Actually, that would be a downgrade. Pan 0.113 is the newest version
of the C++ rewrite in Sid. I agree that there are still unstable
parts, although I don't tax Pan too heavily, but it is much faster than
the older versions and is the future of Pan, as I understand it.

Knode comes close, but I still prefer Pan, although the only complaint
I had against Pan about a year ago was that it did not support binary
uploads. For that I resorted to Knode as I recall.
