+RELEASE NOTES
+
+ * Keep in mind that if you have been using the localhost server with an
+ stunnel setup and you change Pan to connect directly to the server using
+ the actual server address, you should edit the existing server instead of
+ creating a new entry. If you create a new entry, Pan will see this as a
+ new server entirely even though you may be connecting to the same account
+ as before.
+ Your subscribed groups will be lost!
+ By editing the existing 'localhost:119' server entry, your subscriptions
+ will be preserved.
+
+ * To get SSL support in Pan, remember to run the following command:
+
+ ./configure --with-gnutls
+
+ If you are building Pan from the Git code repository, run the following
+ command:
+
+ sh autogen.sh --with-gnutls
+
+ * Directories to search for SSL certificates can be defined with the
+ environment variable 'SSL_CERT_DIR' or 'SSL_DIR'.
