[Pan-users] ANN: Pan 0.13.3.91

[Charles Kerr]

Hi all,
Tarballs are up now, binaries will be up as they're contributed.
Note that Christophe, who usually rolls the Red Hat 7 binaries,
is offline for a few weeks, so I need someone else to volunteer
to roll RPMs for that platform.

cheers,
Charles

        Jan 31, 2003 - New Release:                                      
        0.13.3.91 - "How did the starling get into the bar?"             
        http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/0.13.3.91/            
                                                                         
        What is Pan?                                                     
                                                                         
          Pan is a newsreader which attempts to be pleasing to both new  
          and experienced 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.             
                                                                         
        About 0.13.3.91                                                  
                                                                         
          This release adds some very nice features -- an improved task  
          manager, more options in filtering, preferences for            
          coloring-coding signatures, read, and unread threads -- and a  
          handful of bugfixes.                                           
                                                                         
          Since this release wound up having more new code than usual,   
          please remember that this is beta code and to report any bugs  
          you find. Thanks.
