6 August 2009 -add "message_log_verbose" option, defaulting to false. If true, the message_log file (and syslog, if used) will contain a little more information than the default of just messages retrieved. Thanks: Matthias Andree, Gregory Morozov.
4.9.2
15 July 2009 -use tempfile module function instead of os.tmpfile() so getmail obeys TMPDIR and similar environment variables. Thanks: Stefan Bähring. -fix encoding of CHANGELOG to utf-8.
4.9.1
1 June 2009
-if oldmail file is corrupted on disk (by system crash, perhaps), handle it gracefully. Some lines may be lost (and messages therefore re-retrieved), but operation will continue, with the corrupt lines logged. Thanks: Domen Puncer.
4.9.0
5 April 2009
-add Kerberos authentication support to IMAP retriever classes. Thanks: Guido Günther, Uli M. -clarify documentation regarding MDA_external. Thanks: AJ Weber. -eliminate deprecation warning for sets module with Python 2.6 by using a compatibility wrapper module.
4.8.4
26 September 2008
-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. Thanks: Domen Puncer.
4.8.3
11 August 2008
-Improve information sent to logfile about messages not retrieved. Thanks: Scott.
