Pan 0.11.2 Released

Over thirty bugs have been fixed in the stable branch since 0.11.1. During that time there were also five betas to weed out any new bugs. In addition 0.11.2 is also faster, uses less memory, and adds many small improvements to the user interface. Changes Since 0.11.1:

New Features
• The thread pane now looks like 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!

• Added the ability to specify, on a per-Profile basis, the
  domain name to be used in the Message-Id header in new posts.
  This can be used to point to your proper domain or just
  for privacy's sake.

• Added the option to have all threads expanded by default.
  Thanks to Bas Mevissen for submitting a patch for this
  feature.

• Pan now has a Greek translation!
  Thanks to Simos Xenitellis for contributing this.

Updates
• The Preferences and Filter Editor dialogs now fit on 800x600 screens.
• We now support POSIX extended regular expression syntax,
  giving us support for operators like '?'. Thanks to
  Chris Petersen for suggesting this.

• Better error reporting on disk I/O errors
  (full disk, permissions errors, etc.)

• Slightly faster download and display of articles.
• The ``Directory'' field in the ``Save As'' dialog now handles
  ~ correctly as shorthand for the users' home directory.

Bug Fixes
• Fixed huge 0.11.1 memory leak.
• Fixed crash that could sometimes occur when cancelling tasks or
  going offline from the Task Manager.

• Fixed crash when overriding the system defaults for article
  foreground and background colors. This crash seems to be related
  to specific GTK themes. Thanks to T'Az and Krishna Naik for reporting
  this problem.

• Fixed crash that occurred when incomplete identities were entered
  in the Profile Editor. Incomplete profiles 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)

• Fixed crash that seemed to happen for no reason when reading new
  articles.

• Fixed bug that caused Pan to crash when reading an article.
• Fixed thread safety bug in the article cache.
• Fixed thread safety bug in the Task Manager backend. Thanks
  very much to Christian Suder for reporting this bug.

• Fixed 0.10.0.93 bug that caused a GUI lockup under arcane
  circumstances when reading articles.

• Fixed a couple of long-standing GUI thread bugs that could corrupt
  data or lock up Pan.

• Fixed bug that caused some attachments to be decoded incorrectly.
  Thanks to Dave at dalrun for reporting this bug.

• Fix the "group->_article == NULL" assertion failure when
  loading a group.

• Fixed bug that improperly hid new replies that were in
  collapsed threads. The top-level articles should have been
  showed in boldface to indicate that the thread had new replies.

• Fixed bug that caused the first group to be loaded during a Pan
  session to not be filtered properly. Thanks to Douglas Bollinger,
  Dan Hensley, and others for reporting this.

• Double-clicking a URL would open up to three browsers if the
  browser wasn't already running. Thanks to Mart van de Wege for
  reporting this. (68009)

• Fixed bug that accidentally downloaded a couple of old articles
  in the "Get New Headers" command.

• If Followup-To is set to 'poster', only send the article as an
  email. Thanks to Christian Lohmaier for reporting this bug.

• Fixed mistake in 0.11.1 that used "supercede" instead of "supersede"
  when superseding articles.

• Fixed bug in importing grouplists from Pan version 0.9.6 and older.
  Thanks to Brandon McCombs for reporting this bug.

• Fixed bug that made it appear that, when retrying a download
  after the first try failed or the user went offline, all the
  articles in the task needed to be re-downloaded. Pan no longer
  looks like it's re-downloading articles it already has.

• Fixed gmime build errors that occurred on platforms that need
  to include alloca.h. Thanks to Alan Young for reporting this.

• 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.

• Fixed long-standing bug that required two left-clicks,
  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)

• Fixed a long-standing NNTP server connection corruption bug.
• Now handles '~' in the TMPDIR environmental variable.
  Thanks to Jukka Salmi for suggesting this change.
