2014-05-17 * New version 2.19.999Eduardo Chappa
* Introduce the option "Validate Using Certificate Store Only", and make it the default. This will make Alpine check for the validity of signatures in certificates that a user has installed in their system, and not in the certificates that come with the message. A user can override this, although is not recommended, by disabling this feature. * When viewing a signed message, the ^E command would present an empty screen or Alpine would crash because when Alpine would get the PKCS7 body of the message from body->sparep, it would not decode it properly due to the new way in which the sparep pointer is encoded that was introduced in version 2.19.991. * When a signed message is forwarded, the message might not be filtered correctly, and mime information might make it into the body of the forwarded message. In order to produce this, the message must be forwarded from the index screen and not be opened. The reason why this makes a difference is because opening a signed message changes its body structure. The reason why a person could forward a message before reading it is because the person could already be aware of the content of the message (e.g. the message is in the sent-mail folder). * When a message fails to validate and the body is saved from the server for validation, be careful in the way that body part pointers are set, in order to do this we split the mail_body function into two parts, one that gets the body, the other that gets the section of the body. The new function that gets the section of the body (mail_body_section), is used to assign pointers of the reconstructed new body. * When a container has not been defined, transferring messages to a container will succeed, and the name of the container will be written on screen. * When Alpine is receiving the envelopes from an imap server, it attempts to generate the index line immediately; while doing so it might need to compute a score, and for this, it might need to go back and do some operation in the same imap server. In this case, Alpine will crash with a "lock when already locked" message. In order to avoid this crash, a new check in match_pattern was added to Alpine to avoid the second trip to a server that is busy sending us envelopes. Reported by Peter Koellner. * Update copyright notice in mswin.rc and pmapi.rc, as well as first time user notice and special request notice. * Alpine cannot handle correctly some characters in the Windows-1256 character set, which might lead to a crash or a corruption in the screen. Work was done to contain the bug. A more complete fix will be done in a future release. Reported by Professor Robert Funnell. * Decode the name of attachment names, so they can be written as part of the description of the part. * When transferring certificates to a local container, create container with default names PublicContainer, PrivateContainer and CAContainer, as appropriate for these files, unless the user has provided some other names.
2014-05-02 * Create help for explaining how encrypted password file supportEduardo Chappa
works. * When a message is sent encrypted, add the sender certificate so that the sender can decrypt it too. * When a message is signed and encrypted, first sign it and then encrypt it. This changes the usual order of encrypting and then signing, and it has the shortcoming of making bigger messages. However, this is the way that most clients work with S/MIME, and so for compatibility with other programs, we will send signed, then encrypted, instead of encrypted, then signed. Hmm... should we sign the encrypted part? * Avoid the first RSET smtp command, as this causes delays in some evily managed servers.
2014-04-25 * new version 2.19.991Eduardo Chappa
2014-04-25 * When downloading a signed message, and processing it, we useEduardo Chappa
body->nested.part instead of b->nested.part in the do_detached_signature_verify function, and save its body and mime headers in create_local_cache. Now all signed messages should verify correctly. * Protect against potential crash bug in write_passfile function by checking if text != NULL. text can only be null if there are no passwords to save. We assume we could get write_passfile called with null arguments, so this is just to protect that. * Add handling of corner cases to several functions by initializing some variables. Reported and patched by James Jerkins. * When selecting the certificate/key pair to encrypt/decrypt the password file choose it in this order: - if -pwdcertdir is given look for certificates there, if nothing there, we bail out; - otherwise we look in the default directory, if anything there and it matches to be a key/cert pair, we use it; - otherwise we check if smime_init() has been called. If not we call it; - we check if a key/cert pair has been found with smime initialized, if so, use it and copy it to the default directory; - if not, check if there is anything in the default smime directories (.alpine-smime/private and .alpine-smime/public), and in this case copy it to the default. - otherwise we bail. We will eventually create a certificate/key pair for the user; - finally, if we called smime_init(), we call smime_deinit(). Throughout this process, if smime_init() was not called before we tried to get the cert/key pair we exit this process without ps_global->smime->inited set, so that other process that need to call smime_init() get the right structure initialized. This is done because we might pick a cert/key pair to decrypt the password file.
2014-04-21 * Update to version 2.19.99.Eduardo Chappa
2014-04-21 * S/MIME: validation of signed messages in servers that modifyEduardo Chappa
content that is needed for validation.
