NewsLeecher 7.0 Beta 7 changelog

Back to the homepage

NewsLeecher 7.0 Beta 7 brings the following changes:

#: This version of NewsLeecher uses an improved file cache format,
   so it is recommended to backup NewsLeecher settings / data
   before installing, in case a downgrade to an earlier release of
   NewsLeecher is wanted later on.
   NewsLeecher will automatically upgrade existing cache files
   to the new format when loading groups, download queue, etc.
+: Full Unicode support. Articles containing UTF-8 encoded
   subjects / poster names are now correctly displayed in
   NewsLeecher. This mostly affect articles originating from
   Asian countries. ( If parts of NewsLeecher are still found
   to be non-compliant with Unicode, please let us know )
+: Selected files in the download queue, can now be moved up /
   down of the queue, using the keyboard shortcuts Alt+Up and
   Alt+Down.
+: Selected files in the download queue, can now be moved to top /
   bottom of the queue, using the keyboard shortcuts Alt+Shift+Up
   and Alt+Shift+Down.
+: The 'expanded' states for sets in the Repair & Extract listview
   are now saved between sessions.
*: An increasing number of article subjects exceed the previously
   set maximum length in NewsLeecher of 250 bytes. Mostly due to
   Unicode encoding. The maximum length has been bumped and is now
   much higher.
*: The download queue ( together with other NewsLeecher settings )
   is now automatically backed up once every 15 minutes.
*: Many smaller improvements ( listview hints are not cut-off
   anymore, speed optimized drawing routines, up-to-date SSL
   libraries, etc. )
*: Further improved the performance of the NewsLeecher download
   queue loading and saving code.
!: Fixed bug that sometimes triggered an exception when adding
   lots of PAR2 files to the Repair & Extract listview as the
   same time.
!: Fixed bug where NewsLeecher would trigger a bug when updating
   groups, if two unassociated articles shared the same CRC value.
!: Many smaller bugfixes ( "Explorer" listview font bug fixed,
   etc. )
