Newsbin Pro 6.51 changelog

• New Watch feature. Configure Newsbin to pull out items of interest during header downloads.
• New Priority scheme for configuring multiple news servers.
• Supports RAR5 archives
• Ability to open multiple Search tabs. Hit the Search icon in the toolbar to open a new tab.
• Ability to launch post unrar processing scripts.
• Provides the ability to download parts of a post to one drive and have them assembled to another. Useful if you want to minimize I/O bottlenecks by downloading to a fast internal drive then save the assembled files on larger external media like a NAS.
• Optimizations for downloading to SSD drives
• Uses new hashing code. Seems to solve the rare problem where Newsbin and quickpar don't agree on the hash value
• If you have two unique Regular Expressions with a space between them, it'll AND the results.
• Intermediate NB2 files are no longer used.
• New logic to verify all downloaded files even without pars so it won't download dup files ever.
• Startup checking is much faster, like if you exit with large sets in the download list.
• Compacts more posting styles
• The "Small File Filter" is now disabled by default (Show PAR/NFO)
• Unnecessary files in the data folder gets purged on startup now.
• Now supports SMTP authentication for email notifications.
• New toolbar icons, should be prettier.

Tech Notes:

• When downloading, all the chunks go to a common folder in the data folder.
• When downloading headers, all the updates are sent to a common folder and not "per group".
• Only 2 downloading modes, fully buffered in memory or chunks in the common folder.
• The chunks folder is only used if the memory cache has to be flushed.
• Current in memory chunks get flushed out.
• Concept of Fill Servers has changed. There is no specific "Fill Server" option to set now. Lower priority servers will only get used if all higher priority servers have failures.
