Pan 0.11.0.90, "Tiddely pom", 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 0.11.0.90 This release has a new filter "Threads I've Posted In" and some minor user interface improvements. However most of the work has gone into bugfixes as we try to move from "sexy, new 0.11.0 release" to "stable, boring 0.11.x release". A revision number of >= 90 is used to flag this release as a beta without confusing RPM with a name like "0.10.0-pre1". What's New in 0.11.0.90 NEW FEATURES * Added new builtin filter: "Articles/Threads posted by Me" * When multiple articles are selected and the enter key is pressed, in addition to downloading and displaying the first article, the remaining selected articles are now also downloaded. Thanks to Cory Dodt for suggesting this. * Added "Filter by Message-ID" to the header pane toolbar filter. * Better at guessing a default news server for news users. UPDATES * Better data recovery in the case of a Pan or system crash. * Slightly faster threading of articles. BUG FIXES * Fixed crash that occurred when repeatedly loading the same group. * Better conformance to RFC977 2.4.1. This bug caused some binary attachments to be decoded improperly in 0.11.0. Thanks to Thomas K. Gamble for reporting * If saving attachments to disk because a directory isn't writable then give a warning in the Pan log and fail the task so that the user can fix the problem. Thanks to Sebastien Leclair for reporting this bug. * Build fixes for the Compaq C compiler on Linux Alpha. Thanks to Alan Young for reporting these problems and submitting a patch. * The Article cache was growing past the user-defined limit in 0.11.0. Thanks to Muralito and Alan Young for reporting this bug. * Fixed rare crash-on-exit bug that occurred when one thread was shutting down the Pan app log while another thread was trying to log a shutdown message. :) Thanks to Jed Baer for reporting this bug. * Now handles watching/ignoring a thread even if the article selected when 'watch' button is pressed has a broken References: header. (Shame on you Forte Agent 1.8! :) Thanks to David Watson for reporting this bug. * Fixed rare gui lockup bug when loading new articles for the group that's currently loaded. * "Flag Thread" and "Unflag Thread" didn't flag the entire thread as they should have. Thanks to Peter Borgmann for reporting this bug. * Fixed bug that caused groups to be threaded more often than necessary. * Fixed bug that didn't remember the "Thread/Unthread Header Pane" setting between sessions and required the button to be pressed twice before it would work. Thanks to Jed Baer for reporting this bug. * Fixed small compile problem reported by Gabi Davar and Francesco Lamonica. * Fixed bug that incorrectly saved the pane dimensions for the "three vertically stacked panes" layout mode. Thanks to Douglas Bollinger and Erik W. Hanson for reporting this bug. * Memory leaks fixed.
