Gisteren is versie 3.95 bèta 1 van Newsleecher uitgebracht, als opvolger van de halverwege juni verschenen versie 3.91 bèta 2. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om op een eenvoudige manier bestanden van nieuwsgroepen te downloaden. Newsleecher heeft ondersteuning voor nzb-bestanden, beschikt het over een zogenaamde 'super search' en kunnen bestanden automatisch op volledigheid worden gecontroleerd en vervolgens worden uitgepakt. In deze versie zijn een groot aantal veranderingen doorgevoerd en er wordt daarom aangeraden om voor het installeren eerst een backup van de huidige instellingen te maken. Hieronder is het changelog van deze release te vinden:
Changes in 3.95 beta 1:[break]
- Please note that the listview column settings (width, visibility, etc) have been reset in this release, due to a bug in the previous beta release.
- NewsLeecher now uses a new license key system, which makes it possible to register NewsLeecher without going to the members area. Note that this is a pretty major change, so there might be a few new betas coming out soon after this one, containing fixes and tweaks related to this change.
- Implemented 3 new skins for the interface in NewsLeecher. The skins can be accessed by the buttons on the right side of the main toolbar.
- Lots of the GUI elements which have never been skinnable, now are. Including the 'please wait' window, the bandwidth graphs, etc..
- It's now possible to replace exisiting SuperSearch bookmarks.
- NewsLeecher now stores 10 rotating backups of the NewsLeecher settings file, "setup.dat", in the "%appdata%\newsleecher\backups\" folder. The backups might be good to have if some of your NewsLeecher settings get deleted, or your setup.dat file corrups for some reason.
- Implemented new feature which makes it possible to show custom messages to the user when NewsLeecher is launched.
- Implemented a new file manager feature, which makes it possible to easily combine/merge selected files in the NewsLeecher File Manager. This can be useful when combining HDTV '.TS' files for example. The feature can be accessed from the 'toolbox' popup placed on the 'Explorer' toolbar.
- Implemented a new file manager feature, which makes it possible to easily create folders based on the names of the files selected in the NewsLeecher File Manager. The feature can be accessed from the 'toolbox' popup placed on the 'Explorer' toolbar.
- NewsLeecher now fully supports networked folder paths for downloading and Repair'n'Extract operations.
- Clicking a 'folder' bookmark on the NewsLeecher File Explorer tab, while holding down the CTRL or Shift key, will open the bookmarked folder in a Windows Explorer window, instead of the internal file explorer window.
- Lots of smaller graphical user interface inconsistencies have been corrected.
- The "Automatic Backup" feature now also backups the state of the Repair'n'Extract sets.
- When launching, NewsLeecher can now detect whether the main settings file, "setup.dat", is corrupted. If it is, instructions on how to restore a "setup.dat" backup (new backup feature described above), will be shown to the end-user.
- The CPU usage has been decreased dramatically under certain circumstances, when updating groups. Especially noticable when updating picture groups.
- The speed of the "Smart Select" feature has been improved several hundred percent over the speed in previous releases.
- Improved error checking performed by Repair'n'Extract.
- Many small improvements. (More data stored in main setup.dat settings file, instead of using multiple separate files)
- Fixed bug where Repair'n'Extract would (rarely) unpause incorrect PAR2 repair files in the download queue, in case many PAR2 sets with almost similar named were queued for RnE.
- Fixed bug where the 'Export to NZB' option didn't always work when exporting headers which had just been received from the usenet
- Lots of smaller bugfixes here and there. (Connections Panel couldn't always be resized, better unicode support, etc.)
