Some news about the Betas

We have neglected this blog a bit.

We’re currently at Beta3, but in a couple of days Beta4 will be released.

This version will solve a few long-standing problems with the reliability of RSS feeds and NZB fetches.

SABnzbd-0.4.12 is released

SABnzbd 0.4.12 maintenance release.

Bugs solved:

• Update unrar for Windows to 3.90 (solves CRC errors when unpacking)
• Don’t show NZB-s no longer present in the RSS feed in the preview (they won’t be matched anyway)
• Default skin: Hitting enter after changing the RSS definition would delete the definition.
• Send Group did not always work properly

Features:

• Add Cheetah 2.2 compatibility (primarily for Linux)
• Add field to API-qstatus XML output.

SABnzbd 0.4.11 has been released

SABnzbd 0.4.11 is essentially the same as 0.4.9, but with less problems.
We skipped 0.4.10, because it failed the tests done by our release team.

Summary:

• Fixed all the places in the UI that needed a session key
• Dropped multi-core PAR2 for OSX (too much problems)
• Added an option to enable/disable multi-core PAR2 for Windows
• Added an option to disable the new security feature (not recommended!)

This should be the final 0.4.x release. We will now concentrate on getting the 0.5.0 release out.

SABnzbd 0.4.9 has been released

SABnzbd 0.4.9 Final has been released.

This is primarily a security fix release, triggered by a vulnerability reported by Secunia.
http://secunia.com/advisories/34537/

PLEASE NOTE:
This release will break compatibility with existing third-party tools and possibly your own scripts.
Third-party tool authors have been notified of the problem and we hope they will soon create new releases.
More info on the API key: http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/automation-support
When you use normal SABnzbd URLs, but not the API, you’ll need to add the parameter session=secret-key.
Example: http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/shutdown?session=secret
Where secret is the API-key described above.

Release content:

• Fixed Secunia’s vulnerability report
• Fixed par2 for OSX
• On Posix systems unrar check fails when LC settings do not specify UTF-8
