 * Yes. This was one of the most significant advances over Pine.  I've updated the article to reflect this. --Karnesky (talk) 13:43, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I see that alpine 2.11 is released on eduardo's site. http://patches.freeiz.com/alpine/release/index.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1810:3A00:900:5CC2:4B86:4092:C0FE (talk) 09:37, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Seeing as Alpine is essentially Pine 5, I think it's best to bring Pine (email client) and Alpine (email client) together. Pine was the former name, a redirect should be fine. &mdash;Hobart (talk) 01:03, 2 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose. As I read the articles, Alpine was a deliberate break with Pine, and the break should be respected. --Alvestrand (talk) 20:00, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The reason for the split was that Pine became closed source so Washington continued with the open sources. Pine diverged in a closed-source manner. It may well be that Pine used the Washington sources, but there is no way of knknowing. 12:04, 8 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.174.119.101 (talk)

Update official link
I suggest updating the link to the official Website. While at the moment the link seems to be expired, Arch Linux Wiki suggests this website: http://www.washington.edu/alpine/
