[ANNOUNCE] Pan 0.7.0 - A Newsreader for GNOME

["Charles S. Kerr" <charles skywalker ecn ou edu>]

Pan 0.7.0 has been released.
It can be found at <http://www.superpimp.org/>.

What is PAN?

	PAN stands for Pimp Ass Newsreader. It's a project with the goal to
	make a user-friendly and powerful USENET newsreader for the GNU
	Network Object Model Environment (GNOME) graphical desktop environment.
	We've designed it to loosely model popular newsreaders for Windows. 

New Features in 0.7.0

	* Added ability to download/decode more than one item at a time. A
	  thread for non-decode activity is reserved set aside so that messages
	  can be read even when the decode queue is full. 
	* Article cache management 
	* Keyboard navigation for groups, articles, unread articles 
	* Added ability to email a reply to posts 
	* "Wildmat"-style pattern matching in grouplist & find dialog.  This
	  is the style used by the find command and most shells.  In short,
	  "comp.lang*" now works. 
	* Messages can now be saved as text files. 
	* Early printing support added. (Waiting for gnome-print to finalize;
	  this is an interim fix)
	* Followup-to, reply-to, and "followup-to: poster" headers supported
	* Added ability to change servers during a download. 
	* Added new --debug command-line options
	* Group descriptions are now displayed in the grouplist. 
	* Multibyte fonts now supported
	* Article list loading sped up, again.
	* Toolbar now shows number of actions (get new groups, get new headers,
	  decode multipart, etc) queued and waiting for a server connection.
	* Better (self-evaluated) "good newskeeping seal of approval" rating
	* Better conformance to "son-of-rfc-1036" document 

And many, many bug fixes.
