De eerste release candidate van versie 6.42 van NewsBin Pro is verschenen. Met dit programma kunnen bestanden - zoals foto's, films en programma's - van usenet worden gehaald. Nieuw in versie 6.42 is onder meer dat de download nu in een folder gezet kan worden die een naam krijgt die het programma zelf uit het onderwerp haalt. In deze release candidate is nog een probleem verholpen. Het volledige changelog ziet er als volgt uit:
Version 6.42 New Features and ChangesVersion 6.42 Release Candidate 1 Build 2135
- Bug fixes and cosmetic changes to 6.41
- Changed behavior of "Download to Folder Named for Subject". It is now configurable to either use the subject of the first file in the list of selected files or download to folders named after each subject of each file in the list.
- Fixed potential crash problem that occured if a news server returned some unexpected response.
- Fixed issue with a misleading error appearing if there was a timeout performing an Internet Search.
Issues:
- Fixed but with timeout values. Was causing Internet Search to timeout prematurely as well as some access to the news servers. This was an intermittent issue that seems to be solved now.
- New "+" icon on Search tab for requesting more search results switches to old icon when you load a post list.
- Drag and Drop to order the Groups list in the Groups tab is not hooked up, nor can you column sort the groups.
- There have been reports that Newsbin isn't saving the correct renamed files to descript.ion file.
- Newsbin renames the file on disk and then lands the file. Without re-writing the descript.ion, there's no way to fix this.
- Works on Windows XP and newer.
- Crosspost filters in the Add Groups dialog are not hooked up.
- SMTP Authentication for email notification is not hooked up.
