[Fetchmail-devel] ANNOUNCE: The 6.5.0.beta5 snapshot of fetchmail is available (security fix for CVE-2021-36386)

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

Greetings,

The 6.5.0.beta5 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.5/>

The source archive has been uploaded and will shortly be available from:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.5/fetchmail-6.5.0.beta5.tar.xz/download>

This is a deep link to the GnuPG signature:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.5/fetchmail-6.5.0.beta5.tar.xz.asc/download>

This fixes a regression introduced with the security fix for 
CVE-2021-36386 that broke --logfile and generally could cause log 
message truncation, and merges Eric Durand's --idletimeout configuration 
feature.
