Zojuist is de zesde bètarelease van NewsLeecher 3.5 uitgekomen. Met dit programma kunnen binaire bestanden uit nieuwsgroepen worden gedownload. Verder beschikt het over een geïntegreerde zoekfunctie (super search), zodat men niet alle headers voor een groep hoeft binnen te halen waar men bestanden uit wil downloaden. Daarnaast is er NZB-ondersteuning. Deze kleine bestanden beschrijven waar bepaalde binairies zich bevinden op usenet, zodat ook in dit geval niet alle headers hoeven te worden gedownload. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
Changes in 3.5 beta 6:[break]
- It's now possible to hide the Group Navigation Panel (GNP) completely from the 'Articles' tab.
- It's now possible to represent article dates in 4 different ways. Check "Options -> Interface" for more info.
- Readded the, so called, "Group Dropdown Box". It was readded due to popular demand and because it doesn't really interfere with the new UI changes in the NewsLeecher 3.5 series. It can be turned on / off from: MainMenu -> View -> Toolbar -> "Active Group Menu"
- It's now optional whether downloaded files that contain errors should be uppercased
- Various improvements. (Auto Data Backup is turned "on" by default, redesigned parts of the setup dialog, etc)
- Fixed a pretty serious bug that leaked memory when transfering articles and using SuperSearch. Under certain circumstances, *lots* of memory was leaked:
- LeechSmart didn't work together with the "Put Articles in Group Folders" option, when downloading from SuperSearch. Fixed:
- Global shortcut keys were not disabled while renaming files in the built-in 'Explorer'. Fixed
- "Skip Download if Already Exists" didn't work in previos beta:
- Sorting columns by "Download Folder" or "Group" didn't always work. Fixed
- Using alternative port settings for SuperSearch didn't work in previous beta. Fixed
- The SuperSearch result filter works for saved favorites again
