Version 4.44 is a bug-fix release that addresses bugs found in the
previous release. Bugs that have been addressed in this release include:
* URL handler allows embedded commands
* Answered flag not set in some circumstances when replying
* PC-Pine command line argument -passfile to change the name of the
password file. This should be a fully-qualified filename.
* Replying to a message may close the folder containing the message
* Pine fails to compile in non-DEBUG mode.
* PC-Pine crashes in some dialogs when run in Dialog Box mode.
* Setup/Signature prefers literal-signature by default
* Composer justify command handles nested quoting better
* Increased efficiency for remote configurations (no temporary files)
* New tokens SIZECOMMA (similar to 4.33 SIZE) and SIZENARROW for index-format
* Select by size (thanks to Martin Gallwey)
* New feature quell-content-id for working around Outlook XP problem
* New PC-Pine feature quell-ssl-largeblocks for working around OS
SSL-problems
* Better color interoperability between PC-Pine and Unix Pine with
16-color xterm
* New PC-Pine dialog to aid in locating configuration file if none found
* Save from local folder to simple name in remote collection fails
* Crash when selecting folders by Properties (Unseen...) in local collection
* Crash when talking to POP3 servers which have the EXPIRE capability
* Crash when talking to SMTP server which offers STARTTLS
* Crash when accessing remote config if there is a TLS failure
* Crash when index-format includes SCORE token, a score rule includes
an AllText pattern, and the folder being scored is remote
* Delivery Status Notification (DSN) broken
* Editing reply-indent-string was broken when using Windows dialog boxes
* Entire folder is re-filtered when Save is typed and save-will-advance is set
+ restore definitions of RM and LN in makefile.neb, as they're used
later on in the file.
+ if we're going to the bother of passing PREFIX to the invocation of
make, we might as well use PREFIX rather than LOCALBASE in the definition
of CCLIENTDIR.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
