Zojuist is de tweede bètarelease van NewsLeecher 2.3 uitgekomen. Met dit programma kunnen op Usenet berichten uit nieuwsgroepen worden gelezen en bestanden worden gedownload. In deze release is onder andere de mogelijkheid om de bandbreedte die het programma gebruikt aan banden te leggen sterk verbeterd en zijn enkele andere kleine veranderingen en bugfixes doorgevoerd. Het complete changelog laat zich als volgt weg lezen:
Changes in 2.3 beta 2:
- The algorithm used by the "bandwidth limiter" feature has been improved a lot. The new algorithm is by far more precise than the one in beta 1, yet it uses much less CPU resources as it is a simpler implementation.
- Any limit put on the NewsLeecher bandwidth is now reflected on the graphs as a white semi-transparent line.
- Added bandwidth limit options to the 'Main Graph', 'Small Graph' and the Tray popup menus.
- Decreased the bandwidth limiting slider intervals from 10% steps to 1% steps.
- The bandwidth limit throttle is now shown even though the 'Main Graph' window has been turned off.
- Small improvements (The small graph got a popup menu now, in preview mode, the color difference on the statusbars are now more significant, etc)
- Fixed bug where the news page wouldn't load, and Super Search wouldn't initialize, on computers using unicode enabled regional settings.
- Small fixes.
