Eergisteren is de vijfde bètarelease van versie 3.9 van NewsLeecher uitgekomen. Dit programma wordt veelal beschouwd als een van de betere in zijn soort en is bedoeld voor het binnenhalen van binaire bestanden uit nieuwsgroepen. Zo heeft het ondersteuning voor nzb-bestanden, beschikt het over een zogenaamde 'super search' en kunnen bestanden automatisch op hun volledigheid worden gecontroleerd en vervolgens worden uitgepakt. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
Changes in version 3.9 beta 5:[break]
- Due to popular request, the 'Move Small Articles to Top of Transfer Queue' feature has been readded.
- Added a "Find in SuperSearch" feature to the transfer queue. It can be accessed from the queue popup menu.
- The 'Pause Download' filter will now be ignored for articles which are added to the queue in non traditional leech modes, such as 'Open' / 'Execute' Mode, 'Show Header' Mode, 'Download Raw' Mode, etc..
- Improved the "Collapse Virtual Groups" feature introduced in the previous beta, so 'Uncategorizes' groups are never collapsed.
- Repair'n'Extract will now, optionally, remove excess PAR2 set files from the transfer queue, right after having verified that the set is OK. Previously excess files were not removed until after a set archive had been unpacked.
- The 'subscribed groups' dropdown menu has been improved. The virtual groups in the dropdown menu now have the same collapsed/expanded states as the virtual groups in the 'subscribed groups' listview.
- Tweaked parts of the NewsLeecher source in various places.
- Fixed bug from beta 2, where the Repair'n'Extract didn't always recognise articles in the transfer queue, if the transfer queue filter was in use.
- Various other smaller bugfixes.
