Μετά την απόλυση του Mark Crispin .. βγήκε το Alpine 2.00
Version 2.00 also marks the transition of the Alpine Messaging Team’s role
of direct, active development to one more oriented toward supporting
community driven development. The team intends to continue hosting source,
coordinating and consulting on contributed fixes and additions, and
packaging periodic releases.
