Pan is a newsreader which attempts to be pleasing to both new and experienced users. In addition to the standard newsreader features, Pan also supports yEnc, offline newsreading, article filtering, multiple connections, and more 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. About 0.13.2.90 This release is a happy group of bugfixes and speed tweaks. A revision number of 90 or higher is used to flag this release as a beta without confusing RPM with a name like ``0.13.3-pre1''. Changes since 0.13.2 Tweaks +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pan Team | Lots of speed tweaks, particularly in | | | refreshing the header pane. | |----------------+-------------------------------------------| | Duncan | Pan now retains custom accelerator keys | | | (shortcuts) between sessions. | |----------------+-------------------------------------------| | | Reordered the group popup menu items so | | #93713 | that the delete-all and mark-all-read | | Gollum | buttons are at the bottom next to `delete | | | group', less likely to get clicked by | | | accident. | |----------------+-------------------------------------------| | | Modify the header pane to clear the | | #89959 | display when the top row in the header | | Bas Mevissen | pane, which shows the group's name, is | | | selected. | |----------------+-------------------------------------------| | #98334 | Made the new user dialog's welcome | | Christian Rose | message more i18n-friendly. | |----------------+-------------------------------------------| | | Reduced the number of strings needing | | Pan Team | translations by merging similar strings | | | elsewhere in Pan. | |----------------+-------------------------------------------| | Pan Team | Added more error checking and logging | | | when spawning new threads. | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Bug Fixes +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Valgrind | Fixed a nasty little memory | | | corruption bug in Pan's status bars. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | | Fixed a race condition that could | | #99095 | cause Pan to crash on startup when | | Pan Team | the ``restore tasks?'' dialog | | | appeared. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | | Fixed crash that occurred when | | #85153 | changing groups or exiting Pan when | | Carl Hudkins | the current group in the header pane | | | is trying to refresh itself. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | Chill | Fixed 0.13.1 bug that broke the | | | Supersede function. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | | Fixed annoying space-key-reading bug | | #91365 | where Pan could jump to the next | | Arcterex | article before the bottom page of the | | | current article had been shown. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | #93169 | Added the `red x' icon back to the | | Leonard Nutley | header pane for articles whose | | | download attempts have failed. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | #93894 | Fixed a bug that corrupted the | | Gollum | multipart states of some articles. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | | Fixed refresh bug that caused Pan to | | #90970 | disconcertingly deselect the current | | Johan | group and reselect the previous | | | group. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | #89281 | Fixed bug that broke space reading on | | Christian Lohmaier | articles whose subjects contained | | | 8bit data. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | Pan Team | Fixed bug that broke the bozo and | | | spam filters on 8bit data. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | | Handle slightly-broken Message-ID | | #98424 | headers more gracefully. Message-IDs | | Pan Team | with trailing spaces broke space | | | reading in 0.13.0. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | | Handle broken content-type headers | | #98463 | more gracefully: if text/plain | | Martin Schrode | couldn't be parsed, the text message | | | wasn't be displayed. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | Tom F | Fixed obsolete web link in the new | | | user dialog. | |--------------------+---------------------------------------| | Valgrind | Fixed a half-dozen small memory | | | leaks. | +------------------------------------------------------------+