2014-04-19 * New version 2.19.12Eduardo Chappa
2014-04-18 * Set default ssl configuration for Homebrew in MAC OSX toEduardo Chappa
/usr/local/etc/openssl, under the advice of Sam Hathaway. * Add management certificate support for containers. * Fix crashing bugs introduced in version 2.19.9, which did not allow alpine to start with the -passfile and use a remote pinerc. Reported by Ulf-Dietrich Braumann. * fix a bug which was introduced in version 2.19.9, where Alpine would free a certificate associated to a key after encryption, and so this could not be used during decryption. We use X509_dup to copy the cert and so make the copy be freed, and not the original. * S/MIME: sign messages using intermediate certificates when needed and possible.
2014-04-09 * Update to version 2.19.11Eduardo Chappa
2014-04-09 * patch by Sam Hathaway to make web alpine build when debug is turnedEduardo Chappa
off. * Fix compilation bug that made build fail if passfile was not defined.
2014-04-08 * Fixes bug in 2.19.8 that would make Alpine fail to build in Windows.Eduardo Chappa
* S/MIME configuration screen would deinitialize smime, not allowing it to send encrypted or signed messages. * Add documentation for /loser option in definition of external servers. * crashing bug in certificate management screen due to a BIO_free() call of memory that had not been allocated. * When the password file is decrypted, smime is inited. If smime is inited before the .pinerc is read, some values might not be correctly set. * When a password file exists, and S/MIME is enabled, encrypt it by either using an existing key/certificate pair. The key is saved separately in ~/.alpine-smime/.pwd, or in the directory specified by the -pwdcertdir command line option.
2014-03-10 * Bump version to 2.19.9.Eduardo Chappa
* Fix windows strings to match version.
2014-03-09 * resetting the version to 2.19.8Eduardo Chappa
2014-03-09 to be undoneEduardo Chappa
2014-03-09 * Forwarding messages with attachments of content-type multipart,Eduardo Chappa
failed when attempting to sign it, with and "Error writing pipe" error. * Using a .pinerc file outside the home directory made Alpine not find the .alpine-smime directory with certificates. * Configuration screen for S/MIME adds ability to manage certificates. (currently available to users who manage certificates in directories, not in containers, which will be available in the next alpha release.)
2014-02-20 * New version 2.19.8Eduardo Chappa
* Forwarding messages with attachments of content-type multipart, failed when attempting to signed it, with and "Error writing pipe" error.
2014-02-17 * Encrypted and signed messages sent by Thunderbird did not validate.Eduardo Chappa
2014-02-15 * Fixes to documentation to update old washington.edu/alpine siteEduardo Chappa
for patches.freeiz.com/alpine/. Work in progress. * prototype function tigetstr in pico/osdep/terminal.c * folders encoded in modified utf7 are transformed their names to a human readable utf8. * New attempt to fix smime support in Alpine. Messages sent by alpine with or without attachments should validate in all servers and in all folder formats.
2014-02-09 * Update to version 2.19.6Eduardo Chappa
* Fixes to documentation to update old washington.edu/alpine site for patches.freeiz.com/alpine/

* Add backward search support for Pico and file browser. * Style tag in html body causes all text to disappear until we find a </style> tag. * Shorten name of temporary file for a mailcap command.
2014-02-02 * Update to version 2.19.5Eduardo Chappa
* check bounds and tie strings off to improve security. Contributed by James Jerkins. * Alpine crashed when a user attempted to add a folder collection, due to bug in GET_NAMESPACE in imap4r1.c.
2013-12-27 * new address alpine-count@patches.freeiz.com for counting users ofEduardo Chappa
Alpine. * When writing the .pinerc file, lines could not be longer than 10,000 characters, or else this caused corruption in the .pinerc data. Now they are allowed to be of any size. * Fix a problem that made Alpine remove files before they were open by the viewer. It requires that the user has an equivalent to a command such as "ps auxww" to list the list of processes. The default is "/bin/ps auxww", but it can be changed at compile time with the option --with-ps-cmd. * Remove -lregex from linker flags when building --with-supplied-regex. * Fix _INIT_ token for reply quote string to include support for 8-bit in personal names.
2013-11-18 * Update to version 2.19.3Eduardo Chappa
* Alpine computes the signature of a signed message on a different message than the one it sends, because of this, messages that are sent can not be validated either in the sent-mail folder, nor in the server that receives such message.
