Was crashing 0.112 earlier this week so at the above taunt I crashed  
it again just now. Then filed #356206 at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

Other than crashing, 0.111 and 0.112 download slower than 0.14.2.91  
and get slower and slower until download stops. Restarting stuck  
partial downloads in the Task Manager, doesn't. But exit from pan and  
restart, the old Task list is resumed and articles resume their  
download.

Slowdown happens whether I have one or two news servers configured.  
Whether or not both are primary or one is primary and the other  
backup. Whether or not both are reachable.

No matter what option I select when adding tasks to the list, tasks  
do not land in the task list in the same order as selected in the  
header list. The headers may be listed in numerical order  
part001.rar, part002.rar, ... but the tasks are not necessarily in  
that order, no matter my repeated selection of "at the bottom."

Speaking of which, my previous method of adding new tasks to the list  
doesn't stick between uses as the default for the next use. Always  
reverts to "download oldest first."

As for enhancements, I'd like to be able to monitor the status of  
multiple configured news servers. Just what is each being asked to  
do? Whether or not both are reachable. I get a fair amount of  
warnings and "unreachable" and "socket errors" from pan via stderr.
