Pan 0.11.3 "Wenn ist das Nunstruck git und Slotermeyer?" has been released. It can be found at http://pan.rebelbase.com/. What is Pan? Pan is a newsreader, loosely based on Agent and Gravity, which attempts to be pleasant to use for new and advanced users alike. It has all the typical features found in newsreaders and also supports offline newsreading, article filtering, multiple connections, and a number of extra features for power users and alt.binaries fans. It's also the only Unix newsreader to get a perfect score on the Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval evaluations. See http://pan.rebelbase.com/features.html for the rest of the sales pitch. About 0.11.3 This is mostly a stability release. It fixes about twenty-five bugs that were present in 0.11.2, and adds few new features, with the notable exception of yEnc support. Changes Since 0.11.2 NEW FEATURES * Added support for decoding yenc-encoded attachments! Thanks to Gabi Davar and Jeff Stedfast for contributing code and debugging to this effort. (70368, 71330) * Added the ability to specify which characters are recognized as quote prefix characters, so nonconformists not using '>' to quote text will still have their articles colored right in Pan. :) Thanks to Colin Leroy for contributing this code. (68159, 75916) * Added "Go to previous article" navigation button. Thanks to Colin Leroy for contributing this patch. (75716) UPDATES * The 'Download Articles' dialog now switches the articlelist to the group when the headers have been downloaded. Since this dialog is mostly used to sample a (potentially large) group, this seems the more intuitive approach. Thanks to Himanshu J. Gohel for suggesting this. (66510) * Added Message-ID to Find Article's search criteria. Thanks to Pascal Valois for suggesting this. (68332) * Add a new preference option, allowing failed tasks to be removed automatically from the Task Manager. Thanks to John Mellow and Aric S. Campling for suggesting this. (71992, 75186) * Added support for mime articles which explicitly specify a Content-Transfer-Encoding of x-uuencode. Thanks to Sam Solon and Jeff Stedfast for this code. (74798) * Make sure that the default window size is large enough that a full line, up to the default number of wrap characters and with the default font, will fit without scrolling. Thanks to John Mellor for suggesting this obvious-in-hindsight improvement. :) (76062) BUG FIXES * Fixed bug that caused multi-part binary posts with variable-length segment number to be seen as incomplete. Thanks to Craig Orsinger for reporting this. (71647) * Fixed 0.11.2 bug where Pan could crash when a confirmation dialog was needed to confirm sending a message with issues. (71440) * Fixed 0.11.2 bug that could cause the article count not to be reset to zero when the group was empties. Thanks to Craig Orgsinger for reporting this. (71645) * Fixed crash that occurred in the Japanese locale. Thanks to Erik Anderson and Bill Huang for reporting this bug, and to T. Aihana for fixing the Japanese translation file. (78244) * Fixed long-standing bug that made it impossible to cancel an unread message. Thanks to Kerstin Rohlfs for leading me to this bug. (64287) * Fixed UI bug in the message composer that caused Ctrl-space to send the message. (71352) * When editing an existing server profile, the server name is now read-only. Thanks to Ned Boddy for reporting this bug. (72432) * Better handling for the case where the 'Followup-To:' header contains an email address. Thanks to Mike Brodbelt for suggesting this. (72608) * Fixed UI bug in the Preferences dialog that caused the button to stay greyed out even when some parts of the dialog had changed. Thanks to John Mellor for reporting this. (73180) * The Profile Editor now rejects double-quotes in the author's real name. Thanks to Martin Bruchanov for reporting this. (68770) * Fixed a crash that occurred when sending mail from a system that didn't have a resolvable hostname. Thanks to T'aZ for reporting this bug. (74129) * Fixed a crash that occurred when Pan couldn't connect to the news server. Thanks to Aurelien Gouny for reporting this bug. (70858) * Fixed a bug in Follow-Up that caused some new text typed in by the user to be colored in the quoted-text color rather than the normal text color. Thanks to Michael McIntyre for reporting this bug. (75993) * If a yenc block ends without a "=yend", or a uu block ends without an "end", treat the block as plaintext instead of encoded data. Looks like some M$ bashers are starting their posts with "begin 666" to tickle a similar bug in OE. :) Thanks to Jason Rumney and mr_p for reporting this bug. (76358) * Fixed crash that occurred when trying to parse empty/corrupt messages. Thanks to Jorge Salinas for reporting this bug. (78287) * Fixed bug that could incorrectly cause articles to become marked as read. Thanks to Jiri Kubicek for tracking this down and writing a fix. (77878) * Fixed crash that occurred when the user tried to create a new identity that was incomplete. Thanks to Jef E. for reporting this bug. (77582) * Pan now uses GMT rather than local time when generating the timestamp for unique message ids of new posts. When using local time and daylight savins ends, a date could show up twice. Thanks to Mirko Liss for suggesting this. (77528) * Increased the default maximum number of connections for new servers to two, since we also default to reserving one connection for reading messages. Thanks to William Peterson for reporting this. (76867) * Fixed bug that was too strict on what Message-IDs to retain in a References: header when posting a follow-up. Thanks to Colin Leroy and Jim Henderson for reporting this bug. * Fixed 0.11.1 branefart that moved widget focus to the thread pane, rather than the text pane, whenever a message was read via the 'N' key. Thanks to Florian Schmidt for reporting this bug. * Fixed some potential connection problems. Thanks to Sven Neuhaus for reporting these issues. (73179) * Fixed gui lockup bug that occured when changing groups while the log viewer was open. (77909) * The Filter Text in the Edit Rule dialog box now has a scrollbar when required. Thanks to Himanshu J. Gohel for reporting this. (62909) * Fixed various memory leaks. .
