Pan 0.12.94, `Are we There Yet?',
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 yEnc, 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/ for the rest of the
sales pitch.
About 0.12.94
This, the fifth 0.13.0 beta, fixes a couple of bugs with reading
non-English articles.
0.13.0 will be released this week, in time for bundling with the
new Red Hat and Mandrake releases, so this is a dry run to make
sure we haven't screwed anything up at the last minute. We strongly
encourage testers to torture this final beta and report any bugs.
A revision number of 90 or higher is used to flag this release
as a beta without confusing RPM with the name `0.13.0-pre5'.

* Try harder to display articles whose newsreaders lied

the header pane, causing some strings to be truncated or lost.
