The first version was written in 1989,[1] and announced to the public in March 1992.[2] Source code was available for only the Unix version under a license written by the University of Washington. Pine is no longer under development, and has been replaced by the Alpine client, which is available under the Apache License.

There are Unix, Windows, and Linux versions of Pine.[3] The Unix/Linux version is text user interface based—its message editor inspired the text editor Pico. The Windows (and formerly DOS) version is called PC-Pine. WebPine was available to individuals associated with the University of Washington (students, faculty, etc.)—a version of Pine implemented as a web application. [4]
Most moved over to Alpine, however there are still many users of this software.
