Zondag is versie 0.6.2 van NNTPGrab verschenen. Met dit programma kunnen bestanden van usenet worden gedownload. NNTPGrab kan uiteraard overweg met nzb-bestanden, is in staat om automatisch par2-bestanden te verwerken en kan verschillende usenet-servers tegelijk raadplegen. De software wordt onder opensource-licentie uitgegeven en is beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux en Mac OS X. Versie 0.6.1 is een bugfix-release en lost onder andere het vastlopen van het programma onder Mac OS X op. Hieronder is het volledige changelog van deze release te vinden.
Changes in NNTPGrab version 0.6.2:
- Added support for Windows x64
- When connecting to servers, keep the results of all DNS lookups in a cache so reconnecting can be done faster. This should also lower the possibility of the error message 'No hostname could be found for servername x' from occuring
- Automatically retry connecting to usenet servers when a connection error has occured. This should fix a bug where the download queue could hang when the network connection is unstable
- Very small files could get stuck in the download queue. Fixed
- In a rare situation, the program could deadlock while trying to remove a file from the download queue. Fixed
- Really disable activating the automatic import on Mac OS X
- Fixed a crash which could occur on shutdown on Win32/Win64 environments
- When a network disconnect is discovered by the NetworkManager plugin, the download queue would always get stopped, even when the download queue was inactive. Improved the handling of this situation
- Don't wait for active decode actions to be completed before applying configuration changes. This fixes a temporary hang or a deadlock which could occur when changing something in the configuration while a file is being decoded
- The download queue could get in an undefined state when applying multiple configuration changes very quick after each other. Fixed
- When using collection names > 128 characters some error messages could pop up while adding files or performing a PAR2 repair or an unpack. Fixed
