Na versie 6.0 bèta 2 van enkele maanden geleden is nu versie 6.2 bèta 1 van NewsLeecher beschikbaar gekomen. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om op een eenvoudige manier bestanden uit nieuwsgroepen te downloaden. Het programma ondersteunt nzb-bestanden, beschikt over een SuperSearch en kan gedownloade bestanden automatisch op integriteit en volledigheid controleren, en vervolgens zelfstandig uitpakken. Het changelog voor deze release kan hieronder worden gevonden:
New:Improvements:
- Implemented a new function called "SuperBrowse" into NewsLeecher. This function makes it extremely fast and easy to browse newly posted headers in your favorite Usenet groups. To use it, simply right-click a group in NewsLeecher and select "SuperBrowse" from the popup-menu. The new SuperBrowse feature will then poll the SuperSearch service to show all new headers posted to the group.
- It is now possible to follow text message conversations through SuperSearch. Before this release, only the first reply in a text message conversation was accessible through the service.
- Added a new download option called "Save to Subject subfolder" that, when enabled, will automatically leech articles to subfolders named after the subjects of the articles / collections being downloaded. Note that this functionality can be manually triggered by using the "Leech Smart" download mode. The option can be accessed from : Settings -> Download -> Save to Subject Subfolder
Fixed:
- Full drag'n'drop support for SuperSearch favorites manager. Implemented full drag'n'drop support to the SuperSearch Favorites Manager, so it's possible move easily move favorite and 'recent' SuperSearch entries between folders.
- Improved the spam detection routine in NewsLeecher so it does not return false positives on a specific kind of legit "RAR-in-RAR" files.
- Made several smaller improvements to the SuperLeech feature to improve its accuracy and spam detection.
- Fixed bug that sometimes caused NewsLeecher dialog windows to be hidden from view, if screen resolution had been lowered.
