SABnzbd-0.4.0 Beta (Not yet released)

Post by shypike »

>:(  CANCELLED DUE TO OBJECTION OF NEWZBIN TO THE NEW BOOKMARK FEATURE  >:(

(a new release will be done soon).

We're very happy to present the first Beta release of SABnzbd-0.4.0.

NOTE: This is a Beta release.
It contains lots of new features, expect some problems in it.
If you want to avoid risks, keep working with release 0.3.4.
Also, don't just re-use a filled queue from 0.3.4 with this release.

Please give feedback in the Beta forum and not in the regular Help and Bugs forums.

Just an update:
We released 0.4beta1 tonight for about 10 minutes till we realised it was missing a windows .dll required for the new multi-core par2.
At the same time it was brought to our attention that Newzbin was not happy with our implementation of a new feature: "automatic newzbin bookmark fetching". A while back we requested an API for the access, but it has yet to be developed so we scrape it from the website.

This is against their terms of conditions and we don't want anyone getting banned from newzbin, so the release of 0.4b1 is on hold until we decide what to do tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay and any confusion, we know you all are eager to test out the latest version. We will try again for the release tomorrow!
