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.
2017-12-02 * Update documentation to reflect that there was a change in theEduardo Chappa
main website of distribution of Alpine.

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.
2016-10-22 * Color support for the default composer and Pico. If users haveEduardo Chappa
configured colors to read messages in Alpine, the same colors will be used in the default composer. In the case of Pico, read the manual to understand how to configure this new feature.

* Move manual pages to a "man1" directory.
2015-07-24 * new version 2.20.9.Eduardo Chappa
* Add command line argument -smimedir, which allows to specify the default path for a directory that contains the public, private, and ca directories. This is useful in case a user has a backup of old certificates that cannot be installed in the ~/.alpine-smime dir. * Update to alpine man page to include documentation on missing command line options such as -nowrite_password_cache, -passfile, -pwdcertdir, and -smimedir. * Various changes in the code to quell some compiler issued warnings in Mac OSX. Reported by Joe St Sauver. This includes the removing deprecated ldap functions from the code and the test in the configure script. The switch to not deprecated functions is done by the use of the belvar structure, which is not completely appropriate for what we are doing, but it is sufficient for our needs. The berval structure is more appropriate for binary data, but it works well with string data, which is what we need. * Various changes in the code to quell some warnings issued by clang 3.5.
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.
2015-03-15 * new version 2.20.3Eduardo Chappa
* SMIME: If a message contains a RFC822 atachment that is signed/decrypted add the ability to view its SMIME information. * SMIME: The ^E command that gives information on the certificate is only available for messages that have a signed or encrypted part. * Fix vulnerability in regex library. This only affects those who use this library, such as the windows version of Alpine. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/695940. * HTML: Add support for decoding entities in hexadecimal notation. Suggested by Tulipánt Gergely. * Pico: Add the ability to search for strings in the beginning or end of a line. In the search menu, pressing Ctrl-^ toggles the prompt to search for a string at the beginning of a line. Another press of Ctrl-^ toggles the prompt to search for a string at the end of a line, and pressing Ctrl-^ one more time searches for the string anywhere in the text.
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.
2015-01-25 * new version 2.20.1Eduardo Chappa
* Ignore message from smtp server after a successful authentication challenge. * Alpine would not set include and lib paths for OpenSSL if this was installed in /usr/local/ssl. * If the .pinerc file is a symbolic link, Alpine might not write its contents when saving its configuration. * The _INIT_ token does not skip over non-alpha numeric characters in the name. Reported by Andreas Fehr. * If SSLDIR is defined somehow, do not disable S/MIME if the SSLCERTSDIR is not found. * Mismatch in size of UCS and CELL caused a corruption in the content of a pointer, which made the speller in PC-Alpine get the content of a word incorrectly. * Update splash screen to version 2.20 in main repository. * Skip testing openssl compatibility version when cross-compilation is detected. Fix contributed by Antti Seppälä.
2015-01-07 * new version 2.19.9999Eduardo Chappa
* crash on importing certificates that do not have an email address associated to them, such as those of a Certificate Authority. * Disable saving new passwords to the password file. Implemented by Louis Raphael from dpslabs.com. * Panda IMAP does not decode correctly Korean text encoded in UTF-8. Reported by Chulho Yang.
2014-12-07 * new version 2.19.9993Eduardo Chappa
* Aggregate operations allows bouncing a list of messages using a role. Suggested by Ulf-Dietrich Braumann. * Compilation error of module pith/reply.c if SMIME is not defined (as in Windows Alpine). There was a misplaced parenthesis. * Update to S/MIME to explain how to use a PKCS12 certificate in Alpine. * Fix error in compare_certs function, that would modify the name of the certificates after sorting them, and return when no certificates are given. * When replying to several messages, subject will be decoded first, and then stripped from re/fwd before they are compared to determine the subject of the replied message. * Add $(LIBINTL) to the flags to link rpdump, rpload, alpined and alpineldap because MAC OSX 10.8 x86_64 needs it. * When the download of an attachment is interrumpted, Alpine stills caches what was downloaded, making the download incomplete for subsequent calls of Alpine attempting to open the attachment. In the future, Alpine will not cache any downloaded part of the attachment when it is interrupted.
2014-06-20 * new version 2.19.9992Eduardo Chappa
* Alpine would not parse options from the command line, such as -patterns-filters2, correctly. * Add /usr/local/include as a path to find include and libs files for openssl in FreeBSD. * Management certificate screen now prints, in addition to the e-mail address of the owner of the certificates, the dates of validity and the MD5 hash of such certificates. * crash when processing message/rfc822 attachments that are encoded in base64. * Openssl: if /usr/local/ssl exists, assume that this is the intended place where ssl libraries, include files and certificates are located. Typically, distributions do not use this directory, so its existence indicates that Openssl has been specially installed there, so it is probably a preferred place to get the system Openssl files. * Postponed messages whose content-type is text/html, text/enriched and text/richtext are sent with that content-type, even though, after resuming composition, Alpine had changed its type to text/plain. * HTML: <BR>, <BR />, and <BR/&> are considered the same inline tag; the same is valid for the <HR> tag.
2014-05-31 * new version 2.19.9991Eduardo Chappa
* S/MIME Alpine would compute incorrectly the signature of a message that contains 8bit if the option "Enable 8bit ESMTP Negotiation" is enabled, the message contains 8bit characters and the smtp server supports 8bit sending. * Crash while redrawing S/MIME configuration screen when importing a certificate * When forwarding a message before opening it, the message might not be found. The problem is in the forward_body function, where the section of the body is not correctly set in all instances. * When forwarding a signed message Alpine might forward the message as a multipart message, instead of just selecting the body of the message. Change to forward the signed part only. This aligns Alpine with what it does when it replies to a similar message.
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.

2014-04-18 * 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.
