Well, Pine 4.00 has already shown signs of "beta phase instability" -- the Pine Team just announced that part of the sources (specifically the imap daemon) has security problems: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >From gray@cac.washington.edu Sat Jul 11 12:06:52 1998 Date: Fri, 10 Jul 1998 23:44:59 -0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) From: Terry Gray <gray@cac.washington.edu> To: pine-announce@u.washington.edu Subject: Attention: Please update your imapd Just after Pine 4.00 was released, we were made aware of a security problem with the imapd server that is included in the Pine 4.00 distribution. This will be fixed in the Pine 4.01 maintenance release, but in the mean time, if you are using the UW IMAP server, please update it with the following distribution: ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z We don't have new imapd binaries available yet. Pine itself is not affected. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I personally still use Pine 3.96 on production machines and I will not switch over to Pine 4.00 until it proves to be less buggy/more stable. I believe many people will want to stick with 3.96 until the future 4.01 will gain trust (remember there are *many* changes in the sources of 4.00 compared to 3.96 and I have faced some probles in the porting process). And besides, the form of the port has pretty much changed -- I will submit it soon on a 'send-pr'. Personally I'm still in the favor of making it a separate port, it will require just a change on the MASTER_SITES for the old 3.96 to survive. > > -- > Andrey A.
