Zojuist is de derde bètarelease van versie 3.0 van NewsLeecher uitgekomen. Met dit programma kunnen op Usenet berichten uit nieuwsgroepen worden gelezen en bestanden worden gedownload. NewsLeecher kan onder andere van meerdere servers tegelijkertijd downloaden, heeft ondersteuning voor yEnc-codering en kan tot maximaal 99 threads tegelijkertijd afhandelen. In deze release zijn de volgende veranderingen doorgevoerd:
Changes in 3.0 beta 3:[break]
- Added a 'single click activate' option for the 'group view' menu on the 'active group' page.
- New 'Rename Group' feature that allows one to locally rename groups to more human readable names in the group manager.
- Reintroduced the 'active group' dropdown box due to popular request.
- Added an option to see the 'total download size' for all servers combined.
- Moved 'Log', 'News', 'XPAT Search' and 'Posting Queue' tabs to a subtab called 'Advanced', to unclutter the main UI. Making it more simple.
- Minor redesign of the main toolbar. (Preparing it for full text reader functionality in NewsLeecher v4.0)
- Lots of small visual improvements.
- Fixed a serious bug that sometimes caused NewsLeecher to change some security settings in the registry. More info.
- 'Auto Update Active Group' didn't work. Fixed!
- 'Export to NZB' didn't work with singlepart articles when exporting from the 'Active Group' view. Fixed. (Bug was introduced in 3.0 beta 2)
