See "Pine Release Chronology & Version Changes" at

As late as possible, as soon as necessary, and vice versa! Seriously, firm future release dates are hard to establish. To make sure you won't miss the next release, you can subscribe to the Pine-Announce mailing list; for more information on that, see

This refers to the following message when Pine begins for the first time, or when a new .pinerc is generated:
<<<This message will appear only once>>> Welcome to Pine ... a Program for Internet News and Email We hope you will explore Pine's many capabilities. From the Main Menu, select Setup/Config to see many of the options available to you. Also note that all screens have context-sensitive help text available. SPECIAL REQUEST: This software is made available world-wide as a public service of the University of Washington in Seattle. In order to justify continuing development, it is helpful to have an idea of how many people are using Pine. Are you willing to be counted as a Pine user? Pressing Return will send an anonymous (meaning, your real email address will not be revealed) message to the Pine development team at the University of Washington for purposes of tallying. Pine is a trademark of the University of Washington.
