This is Pan, a powerful and user-friendly Usenet newsreader for GTK+. The latest info and versions of Pan can always be found at <https://pan.rebelbase.com/>. RELEASE NOTES * Keep in mind that if you have been using the localhost server with an stunnel setup and you change Pan to connect directly to the server using the actual server address, you should edit the existing server instead of creating a new entry. If you create a new entry, Pan will see this as a new server entirely even though you may be connecting to the same account as before. Your subscribed groups will be lost! By editing the existing 'localhost:119' server entry, your subscriptions will be preserved. * To get SSL support in Pan, remember to run the following command: ./configure --with-gnutls If you are building Pan from the Git code repository, run the following command: sh autogen.sh --with-gnutls * Directories to search for SSL certificates can be defined with the environment variable 'SSL_CERT_DIR' or 'SSL_DIR'. * Even if support for GNOME Keyring has been enabled at configure time and compiled in, you can now specifically disable or enable support for GNOME Keyring in Pan's GUI. To enable support, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Miscellaneous and check "Store passwords in GNOME Keyring". REQUIREMENTS Pan requires these libraries: * GLib 2.17.6 or higher <https://developer.gnome.org/glib/> (optionally Glib 2.26.0 or higher for multiple Pan instances) * GTK+ 2.16.0 or higher (optionally GTK+ 3.0.0 or higher) <https://www.gtk.org/> * GMime 2.4.0 or higher <https://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/> (optionally GMime 2.5.5 or higher for PGP cryptography support) The following libraries, which enhance Pan's functionality, are optional: * GtkSpell 2.0.7 or higher for spellchecking <https://gtkspell.sourceforge.net> (optionally GtkSpell 2.0.16 for spellchecking with GTK+ 3) * Enchant 1.6.0 or higher for spellchecking <https://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/> * libnotify 0.4.1 or higher for notifications <https://www.galago-project.org/news/index.php> * GNOME Keyring 3.2.0 or higher for password storage <https://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring> * D-Bus for multiple Pan instances <https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus> * GnuTLS 3.0.0 or higher for encrypted connections (TLS 1.0) <https://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/> Run the following command to get a list of available options that you can enable or disable at configure time: ./configure --help OBTAINING THE REQUIREMENTS Most Linux distributions make the libraries available as packages; you can also download the libraries directly from their home pages. On Debian-based systems (for example: Ubuntu), install the requirements with the following command: sudo apt-get install <REQUIREMENT> Alternatively, there is a PPA maintained by Klaus Vormweg that can be found at https://launchpad.net/~klaus-vormweg/+archive/pan On Fedora-based systems, run the following command to install the requirements: sudo yum install -y <REQUIREMENT> On Arch Linux, run the following command to invoke the package manager Pacman: sudo pacman -S <REQUIREMENT> THE SALES PITCH Pan is good for Reading News. * Pan is the only Unix newsreader to score 100% on the Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval newsreader evaluations. * Pan has keyboard bindings for mouse-free newsreading. * Basic newsreader features, such as reading and writing news, threading articles, and replying via email, are supported. * Articles can be sorted by author, date, subject, or the number of unread children in the thread. * Multiple connections are supported, so articles can be read while binaries are downloading. * Articles can be filtered by regular expression matching, read/unread state, binary/text, etc. * Works well as an offline reader. * Articles can be queued until you want to go online, and can be re-edited at any point before they're posted. * A flexible rules system allows you to delete, hide, download, or notify you of, etc. articles that match a subject, or are posted by a particular user, and so on. * The same system can be used to define automatic actions on behalf of the user: auto-download, auto-cache, auto-delete etc. * Groups can be filtered by regular expression matching subscribed/new/all, etc. Pan is good for Downloading Binaries. * Attached images can be shown inline. * Pan can download and thread articles as quickly as bandwidth allows. * uuencoded, mime, and yEnc attachments are all supported. * A task manager lets you reorder, cancel, and resubmit download tasks. * Multiple connections are supported, so many binaries can be downloaded simultaneously. * Multipart articles are automatically grouped together. * Non-binary, incomplete multipart, and saved messages can be filtered out of the article list. Pan is good for Uploading Content to Usenet. * Files can be attached to a Usenet article and are automatically yEnc-encrypted, threaded and referenced by Pan. * Articles can be encrypted and/or signed with a public/private PGP key, so your privacy and security are ensured. * Connections can be encrypted with the TLS 1.0 protocol (the successor to SSL 3.0). The rest of the sales pitch is at <https://pan.rebelbase.com/features/>. UPGRADING Upgrading typically requires that you do the exact same procedure as in the 'INSTALL' file.
