Pan 0.12.90 (July 9 2002)
NEW FEATURES
* Added a toolbar in the main window.
* Restored, via the new toolbar, the much-missed single-click filter
buttons from Pan 0.9.7.
* Added the ability to restore, on startup, Tasks that were still
queued the last time you exited Pan.
* Added on-the-fly spellchecking in the compose window. Thanks to
Evan Martin for writing gtkspell, the library that Pan uses to do
this, and to Michael Alger, for contributing a patch to plug
gtkspell into Pan.
UPDATES
* Eliminated the memory penalty for having tasks queued that operated
on newsgroups other than the current newsgroup. This should make
alt.binaries.* go much easier on system resources.
* Flagging messages now works across all newsgroups. Previously
articles could only be flagged for the current newsgroup.
* Better support for non-standard Subject & Author headers containing
8bit characters. Thanks to Carl Hudkins, Kang Jeong-Hee and William
Maddler for suggesting improvements in this area.
(#80002, #81181 ,#85510)
* We now use the locale to determine the group's default charset,
rather than a hard-coded 'ISO-8859-1'. Thanks to Martin Tomasek for
suggesting this. (#84995)
BUG FIXES (sorted by age)
* Fixed long-standing bug that would cause Pan to download only a
subset of bodies, when getting bodies for all headers. Thanks to Si
for reporting this. (#72555)
* Fixed 0.12.0 bug where Pan would lose the article's state when
switching newsgroups, making it difficult to see which articles has
already been saved. Thanks to Gabi Davar for reporting this. (#85445)
* Fixed 0.12.0 bug in the Composer where the reply would be corrupted
if a signature was specified that contained 8bit characters.
Thanks to Alexander Skwar for reporting this. (#85502)
* Added the character encoding to outgoing email. Thanks to Alexander
Skwar for suggesting this. (#85503)
* Fixed 0.12.0 bug in the Composer where the automatic wrapping would
corrupt the message if it contained 8bit characters. Thanks to
Alexander Skwar for reporting this. (#85508)
* Fixed long-standing bug that made it impossible to attach a rule to
a renamed newsgroup. Thanks to Carl Hudkins for reporting this.
(#85725)
* Various build fixes reported for 0.12.0. (#85968, #86203)
* Fixed 0.12.0 bug that caused sorting the articles in tabbed view
to switch to the article tab. Thanks to Fred Fraley for reporting
this. (#86409)
* Fixed 0.11.3 bug that would cause Pan to unnecessarily retry failed
tasks. Thanks to Carl Hudkins for reporting this. (#86795)
* Fixed 0.12.0 bug that didn't close the 'Are you sure you want to quit'
dialog if a user pressed 'no'. Thanks to D.m.D. Ljungmark for
reporting this. (#87518)
Pan 0.12.0 (June 18, 2002)
NEW FEATURES
* Better Internationalization: Pan can now finally display messages
and headers in their appropriate charsets and fonts (#53465, #79275)
as well as post messages in user-specified charsets (#65161).
* Added menu button "File|Work Offline" for toggling on/offline.
* Added menu button "File|Delete Last Task" (the "oops" button ;)
* Added new preferences option to get new headers, or new headers and
bodies, from subscribed groups automatically when starting Pan.
* Added support for message/partial mime content headers.
Thanks to T. Gamble for requesting this. (#80715)
CONFIGURATION
* Reduced minimum requirements to gtk2 and libxml2, for people
running minimalist systems without GNOME or KDE.
UPDATES
* Decoding attachments is now very fast and uses less memory.
* Usability improvements in
space reading (#81868),
copying articles to folders (#64867),
watching/ignoring articles (#78006),
the `next article' button (#82724),
reading a group for the first time (#82092),
underlining URLs (#65511),
displaying attachments (#67554),
saving attachments (#75591, #79338),
colors in the compose window (#80470, #75999),
logging error messages for failed posts (#69390),
and rot13'ing selected text (#72015).
* menu cleanups for GNOME Human Interface Guidelines compliance.
* New filter dialog: The article filter GUI has been changed so that
it can all be driven from keyboard accelerators, so that several
changes can be made at once for a single refiltering, and so that
subject/author filters can be kept as the user changes from one
group to another.
* Minor speed improvements in startup, article reading, threading,
and sorting.
BUG FIXES (sorted by age)
* Fixed minor 0.11.3 memory leaks.
* Fixed 0.11.3 bug that didn't allow i18n characters in users'
From: headers in new posts. (#80177)
* Fixed 0.11.2.90 bug that failed to deccode yEnc-encoded text
messages (such as .nfo files) properly when the user tried to
read them inside Pan's text pane. Thanks to William McBrine for
reporting this bug. (#75136)
* Fixed 0.11.2.90 bug that caused Pan to crash when showing a
warning dialog before posting a user's article. (#76350)
* Fixed 0.11.2 bug that didn't show HTML messages. We still don't
parse the HTML -- HTML has no place in Usenet -- but we at least
show the message now. Thanks to Himanshu J. Gohel for reporting
this bug. (#78723)
* Fixed 0.11.2 bug that let the article cache grow too large.
Thanks to Bernard Debreil for reporting this bug. (#81464)
* Fixed long-standing bug that didn't properly thread articles
that had the subject header idiom "track (n/M] part (x/y)".
Thanks to gaw zay for reporting this bug. (#80901)
* Fixed long-standing bug that could cause Pan to crash when adding
new tasks while the task manager dialog was open. Thanks to
Thomas Gamble for reporting this bug. (#82262)
* Fixed long-standing bug that could cause Pan to crash when deleting
articles which had crossposts in a group that was being unloaded by
Pan. Thanks to bickingd for reporting this bug. (#82865)
* Fixed long-standing crash when rewrapping text in the
compose window (#81258).
* Fixed long-standing bug that caused Pan to segfault on shutdown
when it could not write the threads.txt file in the data directory.
Thanks to Corey Rogers for reporting this bug. (#81080)
* Fixed long-standing bug that cuased Pan to crash sometimes
when the log view window was open. (#65617)

