De ontwikkeling van NewsBin Pro versie 6.60 is is bij de elfde bètarelease aanbeland. Met dit programma kunnen bestanden, zoals foto's, video's en programma's, van usenet worden gehaald. Het heeft alles wat je van een usenet-downloader mag verwachten, zoals ondersteuning voor multithreading, ssl en autopar. Verder zijn er uitgebreide filtermogelijkheden en kan er van een optionele Usenet search service gebruikgemaakt worden. De changelog van deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
Version 6.60 Beta 11 Build 3995
- Sonaar support seems to be fully functional, needs testing. Errors are not reported properly but it otherwise seems to be working well.
- Fixed Local search, it got broken in B9
- Address issue probing large groups for record range.
- Added logic to better display some posting styles that weren't getting compacted into one line properly representing the file.
- No longer promotes existing files to new if additional headers show up for a file that has already been "read".
- When using overlap, only set existing posts "new" if the new post actually was new to the file.
- Fixed performance issue processing picture groups during header update of groups with > 100,000 posts on the post list.
- Fixed issue where Newsbin would render thumbnail images in the background even if thumnbnail tab was closed. Now only renders if the thumbnail tab is open (does not have to have focus).
- Fixed issue where sorting with "show filenames" on was sorting on complete subject instead.
- Fixed issue where double-clicking a watch topic without a server configured for header downloads would report a no server error.
- Fixed issue with auto-shutdown mode and Newsbin not allowing the PC to enter sleep mode.
