Er is een nieuwe build van Sick Beard uitgebracht. Dit programma kan in de gaten houden wanneer er nieuwe afleveringen beschikbaar zijn van je favoriete tv-serie en of er afleveringen van betere kwaliteit te vinden zijn. Daarnaast kan het enige uniformiteit in de naamgeving aanbrengen, en is het mogelijk om afleveringen te downloaden van usenet en in mindere mate via BitTorrent. Het programma is in python geschreven en daardoor op diverse besturingssystemen te gebruiken. De ontwikkeling bevindt zich in een vroeg stadium en het programma wordt dan ook nog als alfa aangeboden. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
Changelog for build 497:
- Rewrite of the renaming ability of sickbeard so that it is much more flexible. Pull #425
- SB-API bumped to v3. Pull #415
Changed the SB-API number scheme from a decimal to a whole number to eliminate the IEEE floating point issue that plagues python 2.5. (0.2 -> 3) Several commands updated to reflect custom_naming related changes. Such as season_folder is now flatten_folders with the logic inverse. Also some additional fields were added to the episode command. episode.setstatus was modified to allow requesting a whole season besides just an episode along with being able to replace or skip existing downloaded files.- Prune and cleanup of SickBeard's CSS/HTML/JS. Pull #431
- Created new favicon and apple-touch-icon to cover iOS and Android devices (fallback).
- Changed the notifier icons from 16x16 to ?x24 variants. Created all notifier images from official logos or higher quality sources, trimmed extra whitespace and used png.
- Added bootstrap (from twitter) to the project and used their built in classes and helpers to streamline CSS. Also redid the SB menu leveraging their navbar and dropdown components.
