Try deleting the stored certificate and trying again.  There was a bug 
causing certs to be stored incorrectly, that was fixed about that time 
(I'm running git-pan so it's history for me).  So pan's probably seeing 
the corrupt cert and now that it can check it properly, believes the 
connection is being tampered with and won't connect.  Getting rid of the 
old one allows the correct one to be stored and with luck you won't have 
any further problems.

The other possibility is that the update was built without ssl/tls 
support.  It's an option, and at one point there were license issues with 
distributing the binary with that support builtin.  They've been resolved 
now, but various distros may still have chosen to build without that 
support.