grouplist file was corrupt. Thanks to Adam M for reporting
this bug. (#72435)
Pan 0.11.94 (June 7, 2002)

articles which had crossposts in a group that was being unloaded by

new tasks while the task manager dialog was open. Thanks to
Thomas Gamble for reporting this bug. (#82262)

Pan 0.11.93 (May 21, 2002)
NEW FEATURES
* Added support for message/partial mime content headers.
Thanks to T. Gamble for requesting this. (#80715)
UPDATES
* Tweak to `space reading': if a user selects an article without
reading it, pressing the space key will then display that

pressing the space key will jump to the selected group. Thanks to
William Wu for reporting issues that led to this feature. (#81868)
* Some menu cleanups: `space reading' is back in; a shortcut for
`delete last task' has been added, and the menus are now
compliant with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
* Decoding attachments takes less memory and much less disk space.
* Minor speed improvements in startup and article reading.
BUG FIXES
* Fixed 0.11.91 bug that made tabbed-mode reading difficult to
use. Thanks to Roman Moeller for reporting this bug. (#81726)

bottom of long articles when reading them in 'zoom' mode.
Thanks to Kang Jeong Hee for reporting this bug. (#76110)

users' color preferences seriously. (#80739)

Thanks to Bernard Debreil for reporting this bug. (#81464)

NEW FEATURES
* Added menu button "File|Work Offline" for toggling on/offline
* Added menu button "File|Delete Last Task"; ie, the "oops" button :)
* Pan's window title now indicated how many articles are selected.
This makes life easier when checking to see if all the parts of
a rar post are present. (#79338)
* Pan now puts the architecture in the User Agent header. Thanks to
Colin Leroy for contributing this code. (#81029)
UPDATES
* Other Miscellaneous changes (#75999)
* Slightly faster deleting articles and marking articles read.
BUG FIXES
* Fixed 0.11.91 cut-and-paste bug that could cause article bodies
to be saved in the wrong location. Thanks to Colin Leroy for
reporting this bug. (#75591)
* Fixed 0.11.91 bug that caused threads sometimes not to be expanded.
Thanks to Frank Van Damme for reporting this bug.
* Fixed some 0.11.91 menu typos reported by Marcel Telka.

