The current version is 0.94, but at this time Charles has not put it
into CVS and is doing release tarballs directly on pan.rebelbase.com.

If I remember correctly here is how the versions break down right now:
0.14.2: Stable
0.14.2.91: Old Beta
0.14.90: What is in CVS right now.
0.9x: The latest series of releases, every week significant improvements
are being made.  0.90 was rough but usable, 0.94 has become my standard
newsreader and I removed 0.14.2.91 off my system completely.

Charles is the only active developer right now and I think has been
involved for a very long time.

Now for any issues you see with the 0.9x series I think Charles is
looking for feedback so if you post them on this mailing list he might
look into using your suggestions for improving Pan.
