ANNOUNCE: Pan 0.13.1



Pan 0.13.1, `It's always funny until somebody immanentizes the eschaton',
has been released.  It can be found at http://pan.rebelbase.com/ .
 
What is Pan?

   Pan is a newsreader which attempts to be pleasing to both
   new users and power users.  In addition to the standard newsreader
   features, Pan also supports yEnc, offline newsreading,
   article filtering, multiple connections, and more 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/ for the rest of the
   sales pitch.

About 0.13.1

   This release fixes some large memory and file descriptor leaks.
   It also reintroduces custom filters into the header pane, fixes
   some charset bugs, and has redesigned dialogs to better follow
   the Gnome Human Interface Guidelines.

Changes Since 0.13.0

   NEW FEATURES

   * Custom Filters created via the Filter tool can now be applied
     to the header pane.

   * Added a compliment to the space key's ``read more'' --
     backspace now backs up a page, or if at the top of the page,
     backs up to the previous article.

   * Support automatic import/export of multiple .newsrc files
     for multiple servers.  Previously only one automatic
     .newsrc file was supported.

   UPDATES

   * Refreshed save, preferences, identities, and server dialogs
     for better keyboard navigation and better compliance with the
     Gnome Human Interface Guidelines.

     the system fonts are now used in the group/header/body panes.
     These can be overridden in Edit|Preferences|Appearance.

     is active.
