Since we'll mainly focus on bug fixes and already-implemented feature improvements for the rest of the NewsLeecher V4.0 betas, there will not be any more additions to NewsLeecher, before V4.0 Final has been released.

So before we get flooded with questions, regarding whether this-and-that feature is ever going to get implemented, here's a roadmap for the larger features we have planned for future releases. Note though, that the roadmap is *not* binding. We might change the roadmap at any time, due to whatever reason we have for doing that.

Version 5
NewsLeecher V5 will introduce multi-tabbed SuperSearching, which will allow one to operate several SuperSearch views simultaneously.

We are also looking into implementing a complete Keyword-Manager for V5, which will make it possible to place downloaded and Repair'n'Extracted articles in user-specified folder locations, based on user-specified article keywords. This will make download managing much easier and flexible for many users.

Furthermore we'll continue to optimize the user interface and performance of NewsLeecher, striving for a non-bloated, fast and good looking product.

Version 6
Our current plan is to implement full text reader support into NewsLeecher V6. It will be implemented in a very discrete way, making it almost unnoticeably visually and performance wise, for users who don't care about text reader capabilities.

We already have some great usability ideas for the text reader implementation, which haven't been seen in any usenet news reader before.

Version 7+
Time will tell. We hear rumors, that the development language we use for making NewsLeecher, will be able to provide us with the possibility to make native NewsLeecher releases for MacOS and Linux. This is something we'll put a lot of effort into providing for our users, if it gets technically possible.

Besides what's mentioned in the roadmap above, there will, of course, be tons of smaller NewsLeecher improvements and additions aswell. So lots of stuff on the roadmap for the NewsLeecher future.

Remember that our monthly subscription plan, priced at under 3 bucks a month (US$2.99), will give you access to all upcoming NewsLeecher releases aswell as unlimited access to our SuperSearch service, for as long as the subscription is kept active.

NewsLeecher V4.0 Beta 9 is now available for download. Just like the previous beta, this beta features new major performance improvements. The performance improvements are most visible when browsing usenet groups containing large amounts of articles, or when browsing groups on a slow computer. But the general speed of NewsLeecher is also improved with this release.
