August 27, 2003 - New Release: 0.14.1 - "This is not a psychotic episode. It's a cleansing moment of clarity." http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/0.14.1/ 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 0.14.1 This release adds faster article loading/saving/threading/sorting, better scorefile integration, and over fifty other bugfixes, usability improvements, and portability changes.
