In general when I get a new version of (al)pine what I do is the 
following:

  - I save the old .pinerc in a backup copy
  - then go through M S C (and the release notes, and the other areas
    of M S)
  - I click on the spot help ( "?" when cursor is on a particular
    configuration line) for all options or features which I recognise
    as new, or whose behaviour is said to be changed ... in doing this
    I use the content of the backup .pinerc as reference

    then I experiment witth new or modified options or features, and
    finally decide which ones are interesting and with which value

  _ using the help is helpful :-) because you see both the options and
    the features

  - eventually you may want to tick Expose Hidden Config to see in
    M S C some of the options in .pinerc which are normally hidden.
    You may then untick it if you wish (I keep them permanently
    exposed)
