Greetings,

The 6.4.23 release of fetchmail is now available at 
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>.

It updates the Japanese and Serbian translations and improves an error 
message around STARTTLS with IMAP --auth ssh and --plugin.

Note the tarball was re-rolled to include the German translation update,
missed in the first upload.

and you may want to review COPYING.

Here are the release notes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchmail-6.4.23 (released 2021-10-31, 30206 LoC):

# USABILITY:
* For common ssh-based IMAP PREAUTH setups (i. e. those that use a plugin
  - no matter its contents - and that set auth ssh), change the STARTTLS 
  error message to suggest sslproto '' instead.
  This is a commonly reported issue after the CVE-2021-39272 fix in 6.4.22.
  Fixes Redhat Bugzilla 2008160. Fixes GitLab #39.

# TRANSLATIONS: language translations were updated by these fine people:
* ja:    Takeshi Hamasaki [Japanese]
* sr:	 Мирослав Николић (Miroslav Nikolić) [Serbian]

Happy fetches,
