2020-02-09 * Creation of port wxp to build Alpine in Windows XP. At the timeEduardo Chappa
of this writing, the port w32 is the same as the port wxp, but it is intended to target other 32 bit operating systems.
2020-02-08 * Fixes to pine.hlp, submitted by Dennis Davis.Eduardo Chappa
2020-02-06 * Corrections to the release notes provided by Dennis Davis.Eduardo Chappa
2020-02-06 * Add a help text to the option close-connection-timeout. Reported byEduardo Chappa
Aditya Mahajan.
2020-02-06 * Fix a bug in PC-Alpine that made Alpine go into an infinte loop andEduardo Chappa
consume CPU when it was iconized. Reported by Holger Schieferdecker in comp.mail.pine.
2020-02-03 * Add variable system-certs-file to indicate the location of a containerEduardo Chappa
of CA certificates. This complements the variable system-certs-path that gives the location the directory that containes CA certificates.
2020-01-30 * Add file cert.pem to the list of containers of CA certificates.Eduardo Chappa
2020-01-29 * Remove default value for system-certs-path.Eduardo Chappa
2020-01-26 * Add support for the OAUTHBEARER authentication method in Gmail. Thanks toEduardo Chappa
Alexander Perlis for suggesting it and explaining how the method works.
2020-01-25 * Crash in Alpine when attempting to reply to a multipart/alternativeEduardo Chappa
message that is malformed, and the option to include attachments in reply is enabled. Reported and patched by Peter Tirsek.
2020-01-25 * New variable system-certs-path that allows users to indicate theEduardo Chappa
location of the directory where folders are located. In PC-Alpine this must be C:\libressl\ssl\certs. The C: drive can be replaced by the name of the drive where the binary and DLL files are located.
2020-01-19 * Initial release of Alpine version 2.22.Eduardo Chappa
2020-01-19 * Creating w32 port for compilation of Alpine. This is intended for oldEduardo Chappa
machines that cannot be updated. Long story short: Always use the command "build wnt" to build Alpine. If that does not work, try "build w32", which is for machines that are too old and do not have any way to use modern encryption protocols such as TLSv1.2. The version of Alpine built in modern machines will be called alpine.exe, and the binary built with the port w32 will be called alpine32 in the repository. All other binaries can be downloaded from the main web site, and they will not have the suffix "32" there.
2020-01-18 * Adding pith_ssl_encryption function to linkage.h.Eduardo Chappa
2020-01-18 * A few more changes in copyright notices and removal of phone-home code thatEduardo Chappa
counts users of Alpine. This eliminates any information sent to the developers of Alpine by Alpine users. Based on work by Geoffrey Thomas.
2020-01-18 * Various fixes to copyright notices, make sure we allocate enoughEduardo Chappa
memory in file http.c, and move Pico version to 5.10.
2020-01-17 * Add file imap/src/osdep/nt/nt_libressl.c, which is useful to buildEduardo Chappa
the windows version of Alpine in a 32-bit environment.
2020-01-16 * Fix a few more misspellings in the source code of Alpine.Eduardo Chappa
List contributed by Jens Schleusener.
2020-01-15 * Fix a number of misspellings in the source code of Alpine. I hav onlyEduardo Chappa
fixed those that belong to the source code of Alpine and do not come from an external source. List contributed by Jens Schleusener.
2020-01-15 * Add configuration screen for XOAUTH, so users can configure their ownEduardo Chappa
client-id and client-secret information.
2020-01-10 * Add file ssl_win.c, which is necessary for the compilation ofEduardo Chappa
PC-Alpine.
2020-01-07 * Do not add -lcrypt to LIBS when it is not required. Reported by RyanEduardo Chappa
Elliot.
2020-01-04 * The feature that stopped alpine from saving passwords in the passwordEduardo Chappa
file prevented users from actually saving their passwords in Windows and MAC OS. Fix the code so that passwords will be saved. Also, update the documentation of this feature. * Fix a buffer overflow bug in the XOAUTH2 code (off by one error). * Update PC-Alpine to work with Libressl version 3.0.2 instead of version 2.5.5 (update build.bat and lib files from the LibreSSL build). * Erase SSLXXXXXX file. * ssl_nt.c actually directs the code to ssl_libressl.c or ssl_win.c. The file ssl_libressl.c is the file ssl_unix.c from the unix osdep directory. The file ssl_win.c is the native SSL windows code. The Unix side provides S/MIME support for Alpine and the latest encryption protocols support for Alpine when connecting to a secure server, while the windows side provide TLSv1_3 support for Alpine, but not S/MIME support. In order to provide unix code for TLSv1_3 (once LibreSSL supports it) edit the file os_nt.c and remove the comments on the #ifdef section. This would provide both TLSv1_3 and S/MIME support with unix code. On the other hand, when we provide TLSv1_3 with the Windows code we need to undefine DF_ENCRYPTION_RANGE, and this is done in the file include/config.wnt.h. The way this is done as of this moment is by commenting an #else directive that preceedes this #undefine. * Update makefile.nt and friends in the windows side to account for the addition of XOAUTH2, and the use of only ssl_nt.c when dealing with Alpine. * Define SMIME_SSLCERTS as c:\libressl\ssl\certs, so that these certificates be considered while checking a digital S/MIME signature. * Improvements to the SMARTTIME24 token to account for changes in year.
