ANN: Pan 0.10.0.93 "Little Leprechaun" Announced



Pan 0.10.0.93, "Little Leprechaun", 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 0.10.0.93

	This is a big bugfix release: for once I'm unable to crash Pan in
	heavy torture testing. Undoubtedly you'll be able to correct this
	situation. :)

        The improbable version number is to indicate that this is a beta
        between 0.10.0 and 0.10.1, without confusing RPM with sane,
        human-readable phrases like "beta".

Changes between 0.10.0.92 and 0.10.0.93

    UPDATES

        * Added Preferences option to toggle custom foreground/background
          colors in the text pane vs. using the default gtk theme colors.
          Thanks to Justin Piszcz for suggesting this.

    BUG FIXES

        * Fixed problems with different threads manipulating articles
          concurrently.  This should fix some of the bugs recently reported
          which are irreproducable but all similar.

        * Articles' memory management is now tied to an article refcount
          of the group which owns them.  This resolves the Article life
          cycle issues like "what happens if a rule deletes an article that
          articlelist is drawing?" and "what if an article is expired while
          a person's reading it?" etc.

        * Fixes bug that caused some Tasks to get stuck in an Abort state
          even if they completed successfully.

        * Fixed bug that caused Tasks to sometimes not get run in the queue
          until another task was added to give it a bump.  Thanks to
          Douglas Kilpatrick for tracking down this bug. 

        * Fixes for creating/saving negated filter conditions.  Thanks to
          Jed S. Baer for reporting this bug.

        * Fixed small but nasty memory corruption bug when saving attachments.

        * Fixes bug that didn't disconnect correctly from the news server
          when an error occurred while saving attachments.

        * Show the correct linecount in the Header Pane for multipart
          binaries when reposts are included in the multipart thread.

        * Fix bug that caused Pan to crash when it was started in zoom mode.
          Thanks to Leo Lipelis for reporting this bug.

        * Fix in GMime for Debian and Solaris charsets.  Thanks to
          Volodymyr M. Lisivka for submitting a patch to GMime.

        * Wrap excessively long email addresses in the header display
          so that Pan's window doesn't strech off the screen.  Thanks to
          David Watson for reporting this bug.
