Pan 0.10.0.90, "More Sugar", 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 0.10.0.90 The improbable version number is to indicate that this is a beta between 0.10.0 and 0.10.1, without confusing RPM with sane, human-readable phrases like "beta". Better solutions are welcomed. :) Changes between 0.10.0 and 0.10.0.90 NEW FEATURES * Added Profiles manager for managing posting/mailing email, signature, etc. for different groups. * The search field above the group and article lists are now comboboxes that remember earlier search fields. Thanks to Adam Nevins for suggesting this. * Finally added support for writing posts with an external editor. Thanks to Sylpheed for this. * Added the ability to sort by read state (new, unread, number of new replies, etc) and by action state (flagged, queued, etc). Thanks to David Watson and Sapient Fridge for suggesting this. * Can now toggle between a normal font and a monospace font in the article body pane. Thanks to KNode for this. * Added the ability to toggle the visibility of any of the three main panes. * Added an option to shorten names in the group pane; ie, "comp.graphics.apps.gimp" can be shortened to "c.g.a.gimp". UPDATES * The "Save Article" and "Save Attachments" dialogs have been merged into a single dialog. * The menu has been rearranged to have more sensible feature groupings. * Nicer article navigation. * Small improvements in Pan's configure script. * When Following up an article, the focus in the composer window is set to the message box, rather than being hidden wherever the default was. Thanks to Cameron Kerr for suggesting this. * "Stable" sorting in the thread pane added back into Pan, so sorting in one column, then another, effectively gives a two-key sort. BUG FIXES * Fixed three different crashing bugs that occurred when torturing the article threads. * Some headers were not being saved for pending articles in the pan.sendlater folder. This caused problems when trying to post offline. Thanks to T'aZ, Frank Van Damme, and lots of other people for reporting this bug. * Fixes an i18n charset problem in 0.10.0. Thanks to Jeffrey Stedfast for reporting this big. * Fixes xml decoding bug. Thanks to Tõivo Leedjärv for reporting this bug and providing a patch. * Fixed annoying space reading bug that caused short articles to be scrolled offscreen, then back on again, before going to the next article. * Fix small bug that didn't let the text pane's font size to be changed correctly if gtkhtml was being used. Thanks to David Watson for reporting this bug. * Header encoding Pan/GMime bug fixed. Thanks to Christian Lohmaier for reporting this bug and Jeffrey Stedfast for fixing it in GMime. * pan/text.c (text_create): fix problem with changing the background color of the gtkhtml pane. Thanks to Tõivo Leedjärv for providing this fix. * Hitting "show all headers" didn't actually show *all* headers, just more headers. Thanks to Christian Lohmaier for reporting this bug. * In the article toolbar filter, switching between Subject and Author didn't cause the articles to be re-filtered. * Tab Damage errors in 0.10.0 fixed. * Small memory leaks fixed.
