What's new

v7.0 [Oct 16, 2014]
NewsLeecher 7.0 Beta 3
*: In the previous beta, the "Repair and Extract" PAR2 file
*repair* engine got a major performance boost.
In this beta, we have looked into optimizing the "Repair and
Extract" PAR2 file *verification* engine as well. It is now
300-400% faster than before.
*: Many smaller speed improvements.
!: Fixed bug '14w10j09h' that got triggered when Repair and
Extract was handling PAR2 files, with some specific keywords
included in the filenames :
http://www.newsleecher.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=116278
!: The code for backing up NewsLeecher settings on-the-fly, didn't
work properly in the last few betas. This has been fixed.
To setup the backup feature, check :
Setting -> Advanced Tweaks -> Backup ...
The backups process can also be manually triggered from :
Toolbox -> Advanced -> Perform Backup

v6.5 [Jan 19, 2014]
This release updates the OpenSSL helper files used by
NewsLeecher. The updated helper files are immune to the OpenSSL "Heartbleed" bug. All NewsLeecher online services ( NewsLeecher Usenet Access service and the SuperSearch / SuperLeech service ) are immune to the "Heartbleed" bug.

v5.0 [Jan 17, 2011]
-The graphical user interface in NewsLeecher has been changed quite a bit, to make the application more streamlined.
- Implemented an xmas theme for NewsLeecher. The animated snow, that is part of the theme, can be turned off via this setting:
Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> GUI Theme Animations Allowed
--This, and future themes, can be turned off complete from:
Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> GUI Theme Allowed
--The Repair & Extract Destination Manager can now also match PAR2 set names against group names, to decide the destination folder for extracted archives.
- Implemented a GUI compact mode feature, that, when enabled, will resize some of the toolbars in NewsLeecher, so they take up less space on screen. Can be accessed via settings:
Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> GUI Compact Mode
--Vastly reduced the CPU cycles used by NewsLeecher, when lots of sets were present in the Repair & Extract view.
