De final release van SABnzbd 2.0 is uitgekomen. Met SABnzbd kunnen bestanden van usenet worden gedownload. Dit opensourceprogramma is beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux en OS X, en biedt de mogelijkheid om nzb-bestanden te laden, waarna de juiste files van usenet worden geplukt. Met de ingebouwde webinterface is het mogelijk om het programma via een webbrowser te bedienen. De belangrijkste verbetering in versie 2.0 is SABYenc, een module die usenetartikelen snel kan decoderen en daarmee voor een hogere downloadsnelheid moet zorgen. De changelog voor versie 2.0 ziet er als volgt uit:
New in 2.0.0: SABYencChanges/improvements in 2.0.0:
- To improve SABnzbd's performance on systems where CPU power is limiting
download speed, we developed a new C-module called SABYenc to accelerate the
decoding of usenet articles that can use multiple threads and is more efficient.
Not only low-powered systems like NAS's or Raspberry Pi's benefit, with this
new module speeds can increase up to 2x compared to 1.x.x releases on any
system where the connection/newsserver capacity was not fully used.
The Windows and macOS releases automatically include this module, for other
platforms an installation guide can be found here.Smaller changes/improvements in 2.0.0
- Windows and macOS releases now also come in 64bit versions.
The installers will install the appropriate version automatically.
Therefore, on 64bit Windows the installation directory will change to
'Program Files' instead of 'Program Files (x86)'.
On Windows our tests showed an additional 5-10% gain in download speed
when using 64bit SABnzbd on 64bit Windows.- Linux: Detect if Multicore Par2 is installed.
Multicore Par2 is now easily available through the PPA and other channels.- Post-processing scripts now get additional job information via SAB environment
variables.- Certificate Validation set to 'Strict' for newly added newsservers
The insecure Certificate Verification level 'Default' is now called 'Minimal'.
In case of problems, see here for more information.- Removed Secondary Web Interface option.
