Woensdag is de elfde bètarelease van NewsLeecher 4.0 verschenen. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om op een eenvoudige manier bestanden uit nieuwsgroepen te downloaden. NewsLeecher heeft ondersteuning voor nzb-bestanden, beschikt over een zogeheten super search, en kan gedownloade bestanden automatisch op integriteit en volledigheid controleren en vervolgens zelfstandig uitpakken. In deze release is een verandering aangebracht aan de manier waarop bestanden tijdelijk worden opgeslagen, dus het wordt aangeraden om voor het installeren eerst een backup van alle bestanden te maken. Het volledige changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
Note:New feature:
- This beta release makes a small change to the cache file format. It is recommended that you make a backup of your NewsLeecher data before installing.
Improved features:
- Added a "Copy to Clipboard" function to the log window toolbar. The function can be used to copy the visible part of the log window contents to the clipboard.
Fixed bugs:
- The time it takes to add articles to the transfer queue, has, in some extreme cases where the size of the transfer queue is very very large, been reduced substatially.
- Optimized one of the transfer queues disk cache files, resulting in faster load / save time, and a ~10x reduction of size of that specific cache file.
- Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where the new article download save system didn't always work as expected.
- Fixed bug where all group headers would be re-fetched from the server, if all locally stored group headers were manually deleted from cache, using the "Delete from Cache" feature.
- Fixed bug where temporary download files were not always deleted like they were supposed to.
- Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where downloaded articles were sometimes (rarely) corrupted.
- Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where a "Unknown Temp Folder" dialog would sometimes popup when closing NewsLeecher.
- Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where the 'Get Latest X Headers' feature didn't work under certain circumstances.
- Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where the thumb preview panel didn't work properly.
- Smaller fixes. (TAB flickering fixed, drop down combobox issue fixed, etc.)
