- remove socket setblocking() calls which should be no longer needed,
and which may have caused hangups. Thanks: Viacheslav Chimishuk.
- correct version number string in error message. Thanks: Piet
van Oostrum.
- experimental: when SSL SNI support is present in the underlying Python
(and OpenSSL), send SNI by default in the SSL setup. This should work
around Gmail's brokenness with TLSv.1.3 connections when SNI is not sent.
- when users specify an SSL version that no longer exists in the Python
ssl module, do not result in an unhandled exception. Thanks: "nandre".
- catch IMAP UNAVAILABLE temporary error during login. Thanks:
Dario Corti.
- feature request: added record_mailbox configuration parameter, to
allow turning off the header getmail adds with this information.
Thanks: Daniel Kahn Gillmor, Osamu Aoki, Josh Triplett.
- bugfix: if password_command parameter was used with a non-existent program,
getmail would error out during the handling of that condition and not report
the problem correctly.
- new release numbering scheme; previous version numbers were just getting
too high.
- catch and ignore/exit cleanly after reset connection in IMAP IDLE mode.
Thanks: Stephan Schulz.
- allow specifying an expected SSL certificate hostname, for when the
server's certificate does not match the domain name used to connect to
it. Thanks: "Andre".
- fix error message not actually giving the header field name incorrectly
specified as containing the envelope recipient address. Thanks: Hardy
Braunsdorf.
- add new password_command configuration parameter for retrievers, allowing
getmail to retrieve the account password from any arbitrary external
command. Suggestion: "ng0".
- fix plaintext version of docs not generated correctly. Thanks: Elijah.
- fix `getmail --fingerprint` not logging server TLS fingerprint
correctly with SimplePOP3SSLRetriever. Thanks: Gabriel Kihlman.
- add `ignore_header_shrinkage` parameter to Filter_external for users
who know it is normal for their particular filter to result in a
smaller message header than the source message, for example when the
filter encapsulates the original message in a simpler wrapper message.
Thanks: "RW", Tristan Miller, Francesco Ariis.
- EXPERIMENTAL: when deleting a message from an IMAP mailbox, set the
\Seen flag in addition to the the \Deleted flag. This apparently
prevents the ever-innovatively-broken MSExchange from sending a
spurious incorrect disposition-notification message to the sender of
the message. I do not know if this will cause problems with other
broken IMAP server implementations; please send a report to the getmail-
user's mailing list if you see odd behaviour with this change. Thanks:
John Hein.
- enable socket timeouts for IMAP SSL classes by default. They were
disabled in the code because they were incompatible with SSL in older
versions of Python. If you see problems with Python 2.6 or 2.7 now,
please let me know.
- make IMAP class only issue EXPUNGE command on mailbox close if we have
actually deleted any messages from the open mailbox. Makes use of read-
only IMAP folders possible. Thanks: Zoltan Padrah.
- work around brain-damaged change in Python's poplib which causes
message retrieval errors if any line of a message has more than
2048 characters in it.
- restore link to moved Marc mailing list archive. Thanks: David
J. Weller-Fahy.
- try to work around pathological breakage in one random POP server
implementation. Thanks: Michael Thomas Kockmeyer.
- remove dead marc.theaimsgroup.com list archive from docs. Thanks:
Miroslav Rovis.
- bugfix: if you combined IMAP IDLE mode with delete_after, getmail would,
after remaining connected to the server for the number of days
configured, begin deleting messages immediately after retrieval
instead of after the configured delay. Now fixed. Thanks:
Johannes Weißl.
- fix --idle checking Python version incorrectly, resulting in
incorrect warning about running with Python < 2.5. Thanks: "Voytek",
Krzysztof Warzecha.
- add missing support for SSL certificate checking in POP3 which
broke POP retrieval in v4.45.0. Requires Python 2.6 or newer.
Thanks: "mancha".
- perform hostname-vs-certificate matching of SSL certificate if
validating the certifcate. Thanks: "mancha".
- fix missing plaintext versions of documentation.
Updating this leaf package during the freeze for the security fix.
- add extended SSL options for IMAP retrievers, allowing certificate
verification and other features. Thanks: Steven Murdoch.
- fix missing plaintext versions of documentation. Thanks: Osamu Aoki.
- fix "Header instance has no attribute 'strip'" error which cropped
up in some configurations. Thanks: Krzysztof Warzecha.
Updating this leaf package during the freeze for security improvements
and bugfixes.
either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
- messages retrieved with POP could have a blank trailing line
removed when delivered; fixed. Thanks: Christoph Mitterer, Krzysztof
Warzecha.
- fix an ImportError when IMAP retriever used with getmail under
Python 2.4.
- increase system recursion limit when run with Python 2.3, to
prevent recursion errors in parsing some pathologically complex
MIME emails. Thanks: Kenneth Pronovici.
- again change protocol codes passed to OSX, as they're not only
reserved codes, but also case-sensitive. Use the ones an OSX user
reports work properly. Thanks: Tim Gray.
- convert SIGTERM to SIGINT so getmail can cleanup and exit normally
if killed with a default signal. Thanks: Carl Lei.
- fix change which resulted in passing full protocol name to OSX
keyring program, which can't handle it (restricted to 4-character
code). Thanks: Tim Gray.
- fix a bug that could crop up when retrieving mail via IMAP from
Gmail, and the Gmail servers provided weird data in their header
extensions. Thanks: Krzysztof Warzecha.
- fix retrieving mail from an IMAP mailbox with non-ASCII characters
in its name causing difficult-to-understand unicode errors during
delivery. Thanks: "fsLeg", Krzysztof Warzech.
