    NewsLeecher 4.00 beta 4

    Posted on Wednesday, July 01 2009 @ 13:21:30 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

    NewsLeecher is a tool made for fetching and managing articles from the Usenet. It downloads Usenet articles in a snap, and uses it's inline engine to assemble and decode all the downloads. The powerful featureset and state-of-the-art user interface makes it an application "you simply can't live without" if you are a serious Usenet user. The current releases of NewsLeecher are mainly made binary files downloading, but we're working hard on extending NewsLeecher with full-blown text reader capabilities at the moment.

    Changelog:
    #: This release uses a new format for setup and configuration
    
    files. NewsLeecher will automatically detect earlier formats
    of the setup and configuration files and upgrade to the new
    format without any user intervention. But note that older
    versions of NewsLeecher will not be able to identify the new
    format, so downgrading will reset most settings. It is
    therefore recommended that you backup your NewsLeecher
    installation before installing this release, just in case
    anything goes wrong.
    +: Reintroduced a lot of the features which were removed in the
    first NewsLeecher version 4.0 betas. The reintroduced features
    include listview font name and size configuration, listview
    entry height configuration, turning on / off the speedgraph
    background logo etc..
    +: Added 'Notify on New Final Release' and 'Notify on New Beta
    Release' checkboxes to the news-page toolbar.
    +: The Repair'n'Extract status column now shows the extraction
    speed for extracting archives in MB/s
    +: Lots of 'advanced user' tweaks have been added to the
    setup dialog. The settings can be accessed from 'Setup ->
    Advanced Nerd Tweaks'. The new tweaks include listview entry
    color shade settings for sorted columns and collections, the
    possibility to set the size of the speedbar on the tray icon,
    etc..
    *: NewsLeecher uses a new format for the setup and configuration
    files. Reading from, and writing to, the new format is between
    10 and 1000 times faster than with the old format. And as
    NewsLeecher reads and writes a lot of settings during
    operations, this change will have a positive impact on the
    overall performance.
    *: Totally re-organized the setup dialog, to make it much easier
    to configure and run NewsLeecher from scratch. All of the non-
    essential options and settings have been moved to a new setup
    section called 'Advanced Nerd Tweaks'. NewsLeecher will run
    fine without playing around with this new section, but the
    settings and options can be tweaked to optimize and personalize
    NewsLeecher further if wanted.
    Due to this new section, the rest of the setup dialog,
    containing more essential NewsLeecher settings and options, has
    been greatly simplified.
    *: Repair'n'Extract will now extract archives ASAP, instead of
    waiting until all Repair'n'Extract entries have been verified.
    *: Improved the 'Filters Dialog' by replacing the filters listview
    control with a memo control. The memo control allows much
    faster editing of filters, aswell as batch copy/paste
    operations.
    *: All 'Group Browsing' settings and filters have been moved to
    the setup dialog. The 'Group Browsing' setup dialog can be
    accessed fast by clicking the 'Settings' button on the 'Group
    Browsing' toolbar.
    *: Improved the easy-of-use of the download counter, located on
    the status bar.
    *: Lots of minor improvements. (Changed the standard pixel height
    of listview entries, new graphics in setup dialog, etc.)
    !: Fixed serious bug introduced in previous betas, where
    NewsLeecher sometimes totally screw up the download destination
    folder path when downloads were initiated from NZB files and
    the 'Download to Groupname Folder' option was used at the same
    time.
    !: Fixed bug where the NewsLeecher article header retrieval
    function would skip certain headers, because their subjects
    used a format which wasn't recognized by NewsLeecher.
    !: Fixed bug where NewsLeecher would sometimes pause the transfer
    queue automatically when the scheduler is active:

    !: Fixed bug introduced in previous betas, where Repair'n'Extract
    would sometimes delete PAR Split sets.
    !: Fixed bug where the queue 'Change Download Folder' feature
    didn't always work properly.
    !: Fixed bug introduced in previous betas, where the 'Export to
    NZB' feature would freeze NewsLeecher, if the 'ZIP Compress
    exported NZB File' option was on.
    !: Fixed bug where some of the group browser filters would
    occasionally cause the group browser listview to freeze:

    !: Fixed bug where the time label on the bandwidth graph sometimes
    showed an incorrect timespan text while the graph was resized.
    !: Numerous smaller bugfixes.
