*: << Major Performance Improvement >>
Major performance improvements when browsing articles in
large usenet groups and/or when browsing articles on slow
computers. These improvements fixes the most significant
performance bottleneck remaining in NewsLeecher.
*: This release uses less system resources when downloading
articles.
*: The overall performance in NewsLeecher has been improved due
to internal low-level optimizations.
*: The "Delete From Cache" feature is now 1000% + faster.
*: Various smaller improvements. (Repair'n'Extract is now faster
at handling files under some circumstances, etc.)
*: Small improvements to the 'Collections Pattern Detection' code,
used by NewsLeecher when figuring out which articles should be put
in which collections.
*: The "Group Cleaning" dialog, occasionally shown during close
down, can now be turned off if wanted.
!: Fixed bug where the NewsLeecher hint windows flickered whenever
lines were written to the log window.
!: Fixed bug where NewsLeecher sometimes miscalculated the
'minimum disk space' settings, and paused the queue
unnecessarily.
!: Fixed bug where Repair'n'Extract would sometimes delete
downloaded articles, even if Repair'n'Extract unpack / move /
copy operations has failed.
!: The 'Move Small Articles to Queue Top' setting was sometimes
ignored. Fixed.
