[mpop-users] mpop 1.2.0 is released

[Martin Lambers <marlam@...1...>]

Hi everyone,

mpop 1.2.0 is released!

This is the new stable release. The 1.0.x series is put to rest after
7.5 years. But do not worry: 1.2.0 is fully compatible with 1.0.x.

Noteworthy changes since 1.0.29:

- Support for SOCKS proxies was added. This allows mpop to be used with
  Tor.
- GNOME Keyring support now uses libsecret instead of libgnome-keyring.
  Consequently, secret-tool can be used to manage passwords for mpop;
  the obsolete mpop-gnome-tool script is removed.
- Libidn is not required for IDN support anymore on systems where
  getaddrinfo() supports the AI_IDN flag and the GnuTLS version is
  >= 3.4.0.
- SSLv3 is disabled.
- The GSSAPI authentication method is not chosen automatically anymore,
  you have to request it manually if you want it.
- Configuration file permissions are now only checked if the file
  actually contains secrets such as passwords. (If you still store
  passwords in the configuration file, consider using a key ring or the
  the passwordeval command instead.)
- The documentation was updated and improved.

Enjoy!

Martin