2019-12-19 * Update to configure script to work with LibreSSL. Reported by Michael.Eduardo Chappa
2019-12-14 * When more than one server was given in the server-name configurationEduardo Chappa
option of rldap servers, none of them worked. Reported by Robert Wolf.
2019-11-25 * Add lnpno port to imap/src/osdep/unix/Makefile to account for ports that doEduardo Chappa
not need/want to build using pam. Add more robustness to the configure process, to add -lcrypt to the build flags when --with-bundled-tools=no is given.
2019-11-23 * Change in build process. Now Alpine will not build the imap tools byEduardo Chappa
default. In order to build the imap tools (such as mtest, imapd, etc.) the configure script must be given the --with-bundled-tools option. Similarly, libpam is not required anymore, unless the option --with-bundled-tools is used.
2019-11-22 * Alpine crashes when opening a remote imap folder and computing scores.Eduardo Chappa
Reported by Paul DeStefano.
2019-10-29 * Bug in Pico, which makes Alpine (and Pico) print garbage in the screenEduardo Chappa
when a screen is resized to a large number of rows. The solution was to change the type of two variables from "signed char" to "int". Reported by Joshua Miller.
2019-10-27 * Fix a bug in commit 418e8bc5789d... which made Alpine ignore a challengeEduardo Chappa
during authentication using CRAM-MD5. The intention was to ignore the challenge in the PLAIN authentication. This made Alpine fail to authenticate when using the CRAM-MD5 authenticator. Reported by Stefan Mueller.
2019-10-08 * Compilation problem and error in logic in function ssl_validate_cert.Eduardo Chappa
The issue with logic was that of the two checks for validation of if the first one was not done, the second one would not be done. The intention was to do the second check if the first check failed. Reported by Erich Ecknet.
2019-10-06 * Check for name of server in "server validation code" in more places.Eduardo Chappa
* Document request message for first time use reports IMAP for any remote connection. Report the correct type of service instead.
2019-10-03 * Fix compilation errors when Alpine is built with "--without-ssl" option.Eduardo Chappa
2019-09-26 * Return a read() to be a read of one byte. The current code has a codeEduardo Chappa
for a read of zero bytes, but this causes problems. Reported by Greg Oster.
2019-09-22 * Alpine removes trailing spaces from passwords, which creates failuresEduardo Chappa
when login into an account. Reported by R. Lyons.
2019-09-06 * Fixes so that Alpine will build in the Windows operating system. ThisEduardo Chappa
update takes care of building with LibreSSL.
2019-09-01 * Improvements to the pico manual as well as on the code that displaysEduardo Chappa
the table of color codes.
2019-09-01 * Improvements to documentation and behavior of Alpine when users get aEduardo Chappa
non-empty challenge in a smtp server.
2019-08-22 * Ignore extra text in challenge from smtp server during authentication.Eduardo Chappa
2019-08-20 * Improve code that determines the type of encryption that is used accordingEduardo Chappa
to user's request.
2019-08-09 * Bug: When a user cancels a connection, Alpine returns an empty passwordEduardo Chappa
to c-client, which in turn tries an empty password instead of cancelling the connection.
2019-08-01 * Improvements to the documentation on the meaning of the /tls unaryEduardo Chappa
parameter to make sure the user understands that this is used when the STARTLS command is needed and not when a TLS encryption is needed.
2019-07-31 * PC-Alpine will always offer the UTF8 encoded name when an attachmentEduardo Chappa
is being saved.
2019-07-19 * Alpine crashes with error "Lock when already locked" because itEduardo Chappa
attempts to check for new mail on a locked stream that is being used for a save operation. Reported by Carlos E.R.
2019-07-11 * Alpine crashes when trying to post an article in a newsgroup and theEduardo Chappa
connection is closed while the post is being composed, but later the post is attempted to be sent. In some instances, the stream may be open and closed during this time, but Alpine does not realize the connection was closed and attempts the post without a netstream, producing a crash.
2019-07-08 * Correct a misspelling. Pointed out by Holger Trapp.Eduardo Chappa
2019-07-05 * Fix compilation error produced when a specific encryption protocolEduardo Chappa
