        What is Pan?                                                     
                                                                         
          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 0.13.3                                                     
                                                                         
          This release contains a huge list of bugfixes, a few big       
          speedups, and a handful of usability improvements.             
                                                                         
          There have been four betas since the last stable release to    
          shake out any new bugs caused by all these changes.

          | Marcin Wojtczuk | by starting the message with a uu begin  | 
          |                 | line.                                    |

          | Leonard Nutley  | header pane for articles whose download  | 
          |                 | attempts have failed.                    | 
          |-----------------+------------------------------------------| 
          | #90378          | Fixed minor display bug in the header    | 
          | Wendell Dingus  | pane which sometimes hid the sorting '+' | 
          |                 | or '-' in the column header.             | 
          |-----------------+------------------------------------------| 
          | #97882          | The header pane now updates itself to    | 
          | Martin Tomasek  | match the gtk2 theme's colors when the   | 
          |                 | desktop's gtk2 theme changes.            | 
          |-----------------+------------------------------------------| 
          | Tom F           | Fixed obsolete web link in the new user  | 
          |                 | dialog.                                  |
