Here are the release notes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchmail-6.4.13 (work in progress):

# BUG FIXES:
* Errors about lock file (= pidfile) creation could be lost in daemon 
  configurations (-d option, or set daemon) when using syslog. Now they are also 
  logged to syslog.  Found verifying a pidfile creation issue on 6.4.12 that was 
  previously reported by Alex Hall of Automatic Distributors.
* If the lock file cannot be removed (no write permission on directory), try
  to truncate it, and if that fails, report error.
* If the pidfile was non-default, fetchmail -q or --quit would malfunction and
  claim no other fetchmail were running, because it did not read the 
  configuration files or merge the command line options, thus it would look for 
  the PID in the wrong file.

# CHANGES:
* Lockfile (= pidfile) creation errors are now logged with filename and reason.

# TRANSLATION UPDATES were made by these fine people (German was also updated):
* cs:    Petr Pisar [Czech]
* ja:    Takeshi Hamasaki [Japanese]
