Queue incompatibility between Beta2 and Beta4

A queue incompatibility slipped into Beta4.
This means that you cannot re-use an existing queue.

SABnzbd should have warned you about this, but we failed to
to increase the internal queue version number.

You need to finish the queue with Beta2 or start Beta4 with the –clean
parameter and re-enter your jobs.

The following problems will be fixed for Beta5 (and are already available in the Subversion trunk).

• Queue incompatibility between Beta2 and Beta4 was not detected (giving problems).
• Unix permissions for job folders now also covers parent folders.
• Bookmark function sometimes fails to delete completed bookmarks and sometimes repeats downloads
• Occasional hangup in shutdown (due to UrlGrabber)
• PP, category and script overrides used on the main page were ignored
• Prevent storing the full path in the GZ backup of the NZB
• Added a sort-by-size function for the queue
• Improvents in Smpl and Plush skins.

SABnzbd-0.4.0Beta4 is released.

We seem to have an issue with odd-numbered Beta releases.
A nasty bug was discovered quickly by one of the early birds (thank you, Peter_Pan).
Switch managed to fix it real quick.

Release note (see Beta3) plus:

• Postprocessor crashes when no categories set
• Source distribution contained some Win32 binaries.
• Plush fix: changing order/cat/pp/script doesn’t reload queue anymore (faster)

SABnzbd-0.4.0 Beta3 is released

We’re very happy to present the Beta-3 release of SABnzbd-0.4.0.

NOTE: This is a Beta release.
If you want to avoid risks, keep working with release 0.3.4.
Please empty your current queue before upgrading from 0.3.4.

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

Improvents:

• Lots of improvements in Plush & Smpl
• Complete Bookmark feature by implementing the Newzbin Bookmark-API.
• Determine the pause/resume state and speedlimit from the schedules when starting SABnzbd
• Scan for category-named folders in the Watched Folder.
• Improved post-processing, more efficient file moving
• TV season support improved and extended
• Increase robustness of Newzbin-queue and URL-queue. Queues now survive Save/Restart and full shutdown/restart.
• Handle that some systems require [] in numerical IPv6 notation, some don’t allow it.
• Make backup of all processed NZB files, also store compressed GZ file.
• Set email priority to 5 (=low)

Fixes:

• Do not stop SABnzbd after hibernating the system.
• More effort to get a usable profile for pre-Vista Windows versions.
• Prevent RSS processor from downloading exactly identical titles.
• Preserve case of received newzbin categories, while still keeping the user-based categories forced to lowercase.

General:

• Win32 binary release now uses Python 2.5.2, CherryPy 2.3.0, PyOpenSSL 0.7 and OpenSSL 0.9.8g

Where is Beta3?

Yes, I know Beta3 is taking too long.

We are making good progress, lots of small stuff has been fixed. But due to a radical redesign of the post-processing code, the TV season code is no longer reliable. Switch will take care of this, but he has other duties to attend to and cannot work on this code right now. He was planning on is now overhauling the current TV season implementation like discussed in the forum.

People who can use the Subversion sources are welcom to test, keeping in mind the non-functional TV season code.

Overview of what has been done after Beta2:

• A load of Plush corrections.
• Preserve case of received newzbin categories, while still keeping the user-based categories forced to lowercase.
• Scan for category-named sub-folders in the Watched Folder.
• Redesign of the post-processing.
  • Improved performance on network drives, due to less copying of files.
  • Cleaned up code.
• Ignore “group folders” and “category folders” options when user-defined categories available.
• Increase robustness against incorrect RSS feed records (missing fields).
• Allow recovery from bad RSS filters.
• Make sure that Signal 5 is only ignored for Windows (some problems reported on Linux)
• Pause/resume state on startup is determined from the schedule
• Prevent RSS processor from downloading exactly identical titles.
• NZB backups are made for all sources (and compressed to .gz)
• Newzbin Bookmarks now uses Newzbin’s new API

My guess is that Beta3 will be about a week from now.
