[Charles Kerr]

Pan 0.11.4 "Never discuss religion, politics, or toast" 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 0.11.4

        This is a final courtesy bugfix release on the Gnome 1.4 branch,
        consisting of about a dozen fixes already in the Gnome 2 branch,
        for people who don't have root on their systems and can't upgrade
        to gtk2.  Everyone else is encouraged to use Pan 0.12.1 or higher
        instead.

Changes Since 0.11.3

    BUGFIXES

        * Fixed long-standing bug that could cause Pan to crash if the
          grouplist file was corrupt.  Thanks to Adam M for reporting
          this bug. (#72435)

        * Fixed long-standing bug that would cause Pan to download only a

        * Fixed 0.11.2 bug that didn't show HTML messages.  We still don't

          this bug.  (#78723)
