SABnzbd 0.5.0 RC3 is released

The journey to the 0.5.0 Final release is nearing the end. Thanks to the feedback from our more adventurous users, a lot of small and some bigger issues have been solved. There were no public RC1 and RC2, because our test group reported some issues that we wanted to solve first.

SABnzbd 0.5.0 RC3 is available for download from SourceForge.net.

Fixes:

• Fix broken server test in Wizard and Config->Servers
• Fix uneven download speed of very large NZBs
• Increase timeout for fetching NZB files from websites to 60 seconds
• On Connections Page: show original error message sent by server
• Fix problem when the script folder path contains a space
• Fix disabling of RSS feeds when changing settings
• Include special par2 variant for OSX 10.6+ (automatically selected)
• Warn user (once) about presence of old queue file
• Warn Posix  user when a non-supported version of unrar is installed
• Prevent NZB from dropping to bottom of queue when the category is changed
• When forcing disconnect don’t try to send “Quit” to a non-responding server
• Duplicate title checking in RSS is now case-insensitive
• Only warn about presence of old queue when no new queue is present yet
• Avoid potential crash when server closes connection

SABnzbd 0.5.0 Beta4 has been released

SABnzbd 0.5.0 Beta4 is available for download from SourceForge.net. Note: The files are called Beta4a due to a technical issue with sf.net.

Fixes:

• When option “Post-process only verified jobs” is set, do not execute user-script when job fails
• NZB files read in from categorized watched folder did not inherit the category’s priority
• Fixed error reporting about incorrect NZB file
• Improved year recognition in tvsort
• Some recent Ubuntu (-like) systems had problems with ‘localhost’.
• Some skin fixes
