NewsLeecher 3.95 Beta 1
#: Please note that the listview column settings (width,
visibility, etc) have been reset in this release, due to a bug
in the previous beta release.
+: NewsLeecher now uses a new license key system, which makes it
possible to register NewsLeecher without going to the members
area. Note that this is a pretty major change, so there might
be a few new betas coming out soon after this one, containing
fixes and tweaks related to this change.
+: Implemented 3 new skins for the interface in NewsLeecher. The
skins can be accessed by the buttons on the right side of the
main toolbar.
+: Lots of the GUI elements which have never been skinnable, now
are. Including the 'please wait' window, the bandwidth graphs,
etc..
+: It's now possible to replace exisiting SuperSearch bookmarks.
+: NewsLeecher now stores 10 rotating backups of the NewsLeecher
settings file, "setup.dat", in the
"%appdata%\newsleecher\backups\" folder.
The backups might be good to have if some of your NewsLeecher
settings get deleted, or your setup.dat file corrups for some
reason.
+: Implemented new feature which makes it possible to show
custom messages to the user when NewsLeecher is launched.
+: Implemented a new file manager feature, which makes it possible
to easily combine/merge selected files in the NewsLeecher File
Manager. This can be useful when combining HDTV '.TS' files for
example. The feature can be accessed from the 'toolbox' popup
placed on the 'Explorer' toolbar.
+: Implemented a new file manager feature, which makes it possible
to easily create folders based on the names of the files
selected in the NewsLeecher File Manager. The feature can be
accessed from the 'toolbox' popup placed on the 'Explorer'
toolbar.
+: NewsLeecher now fully supports networked folder paths for
downloading and Repair'n'Extract operations.
+: Clicking a 'folder' bookmark on the NewsLeecher File Explorer
tab, while holding down the CTRL or Shift key, will open the
bookmarked folder in a Windows Explorer window, instead of the
internal file explorer window.
*: Lots of smaller graphical user interface inconsistencies have
been corrected.
*: The "Automatic Backup" feature now also backups the state of
the Repair'n'Extract sets.
*: When launching, NewsLeecher can now detect whether the main
settings file, "setup.dat", is corrupted. If it is,
instructions on how to restore a "setup.dat" backup (new backup
feature described above), will be shown to the end-user.
*: The CPU usage has been decreased dramatically under certain
circumstances, when updating groups. Especially noticable
when updating picture groups.
*: The speed of the "Smart Select" feature has been improved
several hundred percent over the speed in previous releases.
*: Improved error checking performed by Repair'n'Extract.
*: Many small improvements. (More data stored in main setup.dat
settings file, instead of using multiple separate files)
!: Fixed bug where Repair'n'Extract would (rarely) unpause
incorrect PAR2 repair files in the download queue, in case many
PAR2 sets with almost similar named were queued for RnE.
!: Fixed bug where the 'Export to NZB' option didn't always work
when exporting headers which had just been received from the
usenet:

!: Lots of smaller bugfixes here and there. (Connections Panel
couldn't always be resized, better unicode support, etc.)
