http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/0.13.3/

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

This release contains a huge list of bugfixes, a few big speedups, and a handful of usability improvements.

There have been four betas since the last stable release to shake out any new bugs caused by all these changes.

Changes since 0.13.2
