acme 1.99.5

'lo,

acme "Don't alight, Stars!" 1.99.5 is out.

So what's it ?
==============

This is ACME, a small tool for your laptops. It makes the small
multimedia buttons on these things actually do something. It currently
only fully supports Apple laptops (iBooks and Powerbooks), although it
should work on other systems as well.

Supported is:
- Volume keys (Mute, Volume Down, Volume Up)
- Brightness keys (kernel 2.4.18-rc2-benh minimum, only PPC)
- Eject (just launches "eject")
- Power (asks to exit the current Gnome session)

And what's new ?
================

Since 1.99.4:
- completely ported now with all deprecated calls removed
- fixed a bug with the custom eject command
- made disabled keys appear as having a "Disabled" keycode  in the prefs rather
  than "-1"
- made the prefs window non-resizable
- proper i18n setup

And where do I get it ?

Pan 0.12.0

Pan 0.12.0, "Handle all such BTs and clusters by blowing them off",
has been released.  It can be found at http://pan.rebelbase.com/.
 
What is Pan?

        Pan is a newsreader, loosely based on Agent and Gravity, which
        attempts to be pleasant to use for new and advanced users alike.
        It has all the typical features found in newsreaders and also
supports
        yEnc, offline newsreading, article filtering, multiple
connections,
        and a number of extra 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.  See
        http://pan.rebelbase.com/features/ for the rest of the
        sales pitch.

About 0.12.0

        This is the first non-beta release in two months.  In that time Pan
has
        been ported to gtk2, added font and charset handling in reading
and
        posting, improved offline reading, added many usability
improvements,
        dropped most library prerequisites, about 15 bugs from the last
stable
        release, and had five beta releases to shake out any new bugs.

Changes Since 0.11.3

    CONFIGURATION

        * Reduced minimum requirements to gtk2 and libxml2, for people
          running systems without GNOME or KDE.

    NEW FEATURES

        * Better Internationalization: Pan can now finally display
messages
          and headers in their appropriate charsets and fonts (#53465,
#79275)
          as well as post messages in user-specified charsets (#65161).

        * Added menu button "File|Work Offline" for toggling
on/offline.

        * Added menu button "File|Delete Last Task" (the
"oops" button ;)

        * Added new preferences option to get new headers, or new headers
and
          bodies, from subscribed groups automatically when starting Pan.

        * Added support for message/partial mime content headers.
          Thanks to T. Gamble for requesting this. (#80715)

    UPDATES

        * Decoding attachments is much faster and uses less overhead.

        * Usability improvements in
          space reading (#81868),
          copying articles to folders (#64867),
          watching/ignoring articles (#78006),
          the `next article' button (#82724),
          reading a group for the first time (#82092),
          underlining URLs (#65511),
          displaying attachments (#67554),
          saving attachments (#75591, #79338),
          colors in the compose window (#80470, #75999),
          logging error messages for failed posts (#69390),
          and rot13'ing selected text (#72015).

        * menu cleanups for GNOME Human Interface Guidelines compliance.

        * New filter dialog: The article filter GUI has been changed so
that
          it can all be driven from keyboard accelerators, so that
several
          changes can be made at once for a single refiltering, and so
that
          subject/author filters can be kept as the user changes from one
          group to another.

        * Minor speed improvements in startup, article reading,
threading,
          and sorting.

    BUG FIXES (sorted by age)

        * Fixed minor 0.11.3 memory leaks.

        * Fixed 0.11.3 bug that didn't allow i18n characters in users'
          From: headers in new posts. (#80177)

        * Fixed 0.11.2.90 bug that failed to deccode yEnc-encoded text
          messages (such as .nfo files) properly when the user tried to
          read them inside Pan's text pane.  Thanks to William McBrine
for
          reporting this bug. (#75136)

        * Fixed 0.11.2.90 bug that caused Pan to crash when showing a
          warning dialog before posting a user's article. (#76350)

        * Fixed 0.11.2 bug that didn't show HTML messages.  We still
don't
          parse the HTML -- HTML has no place in Usenet -- but we at
least
          show the message now.  Thanks to Himanshu J. Gohel for
reporting
          this bug.  (#78723)

          for reporting this bug. (#84987)

          charsets correctly.  Thanks to Martin Tomasek for reporting
          this bug. (#85082)

        * Fixed long-standing bug that didn't properly thread articles
          that had the subject header idiom "track (n/M] part
(x/y)".
          Thanks to gaw zay for reporting this bug. (#80901)

        * Fixed long-standing bug that could cause Pan to crash when
adding
          new tasks while the task manager dialog was open.  Thanks to
          Thomas Gamble for reporting this bug. (#82262)

        * Fixed long-standing bug that could cause Pan to crash when
deleting
          articles which had crossposts in a group that was being unloaded
by
          Pan.  Thanks to bickingd for reporting this bug. (#82865)

        * Fixed long-standing crash when rewrapping text in the
          compose window (#81258).

        * Fixed long-standing bug that caused Pan to segfault on shutdown
          when it could not write the threads.txt file in the data
directory.
          Thanks to Corey Rogers for reporting this bug. (#81080)

        * Fixed long-standing crash when switching profiles in the compose
