Panic is happy to announce the release of Unison 1.7, a significant update to our popular, user-friendly, and powerful Mac OS X Usenet newsreader! Unison 1.7 offers many improvements and fixes, but most importantly adds binary uploading / posting, a much-requested feature. Users can now post a file to Usenet with a single click, including the ability to easily split large files into smaller files, and automatically create PAR2 recovery sets if desired. Unison 1.7 is a free upgrade for all users!