2013-11-16 * correct minor spellingEduardo Chappa
2013-11-16 * Crash when tcp connection to NNTP server was lost after connectionEduardo Chappa

2013-11-02 * Update to version 2.19.1Eduardo Chappa
* Upgrade UW-IMAP to Panda IMAP from https://github.com/jonabbey/panda-imap. * Replace tabs by spaces in From and Subject fields to control for size in screen of these fields. Change only in index screen display.
2013-10-16 * Fix to UID EXPUNGE support for newsgroups. count_flagged erasesEduardo Chappa
the sequence bit, so we reinstate it by calling mail_sequence on the sequence parameter to the msgno_exclude_* function. No bump in version yet.
2013-10-13 * Fixes in Pico so that it will crash in big files, instead of loopingEduardo Chappa
forever. Todo: see how this can be improved. * Add support for UID EXPUNGE in selected folders.
2013-10-06 * new version 2.11.8Eduardo Chappa
* Fix in configure script for recognition of SSL files in Ubuntu 12.04 * Alpine does not attempt to automatically reopen a collection that was not opened due to cancellation by the user. Instead, the user must try to open it explicitly. * few improvements on new /tls1, /tls1_1, etc. options.
2013-09-21 * Version 2.11.6Eduardo Chappa
* Add /tls1, /tls1_1, /tls1_2 and /dtls1 to the definition of a server to use different ways to connect using ssl, for example {server.com/tls1} will attempt to connect to server.com at the ssl imap port (port 993) and establish a connection using TLSv1. These flags can be used in conjunction with the /ssl flag, the ssl flag is redundant. Conversely, however, the /ssl flag does not imply any of these flags; the /ssl flag means SSLv3 or, if not available, SSLv2 in the SSL port. * WebAlpine: add _GNU_SOURCE to make pubcookie build. * On my way to make 'make dist' and 'make distcheck' actually work.
2013-09-15 * I had copied some code incorrectly in the fix for the issue aboutEduardo Chappa
transformation of dates in locales to utf-8, this made the fix worse than then problem. Now it got fixed. This was reported by Werner Scheinast.
2013-09-12 * Save command did not warn of existence of a message with a deletedEduardo Chappa
attachment in an aggregate save, unless cursor was positioned on a message with a deleted attachment. Reported by Florian Herzig. * Rewrite of configure script: ldap is checked for after ssl, which is checked after crypto, which is checked for after dl library. Set defaults for include and lib directories based on SSLDIR. Joint work with Florian Herzig. * Update contact information (remove alpine-contact@u.washington.edu and add chappa@gmx.com)
2013-09-05 * Experimental: Write the content-type of a message in lowercase, as someEduardo Chappa
non-compliant servers do not understand uppercase content-type, such as those of GMX.de. * Transformation of UTF-8 to MUTF7 was not being done when creating a folder in an IMAP server.
2013-08-31 * increase scope of fix on non conversion of date string from localeEduardo Chappa
to utf-8, to include days and months.
2013-08-31 * DATE tokens were not internally transformed to UTF-8, which made theirEduardo Chappa
values appear garbled or incomplete in the screen. Reported by Werner Scheinast. * Quoted string in URL Viewers configuration variable were not unquoted before passing to viewer.
2013-08-28 * Tune for help formatting in pine.hlpEduardo Chappa
* Pico: Justification works without need to define a quote string, it allows justification of blocks indented with spaces.
2013-08-19 * Automatically redraw screen after opening an attachment instead ofEduardo Chappa
simply clearing it.
2013-08-18 * Opening a folder updates recent count in maildrops.Eduardo Chappa
* Fixes to configure script so that it will not require PAM for every system. * Fix to configure script so that it will use CPPFLAGS instead of CPPCFLAGS, and so the --with-ssl-include-dir option take effect during the build. Fix by Ulf-Dietrich Braumann. * Fix in WebAlpine: do not use deprecated dereference in pointer, needs to use tcl_getstringresult() instead. Reported by Ulf-Dietrich Braumann. * Fix in configure script to detect location of tcl library; add /usr/local in FreeBSD and fix a bug in configure script that used $alpine_TCLINC instead of $alpine_TCLINC/tcl.h. Reported and fixed by Werner Scheinast. * Move SSL configurations from UW-IMAP to configure script.
2013-08-11 * reverse backward search momemtarily, it will be released as patch,Eduardo Chappa

2013-07-10 * Change to configure to not to build Web Alpine if tcl.h is not found by theEduardo Chappa
configure script.
2013-07-09 * Improvements in justification: Quoted lines that are followed by aEduardo Chappa