posted message.
* Fixed 0.11.2.90 bug that failed to deccode yEnc-encoded text
messages (such as .nfo files) properly when the user tried to
read them inside Pan's text pane. Thanks to William McBrine for
reporting this bug. (#75136)
* Fixed long-standing bug that didn't create user-specified
directories when saving article bodies via "Save As...".
Thanks to Colin Leroy for reporting this bug and submitting
a patch. (#80292)

that had the subject header idiom "track (n/M] part (x/y)".

when it could not write the threads.txt file in the data directory.
Thanks to Corey Rogers for reporting this bug. (#81080)
Pan 0.11.91 (April 28, 2002)
NEW FEATURES
* Added a user-configurable per-group default charset to use
when converting messages that don't specify their own charset.
In 0.11.90 Pan didn't know how to convert messages that didn't
specify a charset and just left the message blank.
Thanks for Frank Van Damme for reporting this. (#79275)
* Added new preferences option to get new headers from
subscribed groups automatically when starting Pan.
UPDATES
* Call bind_textdomain_codeset() when starting Pan to set the
output codeset for message translations.
Thanks to Kang JeongHee for suggesting this. (#78158)
* Refined `rot13 article body' to `rot13 selected text', since
most rot13ed text is just punchlines or a spoiler paragraph,
rather than an entire body. Thanks to jim at cosx for
suggesting this. (#72015)
* Added `%g' and `%G' substitution fields into the download
directory path. If used these will be replaced with
the.group.name/ and the/group/name/ when saving articles.
Thanks to Hans Verkuil for this suggestion. (#75591)
BUG FIXES
* The single-keystroke hotkeys (like 'n' for next article), which
disappeared in 0.11.90, are back! (#75478) (#78528)
* Fixed major memory leak in 0.11.90 that didn't free pictures
that were read inline.
* Fix bug that kept 0.11.90 from compiling on platforms that
can't take a NULL in a function expecting a va_list.
Thanks to chaton.jm for reporting this bug. (#78112)
* Fixed 0.11.90 bug that didn't clear out the previous contents of
the compose window before adding the contents from the external
editor. Thanks to Kang JeongHee for suggesting this. (#74885)

not work properly. Thanks to Philip Langdale for reporting
this bug. (#79669)

displaying it in the Task Manager window. Thanks to
Kang Jeong-Hee for reporting this bug. (#80004)
* Synchronize with 0.11.3 bugfixes that were made after 0.11.90
was released. (#73179) (#62909) (#78287)
* Fixed 0.11.2 bug that didn't show HTML messages. We still don't
parse the HTML -- HTML has no place in Usenet -- but we at least
show the message now. Thanks to Himanshu J. Gohel for reporting
this bug. (#78723)
* If an article was selected (for, say, a context menu operation),
then clicking on the same article again wouldn't download & display
the article; you had to double-click, which was nonintuitive.
Now clicking on an already-selected article will download & display
the article. Thanks to Dan Hensley for reporting this bug. (#78557)
* Other miscellaneous changes (#79377) (#69390)
Pan 0.11.3 (Apr 18, 2002)

