Changelog

The home page describes 6.2.0 as "gold" version, and 6.2.5 as "leading-edge". Normally due to the associated risk and limited labor I am guessing that we would avoid the risks and wait until the next "gold" version. However ESR is here, who seems to know something about fetchmail. =)


Eric what is your recommendation?

Mind if we automatically CC you on reported fetchmail bugs in Bugzilla?
