: fetchmail 6.4.9's configure was unable to pick up OpenSSL
  if it wasn't announced by pkg-config, for instance, on FreeBSD.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchmail-6.4.9: (not announced by e-mail, withdrawn)

## DOCUMENTATION UPDATE:
* manpage: mention that the SSL/TLS certificate fingerprint uses an MD5 hash.

## CHANGES:
* configure: try to use AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS to obtain proper link flags for 
  libcrypto and libssl if pkg-config failed.
  This is an attempt to fix borderline issues when users building on systems 
  with obsolete OpenSSL try to use a local newer OpenSSL from a separate 
  directory.

## NEW TRANSLATION, with thanks to the translator:
* ro:    Florentina Mușat [Romanian]

Happy fetches,
