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.

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.

2014-02-02 * 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.
2013-11-18 * 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.
2013-08-28 * 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.
2013-08-18 * 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.
