Pan 0.9.7pre4, "Twelve Misty Mountains", has been released.
It can be found at http://pan.rebelbase.com/.
What is Pan?
PAN is a newsreader for GNOME which is easy to use, configurable,
and good at both real newsreading and downloading binaries.
See http://pan.rebelbase.com/features.html for the sales pitch.
About 0.9.7pre4
This is an development release for users wanting to test new code.
Bug reports, feedback, and especially patches are very welcome.
Users wanting only to read news should use Pan 0.9.6 until 0.9.7
is released.
As has been pointed out on the gnome-announce mailing list,
version numbers like "pre4" can be problematic. After 0.9.7,
future development releases will be minor revision numbers
staring with 90, such as "0.9.7.90".
Changes in 0.9.7pre4
UPDATES
* Better handling of thread tracking even when an article in the
thread has a corrupt References: header. Thank to Jim Henderson
for reporting this problem and Adrian von Bidder for suggesting
a solution.
* Better recovery when importing of missing, corrupt, or completely
broken .newsrc files.
* More consistent checking for corrupt article headers from the news
server. Sideways thanks to usenetserver.com for providing corrupt
headers repeatably so that I could track this down.
* Text in an alt.binaries.pictures article is now displayed before
the picture, rather than after it, by request from Margus Ramst
and Frank Van Damme.
* Updated some icons. Thanks to Paolo Bacchilega for suggesting these
changes and providing icons.
BUG FIXES
* One more attempt to get very large articles to decode properly
even the user's cache is set to some small size. Thanks to the
flood of people reporting this problem against pre2 and pre3.
* Fix bug that caused folders to be corrupted or erased in earlier
prereleases when the "save setup" button was pressed.
* Moving back to the zoomed thread view from the zoomed article view
no longer moves the thread view down to the bottom of the list.
Thanks *very* much to Samuel Solon for providing a workaround to
this gtk+ bug.
cheers,
Charles
