Pan 0.11.2.90, "Reverse the Polarity of the Neutron Flow", 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 0.11.2.90
This version adds support for the yEnc encoding scheme. We've also
incorporated a number of usability suggestions, along with a handful
of bug fixes.
A revision number of >= 90 is used to flag this release as a beta
without confusing RPM's feeble brain with a name like "0.11.3-pre1".
What's New in 0.11.2.90
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)
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)
* If an article no longer exists on the news server, tasks to read
that article are now automatically removed from the Task Manager.
Thanks to John Mellor for reporting this. (71992)
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 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)

contains an email address. Thanks to Mike Brodbelt for suggesting
this. (72608)
* Fixed UI bug in the Preferences that caused the <OK> button not
to activate when directly various fields. 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.
