Just so you know...

0.14.x was the last of the old C-based pan series and must be about a 
decade old now.  The C++ rewrite was introduced as 0.90, and there have 
been about 50 releases since then, bringing it to 0.140 (I believe 0.141 
is actually the git version ATM, no actual 0.141 release yet, but I run 
the git version so it's easy to lose track).

Unfortunately, I believe some Debian-based distros and perhaps Debian 
itself, add another decimal in there and call 0.140 0.14.0, with 0.141 
presumably being 0.14.1.  However, all that does is cause confusion, 
because as I said, 0.14 is the about a decade old now old C-based pan, 
which worked quite a bit differently in some areas.

And I know for sure that 0.14 was *WELL* before builtin ssl support was 
added -- back then, and with the C++ rewrite until Heinrich added SSL 
support (and a bunch of other stuff) sometime around 0.133 I believe, if 
people needed SSL support the recommendation was to run an ssl-based 
tunneling utility (the name of which IDR ATM), and have pan connect to 
and use the tunnel's secure connection services.

So unless you have some sort of ssl tunneling setup, you cannot 
_possibly_ be correct with ssl working fine in your 0.14 claim, as pan 
didn't support (built-in) secure connections _at_ _all_ some 10 years ago 
or whatever with the 0.14.x version.
