2021-04-10 * New alpha version 2.24.1Eduardo Chappa
2020-11-01 * When forwarding a message, replacing an attachment might make AlpineEduardo Chappa
re-attach the original attachment. Reported by Michael Traxler. The solution was that as soon as we recognize that the attachment has changed we delete its id, since Alpine recognizes an old attachment by the existence of an id field in the attachment structure.
2020-10-18 * Fixes to warnings given by gcc 10.Eduardo Chappa
2020-10-10 * New version 2.24Eduardo Chappa

2020-06-27 * New version 2.23.1Eduardo Chappa
2020-06-21 * Alpine will ding the terminal bell when asking about quittingEduardo Chappa
when new mail arrives. This is consistent with Alpine dinging the bell when new mail arrives. Bell will not ding if it is disabled for status messages. Suggested by Chime Hart.

2020-06-11 * Release of version 2.22.1Eduardo Chappa
2020-06-08 * Corrections to spelling errors, contributed by Jens Schleusener.Eduardo Chappa
2020-05-10 * Remove CC=cc from Makefiles under the imap/ directory. Also redefineEduardo Chappa
ARRC, as these are inherited from values set in the configure script, which in turn can be inherited from environment variables. This implies that to build c-client one needs to specify these variables, and since this is not being built as a stand-alone library anymore, we take these values from the configure script. Submitted by Robert Siebeck.
2020-05-09 * Several improvements to Alpine's support of XOAUTH2. In the case of Gmail,Eduardo Chappa
a text explaining the basic steps on how to configure fully Alpine with Gmail was added. In addition, some issues introduced while included OAUTHBEARER were also fixed.

2019-06-22 * New version 2.21.99999 (06/22/2019)Eduardo Chappa
2018-06-26 * When a message is of type multipart/mixed, and its first part isEduardo Chappa
multipart/signed, Alpine will include the text of the original message in a reply message, instead of including a multipart attachment. Suggested by Barry Landy.
2018-06-17 * new version 2.21.9999Eduardo Chappa
2018-02-26 * New version 2.21.999Eduardo Chappa
* rewrite of some code in pith/ical.c to make sure function prototypes are correct. * Add a separator line to the calendar entry in case, the calendar is sent as the main body of the message.
2017-12-04 * New version 2.21.99Eduardo Chappa
* The online repo does not mimic the root local directory from which it is created. This is an attempt to fix this. This caused the problem that kerberos was not working with the bytes on the repo, but it would work on the root which created it. Reported by Holger Trapp.

2016-11-21 * SMIME: Change the default signature digest from sha1 to sha-256,Eduardo Chappa
since clients such as Thunderbird do not validate signatures that use sha1 digest.
2016-11-18 * Remove limit of encoded words in the c-client library, since anyEduardo Chappa
limit makes a search eventually fail for a long enough encoded word.
2016-10-08 * new version 2.20.17Eduardo Chappa

passwords have been saved in it.
2016-09-13 * New version 2.20.16Eduardo Chappa

2016-08-28 * New version 2.20.15.Eduardo Chappa
2016-08-09 * Compilation fails in Debian Hardening, due to a printf call that isEduardo Chappa

2015-05-17 * new version 2.20.9.Eduardo Chappa
2015-05-01 * new version 2.20.8.Eduardo Chappa
* Make sure titlebar (the line at the top of the screen) always contains the name of the folder/newsgroup that is open, if this fits in the title. * Fix a bug in the Windows version in which width of characters in the width ambiguous zone was computed incorrectly. Reported by Ulf-Dietrich Braumann.
2015-04-23 * new version 2.20.7.Eduardo Chappa
* Fix documentation for search to beginning and to end of line, which had not been updated, even though the behavior had changed. * Exact search is sticky, that is, once an exact search is done, so will be the next ones. This is consistent with the default behavior where all searches are not exact. * Pico upgraded to versio 5.08. * some hunks of integrate.patch were added to this source code to make handling of menus consistent, and reduce the size of integrate.patch at the same time.
2015-04-03 * new version 2.20.6Eduardo Chappa
* SMIME: Cancelling entering password to unlock key will not reprompt. * Creating repo at repo.or.cz
2015-03-31 * new version 2.20.5Eduardo Chappa
* SMIME: Crash when a certificate has an invalid date of validity. Also Alpine will use the function ASN1_TIME_print to determine the date of validity. Reported by Ben Stienstra. * SMIME: Crash when atempting to unlock the password file and an incorrect password is entered. * Alpine version 2.20.4 would not build in Windows, due to a missing #ifdef SMIME directive in file alpine/mailpart.c. Reported by Ulf-Dietrich Braunmann. * Pico: Code reorganization in the search command to make it easier to add subcommands of the search command. * Pico: Search command can do a case sensitive match. Use the Ctrl-^ subcommand of the search command to bring this choice into view. * For a multipart/alternative message, the Take Address command will work on the part that is being read.
2015-03-25 * new version 2.20.4Eduardo Chappa
* If the charset of a message can not be determined, use the value set in the "Unknown Character Set" option. * Resizing setup screen will redraw screen. * Unix Alpine only. Experimental: If Alpine/Pico finds a UCS4 code in the width ambiguous zone, it will use other means to determine the width, such as call wcwidth.
2015-02-28 * new version 2.20.2Eduardo Chappa
* Further enhancement to the configure script in finding the location of the SSL include and library files, when they are installed in th e default location by openssl. * When Alpine sends an attachment, it will set the boundary attribute in lower case, as some SMTP servers, such as those of libero.it reject messages if the boundary attribute is in uppercase. * Alpine fails to remove temporary files used during a display or sending filter. Fix contributed by Phil Brooke. * SMIME: Crash when checking the signature of a message that contains a RFC822 attached message. Reported by Holger Trapp and Bjorn Krellner.
