New in getmail 4.18.0 (Jun 29, 2010)
- update broken link in FAQ. Thanks: Stefan Kangas.
- strip a few extra problematic (on non-Unix systems) characters when generating oldmail filenames; backslash was requested by Andy Ross. If upgrading and your current oldmail file contains any of these characters: \ ; < > | ... then rename it, replacing runs of one or more of those characters with a single "-".
- improve clarity of message logged by getmail when an external program exits 0 but getmail considers it failed because it wrote to stderr.
New in getmail 4.17.0 (May 3, 2010)
- change to how getmail counts messages in an IMAP mailbox;
- prevents problems where getmail would only see the first 500 messages in a mailbox with some IMAP servers that return oddball responses to SELECT.
New in getmail 4.16.0 (Jan 29, 2010)
- additional fix for IMAP server that offers a message it then fails to return, to allow getmail to continue with the next message. Thanks: Yaw Anokwa.
New in getmail 4.8.4 (Jan 15, 2009)
- Add missing fsync() in updatefile close method to ensure data actually hits disk before the rename takes place, to make writing of the oldmail file more resilient to system crashes.
