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.

This is primarily a security fix release, triggered by a vulnerability reported by Secunia.
http://secunia.com/advisories/34537/

PLEASE NOTE:
This release will break compatibility with existing third-party tools and possibly your own scripts.
Third-party tool authors have been notified of the problem and we hope they will soon create new releases.
More info on the API key: http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/automation-support
When you use normal SABnzbd URLs, but not the API, you’ll need to add the parameter session=secret-key.
Example: http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/shutdown?session=secret
Where secret is the API-key described above.
