Tarballs are up now, RPM contributions are strongly encouraged.
As usual I'll wait a day before making freshmeat / gnome-announce
announcements to let the RPM builders do their magic.

August 27, 2003 - New Release:
0.14.1 - "This is not a psychotic episode. It's a cleansing moment of clarity."
http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/0.14.1/
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 0.14.1
This release adds faster article loading/saving/threading/sorting, better
scorefile integration, and over fifty other bugfixes, usability improvements,
and portability changes. There have also been seven beta releases since
0.14.0
to shake out any new bugs caused by these changes.
