The following is a non complete list of updates of the patch that allows you to define new rules to make pine flexible.

October 17, 2006 Pine 4.64
  • Added macro support by adding the _SCREEN_, _PKEY_ and _COMMAND_ tokens.
June 11, 2006 Pine 4.64
  • Added the PROCID token in the official release.
April 08, 2006 Pine 4.64
  • Added support for the ADDRESSTO, ADDRESSCC and ADDRESSRECIPS token for the index-format.
January 30, 2006 Pine 4.64
  • Fixed a bug which made Pine crash when one adds the ATT token to the index format. Reported by Erik Quaeghebeur in comp.mail.pine.
July 29, 2005 Pine 4.63
  • Fixed a bug which made Pine crash when one replies to several messages at the same time (in an aggregate operation).
February 25, 2005 Pine 4.62
  • Rewrote the advance_to_char function because it was returning incorrect data.
January 19, 2005 Pine 4.62
  • An updated version of this patch was released for version 4.62 on January 18, 2005. Most of the functions in file rules.c were rewritten. The main point is that the old code did "parsing and execution" all the time. Now parsing is done when starting, and only execution is done when needed. This is only a noticeable improvement in old and slow processors.
  • Robert Delius Royar has pointed out that the new code does not contain a protection to deference a null pointer, which makes Pine crash. He submitted a patch for this, which was added to the new code. Thank you!!
November 30, 2004 Pine 4.61
  • Add all tokens related to date, so that they can be used with save rules.
September 17, 2004 Pine 4.61
  • I had made a change in rules.c in all.patch that had not been made in this patch. Robert Wolf called my attention on this matter and helped me fix some bugs introduced in these new modifications. Thank you!
August 03, 2004 Pine 4.61
  • Fixed a bug that made Pine save some messages which should not have when using the move-auto-read-msgs-using-rules option.
July 24, 2004 Pine 4.61
  • Added two tokens ADRESSCC and ADDRESSRECIPS which are the equivalent of the ADRESSTO token and it has the same relationship to then CC and RECIPS tokens that ADRESSTO has to the TO token.
July 02, 2004 Pine 4.60
  • Fixed a bug which could make Pine save messages in the incorrect folder when the rule for automatic movement of messages to their destination folders was used.
June 04, 2004 Pine 4.60
  • Fixed a bug which could make Pine crash when moving read messages from a folder in case there were filtered messages in that folder.
May 14, 2004 Pine 4.58
  • Added two new variables threading-display-style-rule and threading-index-style-rule.
June 09, 2003 Pine 4.56
  • I rewrote part of the code that makes Pine select the smtp server so that the selection will be exclusive, this means that if sending with any of the servers listed under smtp-rules does not succeed, then no smtp server is used. Suggested by Robert Delius Royar.
May 06, 2003 Pine 4.55
  • Finally I added revese sort methods to the patch!!
October 17, 2002 Pine 4.44

October 02, 2002 Pine 4.44
  • Improved speed in the algorithm that saves messages automatically using rules, everything should be done very fast now.
