Na de zesde bètarelease van NewsLeecher versie 6.5 is nu de eerste bèta van versie 7.0 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. Versie 7.0 voegt onder meer een nieuw systeem toe om naar specifieke mappen te downloaden of uit te pakken, is er een automatische detectie van par-bestanden die een verkeerde naam hebben en is het mogelijk om een filter aan te maken om zo bestanden uit een bepaalde taal uit te sluiten. De complete changelog voor deze uitgave kan hieronder worden gevonden.
NewsLeecher 7.0 Beta 1
- Lots of changes in this beta!. It is highly recommended to make a backup of your NewsLeecher settings and data before installing. The settings / data folder is usually located in the following path: %AppData%\NewsLeecher
- Implemented a "Destination Folders" system, that makes it easy to associate specific groups, SuperSearch and SuperLeech entries with certain download and RAR archive extract folders. The feature supports a simple variable system, that makes it easy to set a, say, download folder, to: C:\Downloads\<Group>\<Subject>
Where <Group> gets replaced with the Usenet group of the article to download,
and <Subject> gets replaced with the articles subject line.
The available variable names are listed on the "Destinations Folder" dialog in the NewsLeecher application. We are looking into implementing more variables.- Auto-detection of misnamed PAR2 files. Repair & Extract will now automatically check newly leeched files to see if they are misnamed PAR2 set files, belonging to one of the PAR2 sets available in the Repair & Extract listview. If a match is found, the file will automatically be renamed so it gets properly processed by Repair & Extract.
- It is now possible to manually initiate a PAR2 misname check, by activating the context menu of a PAR2 set in the Repair & Extract listview and select "Detect Misnamed".
- Implemented a SuperLeech "Foreign Language Exclusion Filter". This filter makes it very easy to command SuperLeech to ignore articles, if certain language specific substrings are found in the article subjects. It can be setup from the SuperLeech entry settings dialog.
- Added feature to remove redundant NewsLeecher settings folders and files from the NewsLeecher settings folder. The feature can be accessed from: Toolbox -> Advanced -> Remove Redundant Files / Folders
- To conform better with standard Windows controls behavior, double clicking a combo box ( filter box ) now selects the clicked word, instead of clearing all input text. To clear all input text, press [ Esc ] instead.
- LOTS of visual and non-visual changes and improvements.
- Many smaller bug fixed.
- Removed the "720i" video quality from the SuperLeech entry setup dialog, as that quality setting is rarely used.