* Fixed crash that occurred when parsing empty/corrupt messages.
Thanks to Jorge Salinas for reporting this bug. (#78287)
* Fixed crash that occurred when the user tried to create a new
identity that was incomplete. Thanks to Jef E. for reporting
this bug. (#77582)
* Increased the default maximum number of connections for new
servers to two, since we also default to reserving one connection
for reading messages. Thanks to William Peterson for reporting
this. (#76867)
* Fixed bug that could incorrectly cause articles to become
marked as read. Thanks to Jiri Kubicek for some great sleuthing
to find and patch this bug. (#77878)
* Fixed bug that was too strict on what Message-IDs to retain
in a References: header when posting a follow-up. Thanks to
Colin Leroy and Jim Henderson for reporting this bug.
* Pan now uses GMT rather than local time when generating the
timestamp for unique message ids of new posts. When using
local time and daylight savins ends, a date could show up
twice. Thanks to Mirko Liss for suggesting this. (#77528)
* Fixed 0.11.1 branefart that moved widget focus to the thread pane,
rather than the text pane, whenever a message was read via
the 'N' key. Thanks to Florian Schmidt for reporting this bug.
* Fixed some potential news server connection problems.
Thanks to Sven Neuhaus for reporting these issues. (#73179)
* Fixed gui lockup bug that occured when changing groups while
the log viewer was open. (#77909)

when needed. Thanks to Himanshu J. Gohel for reporting this.
(#62909)
Pan 0.11.90 (April 5, 2002)
NEW FEATURES
* Better Internationalization: Pan can now finally display messages
and headers in their appropriate charsets and fonts, as well as
post messages in user-specified charsets.
* Much Smaller Library Requirements: Pan 0.11.90 no longer requires
Gnome. This is to make Pan easier to install on smaller systems,
and to leave the door open for a Windows port of 0.12.0. We love
Gnome and will be adding _optional_ Gnome features back soon.
* New Filter UI: The article filter GUI has been changed so that it
can all be driven from keyboard accelerators, so that several
changes can be made at once for a single refiltering, and so that
subject/author filters can be kept as the user changes from one
group to another.
* Better Display of Images: The awkwardness of combining text and
inline images in 0.12.x has been cleaned up thanks to
improvements in gtk2.
Pan 0.11.2.91 (Mar 29 2002)
NEW FEATURES
* Added the ability to specify which characters are recognized
as quote prefix characters, so nonconformists not using '>' to
quote text will still have their articles colored right in Pan. :)
Thanks to Colin Leroy for contributing this code. (#68159, 75916)
* Added "Go to previous article" navigation button. Thanks to
Colin Leroy for contributing this patch. (#75716)
UPDATES
* Add a new preference option, dictating whether failed tasks should
be removed from the Task Manager. Unconditionally clearing the queue
didn't go down too well with some of the leechers. ;-) Thanks to
Aric S. Campling <denim@hosers.org> for suggesting this. (#75186)
* Added support for mime articles which explicitly specify a
Content-Transfer-Encoding of x-uuencode. Thanks to Sam Solon and
Jeff Stedfast for this code. (#74798)
* Make sure that the default window size is large enough that a
full line, up to the default number of wrap characters and with
the default font, will fit without scrolling. Thanks to John Mellor
for suggesting this obvious-in-hindsight improvement. :) (#76062)
BUG FIXES
* Fixed a memory corruption bug in decoding yEnc messages.
Thanks to Bill Cattell for reporting this bug. (#74946)
* Fixed a crash that occurred when Pan couldn't connect to the news
server. Thanks to Aurelien Gouny for reporting this bug. (#70858)
* Fixed a bug in Follow-Up that caused some new text typed in by
the user to be colored in the quoted-text color rather than the
normal text color. Thanks to Michael McIntyre for reporting
this bug. (#75993)
* If a yenc block ends without a "=yend", or a uu block ends
without an "end", treat the block as plaintext instead of encoded
data. Looks like some M$ bashers are starting their posts with
"begin 666" to tickle a similar bug in OE. :)
Thanks to Jason Rumney and mr_p for reporting this bug. (#76358)
Pan 0.11.2.90 (Mar 15 2002)
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)
* Better handling for the case where the 'Followup-To:' header
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.
(#68770)
* Fixed a crash that occurred when sending mail from a system that
didn't have a resolvable hostname. Thanks to T'aZ for reporting
this bug. (#74129)
* Fixed various memory leaks.
Pan 0.11.2 (Feb 11, 2002)
BUG FIXES
* Fixed bug that incorrectly parsed some command-line arguments
passed to the external editor when composing messages. This
caused some external editors to not communicate with Pan properly.
* Fixed another crash that occurred when emptying groups. Thanks to
Carl Hudkins and Alex Evonosky for reporting this bug. (#70457)
* Fixed small 0.11.1 memory leak.
* Fixed long-standing bug that caused "Show All Headers" to not
display mime headers.

