NewsLeecher 5.0 Beta 2
+: ---------------------------------------------------
<< Major Feature Addition - SuperSearch Watchdog >>
---------------------------------------------------
The SuperSearch Watchdog feature automatically spots freshly
indexed article collections in your SuperSearch search results.
"Freshly indexed" means that the article collections were
indexed by the SuperSearch indexer *after* your prior
similar SuperSearch search was performed. The purpose of the
watchdog feature, is to make it very easy to locate the
SuperSearch article results you haven't already browsed.
+: (Re)Implemented checkbox support for browsing Usenet groups.
The checkboxes are used for loading and unloading the Usenet
groups.
+: Added an 'Edit Bookmark' feature to the SuperSearch and the
Explorer Bookmarks bars. The new feature can be accessed from
the bookmark buttons right click menus.
+: New SuperSearch TAB navigation shortcuts:
The Ctrl+T keyboard shortcut, can now be used to create a new
SuperSearch search tab. The Ctrl+W or Ctrl+F4 keyboard
shortcuts, can now be used to close the active SuperSearch
search tab. Ctrl+Shift+Tab and Ctrl+Tab keyboard shortcuts,
can now be used to switch back and forth between SuperSearch
search tabs.
+: Added a 'Data received per day' statistics column, to the
'Servers' view.
+: Added an 'Add Selected PAR2s to Repair & Extract' feature to
the 'Explorer' views toolbox menu.

<< Major GUI Improvements >>
----------------------------
Lots of GUI improvements. We're currently working hard on
making the NewsLeecher GUI even faster,slicker and less
resource hungry than it already is ;)
--
Besides using considerably fewer system resources when handling
the NewsLeecher GUI, this specific beta also removes all
'flickering' when resizing the main NewsLeecher window.
The GUI look has also been improved.
--
*: Reworked the SuperSearch and the Explorer Bookmark bars. The
'New Bookmark' button has been moved and the 'Delete Bookmark'
button has been removed, to make more room for the bookmark
buttons. Bookmarks can now instead be removed from a popup
menu, by right clicking the bookmark buttons.
*: SuperSearch will only show the "Maximum number of search
results received" message once per search now, instead of
everytime a SuperSearch tab with 30.0000 results was activated.
*: Redesigned the 'Advanced Filtering' dialog. It can now be
accessed from the filtering boxes drop-down menus.
*: Redesigned the Server Setup dialog
*: Changed 'Focused' control handling a bit, to allow better
keyboard group navigation.
-: The 'Image Preview Panel' feature has been removed. It will be
replaced by a better 'Download Preview' control before the
NewsLeecher V5.0 final release.
!: Implemented workaround for a bug that sometimes caused
NewsLeecher to corrupt articles that were being downloaded
while 'GZIP Compressed' data was streamed from usenet server.
Note that this bug has only been experienced with the usenet
provider Giganews, so it is most probably a bug at their end.
!: The Bot 'Login Message' feature, which can be accessed from the
bot views popup menu, didn't work. Fixed.
!: Drag'n'Drop *.PAR2 files to the Repair & Extract View didn't
always work. Fixed.
!: Drag'n'Drop *.NZB and *.NZB.ZIP files to the Queue View didn't
always work. Fixed.
!: The 'Select All' feature in the logwin context menu didn't
work. Fixed.
!: Many smaller bugfixes.
