Log message:
Update to 4.1.0. From the changelog:

  -biggest change is multiple verbosity levels.  To support this from rc file,
  the verbose parameter had to change from a boolean to an integer.  Update
  your getmail rc files:  for quiet, set verbose to 0.  For more output,
  set it to 1 or 2.  2 includes info about messages not retrieved, etc.
  -add rc filename to error messages
  -change fix from 4.0.11 for email module raising exception during .flatten().
  Thanks:  Jürgen Nagel.
  -some types of SSL error could cause getmail to exit instead of
  continuing to the next mail account; fixed.  Thanks:  Matthias Andree.

Log message:
Update to 4.0.13. From the changelog:

  -unrecognized parameters could trigger a traceback instead of a warning.
  Fixed.  Thanks: Frankye Fattarelli.

Log message:
Update to 4.0.12. From the changelog:

  -forgot to add the new Message attribute (from 4.0.11) to its slots
  declaration.  Fixed.

Log message:
Eh, what the heck, I seem to be the maintainer.

Log message:
Update to 4.0.11. From the changelog:

  -change oldmail file writing to save a few bytes of disk space
  -documentation additions.
  -Python's standard library email.Message().flatten() could barf on certain
  types of badly mis-formatted messages (instead of the during instantiation,
  like the /other/ buggy cases).  Hope this is fixed in Python 2.4.  Developed
  a work-around for getmail.  Thanks:  Juergen Nagel.
  -changes to "normal" output of getmail to make it slightly less verbose.

Log message:
Update to 4.0.10. From the changelog:

  -cosmetic fix to output:  add whitespace after timestamp when not retrieving
  message.  Thanks: Matthias Andree.
  -include MANIFEST.in in source distribution, to assist users in building
  "built distributions" from it.
  -change a few output messages' level to make verbose mode slightly less
  verbose, and add --debug switch to get "more verbose" behaviour.

Log message:
Update to 4.0.9. From the changelog:

  -fix cosmetic error for IMAP mailboxes with 0 messages in them.
  -change method of obtaining uidvalidity from IMAP server and remove wrapper.
  -previously, connecting to an IMAP-SSL server could fail if a non-SSL
  IMAP connection were attempted immediately before.  This was due to
  the Python bug discussed here:
  \ 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=945642&group_id=5470&atid=305470
  Implemented a workaround for getmail.  Thanks: Payal Rathod.

Log message:
Update to 4.0.8. From the changelog:

4.0.7:
  -change failure of a message filter to produce at least as many mail headers
  as it was provided from a fatal to a non-fatal error.  The message will
  be skipped.  Thanks: Payal Rathod.
  -a few non-conformant IMAP4 servers don't implement SEARCH, so getmail
  couldn't get a list of UIDs.  Changed to use FETCH instead.
  Thanks: Matthias Andree.
  -prevent traceback if IMAP SSL connection closed during connect().
  Thanks: Payal Rathod.
  -add warning if unknown parameters are supplied to a retriever, filter,
  or destination.
  -write subclasses of Python imaplib classes to work around missing
  UIDVALIDITY select() response.  Add it to the state getmail keeps.
  Thanks:  Matthias Andree.
  -move message state saving to later, so getmail doesn't falsely remember
  having handled a message.  Thanks:  Matthias Andree.
  -change location of documentation/man pages to
  <prefix>/share/{doc/getmail,man}/ to be more comformant with the FHS.
  -documentation updates

4.0.8:
  -add an extra error message if you ask getmail to deliver to a maildir,
  but getmail can't check the contents of it due to permissions.
  Thanks: Clemens Buschmann.
  -fix breakage introduced in 4.0.7: getmail would forget a message was \ 
"seen"
  after a cycle of not retrieving it.  Thanks: Payal Rathod.

Log message:
Update to 4.0.6. From the changelog:

  -if the connection failed in a certain way, getmail could forget which
  messages it had already retrieved, and therefore retrieve them again when
  the next successful connection occurred.  Fixed.  Thanks: Wim Uyttebroek.
  --add win32 executable installer as third download option.

Log message:
Update to 4.0.5. From the changelog:

  -add additional error handler for certain network errors with POP3-over-SSL
  connections.  Thanks: Frank Benkstein.
  -rename retriever class for Demon UK:  it should have been SDPS; my
  transposition.  Thanks: Paul Howarth.