arcane circumstances. Thanks to Torbjorn Olofsson for
reporting this bug.

not be displayed if the user started up Pan in zoom mode.
Thanks to Stefan Van Theemsche and Douglas Bollinger
for reporting this bug.

wide to fit even on large screens.

for reporting this bug.

signal when a news server connection closed unexpectedly.
Thanks to Alen Williams for reporting this bug.

properly on at least one older NNTP server. Thanks to
Avtar Marwaha for reporting this bug and to Marc Prud'hommeaux
for providing this patch.
* Fixed 0.10.0.93 bug that caused crossposts to not be marked
as read when a single article or entire group is marked as
read.
* Fixed 0.10.0.93 memory leak that didn't free all article
information on duplicate or user-deleted articles.

rather than the typical one left-click, to pop down the
context menu in the article pane. Thanks to Devin Carraway
for reporting this bug. (#69170)

UPDATES

to include alloca.h. Thanks to Alan Young for reporting this.

Dan Hensley, and others for reporting this.
Pan 0.11.1.90 (Jan 7, 2002)
NEW FEATURES
* The thread pane now looks many GUI mail clients in that it
boldfaces articles with new replies and greys out read articles
to show which articles are new, unread, and old. Also, when a
thread is collapsed, the subject column will tell how many new
replies are in the collapsed thread. Thanks to Jed Baer,
Douglas Bollinger, and Andreas Ollinger for working these ideas
through to consensus on the pan-users mailing list.
* Added support for Microsoft Secure Password Authentication ("SPA")
so that Pan will work with Microsoft NNTP servers. Thanks to the
Samba team for writing the SPA authentication code and to
Marc Prud'hommeaux for plugging it into Pan!

Thanks to Simos Xenitellis for contributing this.

to specific GTK themes. Thanks to T'Az and Krishna Naik for reporting
this problem.

in the Identity Editor. Incomplete identities can no longer be
entered. Thanks to nhodge1 for reporting this bug. (#67311)
* Fixed bug that caused Pan to crash when an invalid rules xml file
was read. Thanks to Roger Gregory for reporting this bug. (#67657)

in the "Get New Headers" command.

Thanks to Uli Wachowitz for suggesting this feature.

exists, but Pan is unable to read this (e.g. permissions). Thanks
to Joris Lambrecht for reporting this bug.

* Fixed bug that caused the CPU to peg at 100% when the user
hit the "empty group" button.
* Fixed bug that caused filtering on complete/incomplete multiparts to

articles in 0.11.0.90. D'oh!
* Fixed 0.11.0 bug that, when an empty group was activated, Pan would
go to the server twice for new headers instead of once. In addition
to pointless load, if you were really unlucky there would be one or
two new articles in the second load, marking the ones from the first
run and leaving you scratching your head "how did I just download a
batch of old articles from a new group?" :)
Pan 0.11.0.90 (Nov 14, 2001)
NEW FEATURES

reporting this bug.

Alan Young for reporting these problems and submitting a patch.

for reporting this bug.

column to use when reloading a group. Thanks to Alen Williams for
reporting this bug.

they were downloaded into the current group. Thanks to
Himanshu J. Gohel for reporting this bug. #62913

groups tasks in reverse order. #62969
* Fixed bug in the rot13 code that truncated lines when they
encountered characters like , , or . Thanks to Nightshade
for reporting this bug.
