• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description moesasji 2007-10-15 21:58:47 UTC]

Current stable version for getmail is getmail-4.7.2 (dates from february 2007). Four more recent versions of getmail are in ~, but none have been stabilized. The latest version getmail-4.7.6 has been added to ~ on the 9th of August and has no bugs reported during the last two months. Please stabilize getmail-4.7.6 as the updates seem to be minor bugfixes only:

============================================

============================================
Version 4.7.6
8 August 2007

  -fix exception when getmail is trying to report a POP3 server that
  completely missed generating a UIDL token for a message.
  Thanks: Hans Lammerts.

Version 4.7.5

  configurations).  Thanks: Scott Hepler.

  -explicitly watch for broken POP3 servers that return a blank UIDL value
  (not permitted by the POP3 protocol) and print a fatal error message.

  -fix wrong bytecount displayed in summary at end of run.  Thanks: Andreas
  Jung.
