ANN: Pan 0.11.3 "Wenn ist das Nunstuck git und Slotermeyer?"

[Charles Kerr <charles rebelbase com>]

Pan 0.11.3 "Wenn ist das Nunstuck git und Slotermeyer?" has been released.
It can be found at http://pan.rebelbase.com/.
 
What is Pan?

        Pan is a newsreader, loosely based on Agent and Gravity, which
        attempts to be pleasant to use for new and advanced users alike.
        It has all the typical features found in newsreaders and also
        supports offline newsreading, article filtering, multiple connections,
        and a number of extra features for power users and alt.binaries fans.

        It's also the only Unix newsreader to get a perfect score on the
        Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval evaluations.  See
        http://pan.rebelbase.com/features.html for the rest of the
        sales pitch.

About 0.11.3

        This is mostly a stability release.  It fixes about twenty-five bugs
	that were present in 0.11.2, and adds few new features, with the
	notable exception of yEnc support.

Changes Since 0.11.2

    NEW FEATURES

        * Added support for decoding yenc-encoded attachments!  Thanks to
          Gabi Davar and Jeff Stedfast for contributing code and debugging
          to this effort. (70368, 71330)

        * Added the ability to specify which characters are recognized
          as quote prefix characters, so nonconformists not using '>' to
          quote text will still have their articles colored right in Pan. :)
          Thanks to Colin Leroy for contributing this code.  (68159, 75916)

        * Added "Go to previous article" navigation button.  Thanks to
          Colin Leroy for contributing this patch.  (75716)

    UPDATES

        * The 'Download Articles' dialog now switches the articlelist to
          the group when the headers have been downloaded. Since this dialog
          is mostly used to sample a (potentially large) group, this seems
          the more intuitive approach. Thanks to Himanshu J. Gohel for
          suggesting this. (66510)

        * Added Message-ID to Find Article's search criteria. Thanks to
          Pascal Valois for suggesting this. (68332)

        * Add a new preference option, allowing failed tasks to be removed
          automatically from the Task Manager. Thanks to John Mellow and 
          Aric S. Campling for suggesting this. (71992, 75186)

        * Added support for mime articles which explicitly specify a
          Content-Transfer-Encoding of x-uuencode.  Thanks to Sam Solon and
          Jeff Stedfast for this code. (74798) 

        * Make sure that the default window size is large enough that a
          full line, up to the default number of wrap characters and with
          the default font, will fit without scrolling.  Thanks to John Mellor
          for suggesting this obvious-in-hindsight improvement. :) (76062)

    BUG FIXES

        * Fixed bug that caused multi-part binary posts with variable-length
          segment number to be seen as incomplete. Thanks to Craig Orsinger
          for reporting this. (71647)

        * Fixed 0.11.2 bug where Pan could crash when a confirmation dialog
          was needed to confirm sending a message with issues. (71440)

        * Fixed 0.11.2 bug that could cause the article count not to be reset
          to zero when the group was empties. Thanks to Craig Orgsinger for
          reporting this. (71645)

        * Fixed crash that occurred in the Japanese locale.  Thanks to
          Erik Anderson and Bill Huang for reporting this bug, and to
          T. Aihana for fixing the Japanese translation file. (78244)

        * Fixed long-standing bug that made it impossible to cancel an unread
          message. Thanks to Kerstin Rohlfs for leading me to this bug. (64287)

        * Fixed UI bug in the message composer that caused Ctrl-space to send
          the message. (71352)

        * When editing an existing server profile, the server name is now
          read-only.  Thanks to Ned Boddy for reporting this bug.  (72432)

        * Better handling for the case where the 'Followup-To:' header
          contains an email address. Thanks to Mike Brodbelt for suggesting
          this.  (72608)

        * Fixed UI bug in the Preferences dialog that caused the <OK> button
          to stay greyed out even when some parts of the dialog had changed.
          Thanks to John Mellor for reporting this. (73180)

        * The Profile Editor now rejects double-quotes in the author's real
          name. Thanks to Martin Bruchanov for reporting this.  (68770)

        * Fixed a crash that occurred when sending mail from a system that
          didn't have a resolvable hostname. Thanks to T'aZ for reporting
          this bug. (74129)

        * Fixed a crash that occurred when Pan couldn't connect to the news
          server. Thanks to Aurelien Gouny for reporting this bug. (70858)

        * Fixed a bug in Follow-Up that caused some new text typed in by
          the user to be colored in the quoted-text color rather than the
          normal text color.  Thanks to Michael McIntyre for reporting
          this bug. (75993)

        * If a yenc block ends without a "=yend", or a uu block ends
          without an "end", treat the block as plaintext instead of encoded
          data.  Looks like some M$ bashers are starting their posts with
          "begin 666" to tickle a similar bug in OE.  :)
          Thanks to Jason Rumney and mr_p for reporting this bug. (76358)

        * Fixed crash that occurred when trying to parse empty/corrupt
          messages.  Thanks to Jorge Salinas for reporting this bug. (78287)

        * Fixed bug that could incorrectly cause articles to become 
          marked as read.  Thanks to Jiri Kubicek for tracking this down
          and writing a fix. (77878)

        * Fixed crash that occurred when the user tried to create a new
          identity that was incomplete.  Thanks to Jef E. for reporting
          this bug. (77582)

        * Pan now uses GMT rather than local time when generating the
          timestamp for unique message ids of new posts.  When using
          local time and daylight savins ends, a date could show up
          twice.  Thanks to Mirko Liss for suggesting this. (77528)

        * Increased the default maximum number of connections for new
          servers to two, since we also default to reserving one connection
          for reading messages. Thanks to William Peterson for reporting
          this. (76867)

        * Fixed bug that was too strict on what Message-IDs to retain
          in a References: header when posting a follow-up.  Thanks to
          Colin Leroy and Jim Henderson for reporting this bug.

        * Fixed 0.11.1 branefart that moved widget focus to the thread pane,
          rather than the text pane, whenever a message was read via
          the 'N' key.  Thanks to Florian Schmidt for reporting this bug.

        * Fixed some potential connection problems. Thanks to Sven Neuhaus
          for reporting these issues. (73179)

        * The Filter Text in the Edit Rule dialog box now has a scrollbar
          when required. Thanks to  Himanshu J. Gohel for reporting this. 
          (62909) 

        * Fixed various memory leaks.
