NewsLeecher 6.5 Beta 2 changelog

Back to the homepage

NewsLeecher 6.5 Beta 2 brings the following changes:

+: Implemented support for custom user interface scaling in
   NewsLeecher. This feature is great if you'd, for example,
   like the text in NewsLeecher to be a little larger than
   standard. The setting can be accessed from :
   Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> GUI Custom Scaling
+: Implemented a launch check to make sure external helper files
   used by NewsLeecher ( RAR handling, PAR2 handling, etc. ) are
   available and up-to-date. ( see NewsLeecher log at launch for
   details )
*: Added possibility to quickly enter a password into the
   NewsLeecher "Archive Password Manager" from the "Leech Specify"
   dialog.
*: Improved the SuperLeech matching code a bit, so it now picks up
   fewer 'false matching' articles.
*: Updated the RAR handling helper files in NewsLeecher for better
   performance and full support for the new RAR version 5 format.
*: Improved support for long Windows paths (more than 255
   characters) in NewsLeecher.
*: Reworked some of the core SuperLeech code to optimize
   performance and memory usage.
*: The default pixel space between the entries in the NewsLeecher
   listviews as been changed. To change the entry space, click the
   "View Compacting" button in the lower right corner of the
   NewsLeecher main window.
*: Many smaller improvements ( Added Alt+M shortcut for password
   manager, re-implemented "listview font name" and "listview
   font size" nerdy tweak settings, etc. )
!: Fixed bug introduced in the previous beta, where NewsLeecher
   would hang at shut down under certain circumstances.
!: Fixed long standing bug where NewsLeecher would occasionally
   hang if closed down within a second after being launched.
!: Fixed bug that sometimes caused an exception when fetching
   headers from "alt.binaries.boneless" - the larges Usenet group
   available.
!: Fixed small memory leak ( few KB ) that happened under specific
   circumstances when leeching.
!: Many smaller bug fixes.
