Pan 0.12.92, `The Best Writing is Rewriting', 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 yEnc, 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/ for the rest of the sales pitch. About 0.12.92 This is the third 0.13.0 beta release. It fixes twenty bugs, focusing on posting articles, charset support, and memory leaks. A revision number of >= 90 is used to flag this release as a beta without confusing RPM with the name `0.13.0-pre3'.
