Release 0.5.2 RC1 is out
Sunday, April 18th, 2010Our release testers uncovered some old bugs at the last minute (and also some minor new ones).
Since 0.5.1Final was already in their hands, we will not release it generally.
It wasn’t overall better than 0.5.1RC2 and we never reuse release numbers.
Instead we now release 0.5.2 RC1 which solves the above mentioned problems.

SABnzbd 0.5.1 RC2 is out
Friday, March 26th, 2010We were still in internal testing phase with 0.5.1 RC2, when a popular Dutch site published the release notes and the URL of our distribution site. Since we recently dropped the password requirement, so the release was available for everyone.
The quality of RC2 is quite good, therefor we decided to release it officially anyway.
Next time we’ll be more careful.
Release note for 0.5.1 RC2.

SABnzbd 0.5.0 RC6 is released
Sunday, February 7th, 2010SABnzbd 0.5.0 RC6 is available for download from SourceForge.net.
Changes:
- Add INI-only option “par2_multicore” to enable/disable par2-multicore
Fixes:
- Prevent crash in RSS due to odd characters
- Prevent deadlock in downloader when server is blocked
- Prevent deletion of par files of other sets in multi-set NZBs
- Incorrect job rename in SMPL skin on Windows
- INI-only option “no_penalties” to limit timeout penalties for non-optional servers to 1 minute
- HTTPS certificate paths should default to the admin_dir directive
- The second parameter of the user script should be the original NZB file name even when the job has been renamed.
- Show clear error message when RSS feed preview or force-download fails.
- Don’t warn about RSS reading problems when a scheduled scan is done.
- Ignore empty “username” and “apikey” parameters in nzbmatrix.com URLs and add stored values.
- Suppress authentication warning for API call “get_scripts” and “qstatus”. These are used by some external utilities to determine if username/password is required. Prevents a warning each time SABnzbd or the browser is started.
- Ignore read-only attributes of files in a RAR archive (Windows)
- Remove potential crash on OSX when handling corrupt par2 file
- Enable manual unblocking of permantly blocked servers
- Retry permanently blocked servers after 30 minutes (compensate for shoddy servers)

- Give unrar preference over rar when both installed on a Posix system
RC4 and RC5 were only released to our Test group.
