This note is to announce the release of Pine 3.89.  This version is a
maintenance release that fixes several particularly bothersome bugs in
3.88 and earlier.  An overview of the fix list is included below, and an
itemized list can be found in the distribution's release notes.  If this
is the first version run since 3.0x, it's probably a good idea to read the
release notes to see what's changed since 3.07. 

The distribution is available via anonymous ftp to ftp.cac.washington.edu
in the file "mail/pine.tar.Z".  PC-Pine can also be retrieved via the
"Update" option under the Main Menu's "Setup" command. 

As always, many thanks to all who have taken the time to provide valuable
feedback and bug reports.  Thanks for the help!

The Pine Team

SUMMARY OF 3.89 CHANGES

- Pine 3.89 is a primarily a maintenance (bug fix) release, correcting
  several bugs introduced in 3.88 and earlier.

- Fixed: Possibly the last bugs associated with zero length folders
  causing crash with \"Bad msgno in mail_fetchstructure\" with new mail
  arrival and \"Bad msgno in mail_elt\" after failed save.

- Fixed: Bug in \"Goto\" command causing attempted open of garbaged
  folder names and other odd behavior under certain circumstances.

- Fixed: Explicitly set mode of temporary files for sendmail to 0600.

- Fixed: BOOTP gateway, netmask and nameserver recognition (packet-driver
  version).

- Fixed: Display bug showing zero length attachments on re-entering the
  composer.

- Fixed: Export no longer reports success when write fails.

Note to Sequent PTX users:  if you are experiencing performance problems,
 make sure you get the new patch from Sequent to make \"fsync\" work like
 all other Unix \"fsync\"s instead of just doing a \"sync\" instead!

Note to AIX users: There have been reported problems with pine built
 in certain AIX 3.2.X environments.  If you experience problems building
 or running a newly built pine, you might try pine-bin.aix32 available on
 ftp.cac.washington.edu.  Work to find the source of these problems
 continues.

Note to NeXT users: We're aware of, but unable to reproduce, a crash
 in the Folder Index.  If you can reproduce it, please send details to
 [email-masked].
