Well, now that I've done some investigation I'm more confused than ever.

I've compiled the 0.94 beta, which is an oddly abbreviated version with
new support for nzb files, but no ability to switch between news servers
(although I can define as many servers as I want).  Very peculiar.

The cutesy names for the various versions don't seem to match up between
Changelogs, website, mailing list, and CVS repository -- so I'm inclined
to conclude that there are several development teams working on pan
independently.

If I'm wrong, please correct me!  I'd like to understand and keep up.
