I'm glad there are people interested in new versions of Pan! I should

I think there are a lot of PAN users, probably more than anybody
realizes so you may have made a lot of people happy! ;)
The new version works on gtk 2.4, but I *strongly* recommend gtk 2.8
or newer because they are so much faster, particularly in the header
pane.
You mentioned later that it uses the Windows Registry now so evidently
you have Windows version planned. Will this version allow Windows users
to use the newer versions of GTK going forward?
* It now uses standard newsrc files to know what groups a server has.
* It now uses standard newsgroups.dsc for group descriptions
* It now uses standard nzb files for making a resumable task list.
* There's now one file per group, not one per group per server.
* Many preferences settings have gone away.
(i.e., use Gnome or Windows registry to know what web browser to use)
* The data files are human-readable and -editable.
(It's never been easier to raise your connection limit past four! ;)
Is there a feature to allow us to launch an attachment from directly
inside PAN? For example a NZB attachment directly into the PAN NZB
manager, open a multimedia file.. etc?
Also, here's the screenshot. :)
It looks great! I love the way it is tweaked to have what looks like
more usable space!
