This note is to announce the availability of the Pine Message System
version 3.96.  This release is considered a maintenance release and is
intended to fix a small set of specific problems. 

These problems include all bugs fixed in the 3.95 patch released last
month as well as a security hole in both the imapd and ipopd daemons
distributed in the Pine 3.95 release.

If you are not running the IMAP or POP daemons distributed with a previous
release and you are not experiencing the problems addressed in the 3.95
patch, then upgrading to this latest release may not be necessary. 

The complete list of changes and improvements, as well as general
information about Pine, can be found via the built-in release notes
("R" off the Main Menu) and via: 

        http://www.cac.washington.edu/pine
and:
        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/docs

This release should be considered more stable than its predecessors,
though you should be sure to verify for yourself that this is the case in
your specific environment before placing it into production use. 

Source for the latest Pine release is available in: 

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine.tar.Z
and
        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine.tar.gz

PC-Pine in available in:

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pcpine

and precompiled binaries for the various systems we have direct access to

and

As always, Thanks and Enjoy! 

Sincerely,

The Pine Development Team
