You are right in the sense that I maintain Alpine, but anyone could (see for
example
http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/alpine-info/2010-September/003657...),
so since there is only one, I guess that makes me "the" Alpine maintainer.
The University of Washington gave up on Alpine several years ago
(http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/alpine-info/2008-August/001071.ht...
and
http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/alpine-info/2008-August/001151.ht...).
Please notice the dates of the messages, the authorization to continue Alpine
came in September 2010, while the announcement of the latest version came in
August 2008.
The contribution of the University of Washington is a web page for Alpine, a
ftp site for the old version, a repository for its development of Alpine which
has not been updated in years, and the Alpine-info and Alpine-alpha lists, but
has no further involvement. In particular, there is no one there developing,
nor compiling additions, coordinating releases, etc. The message in 2010 was
the final announcement by the University of Washington about discontinuing
support for Alpine.
So Alpine 2.00 is just the last official release by the University of
Washington. Nothing more. Both re-alpine and Alpine 2.10 are ahead of them. You
have a choice, if you want to move forward.
