Na vijftien bètareleases is nu de eerste release candidate van NewsBin Pro versie 6.00 is uitgekomen. Dit programma is bedoeld om bestanden zoals foto's, films en programma's van usenet te halen. Deze bestanden kunnen in losse pakketjes van een of meer nieuwsservers worden gedownload en worden aan de ontvangende kant weer in elkaar gezet. In versie 6.00 is onder andere de gebruikersinterface onder handen genomen; deze maakt nu gebruik van tabs. Verder is er een Cache to Memory-optie die, als een machine over ruim voldoende geheugen beschikt, constante toegang tot de harde schijf vermindert. Op machines met minder resources kan dat echter beter uitgezet worden. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
Changes in version 6.00 Release Candidate 1 Build 965:Upgrade NOTES:
- Added support for .xtm files that have a different naming convention for splitting files
- Fixed MasterSplitter file assembly when files are damaged.
- Fixed issue entering the Server Options screen from the Servers tab. Was not applying focus on the selected server.
- Create NZB from expanded lists is now faster, uses less RAM, and no longer has the problem of double-adding posts.
- Group options dialog now lets you remove a filter profiole from a group of Group of Groups folder. If a profile isn't defined or no longer exists, it now shows as "none".
- Made changes to the Post List colors to better match the icons.
- "Mark Old" now happens when files are added to the download list, not after download.
- Fixed problem with the popup error dialog.
- Hooked up server download counters in the Server Options screen. It counts all download traffic from the server, not just file downloads.
- Now leaves the task bar icon visable even when Newsbin is restored.
- Single tab mode wasn't accurately displaying the filters.
- Fixed issue with downloads failing when downloading 2 part files and the memory cache is disabled.
- Signature cache hits (duplicate detection) or any error that sends the file to the failed list is now noted. The message is persistent across restarts.
- Error list items now show error icons in the corresponding post list.
You will want to say "Yes" to the option to "Reset Version 6 GUI?" from the installer (delete workspace.xml) with this one.
Version 6 has a new storage format for headers. You have to manually invoke the conversion if you want to bring your 5.5x headers into V6. A new spool folder, SPOOL_V6 will be created for storing headers. To invoke the conversion, select a group or a bunch of groups in the Groups tab, right-click and select Post Storage, then choose "Import Version 5.XX Headers". A progress screen will pop up and you'll have to wait for it to finish before continuing.
