SABnzbd 0.4.11 has been released

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

SABnzbd 0.4.11 is essentially the same as 0.4.9, but with less problems.
We skipped 0.4.10, because it failed the tests done by our release team.

Summary:

  • Fixed all the places in the UI that needed a session key
  • Dropped multi-core PAR2 for OSX (too much problems)
  • Added an option to enable/disable multi-core PAR2 for Windows
  • Added an option to disable the new security feature (not recommended!)

This should be the final 0.4.x release. We will now concentrate on getting the 0.5.0 release out.
