Vandaag is de negende 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, kleine bestanden die beschrijven waar bepaalde binairies zich op usenet bevinden, zodat ook in dit geval niet nodig is om eerst alle headers binnen te halen. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
Note:If you're registered NewsLeecher user, you must update your licensekey to use this release of NewsLeecher. Just launch NewsLeecher and follow the instructions onscreen to update the key.
New feature:Improved features:
- The license expiration date shown on the about dialog, will now be updated everytime NewsLeecher is launched. So when more licensetime is given to registered users, due to downtime, etc, it will be shown on the about dialog on next application launch. Note: NewsLeecher must be able to load the integrated 'News' page to be able to use this new functionality.
