## About this new version
|
|
|
|
|
We have been working for months to upgrade the SABnzbd code from Python 2 to Python 3.
|
|
|
|
|
Although it might not sound like a big change, we had to rewrite almost every part of
|
|
|
|
|
the code. We also included a number of new features, listed below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Big changes in 3.0.0
|
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.5 and above are the only supported versions of Python.
|
|
|
|
|
- Cache handling is greatly improved, resulting in more stable speeds on some systems.
|
|
|
|
|
- Articles failing with CRC errors are now retried on other servers.
|
|
|
|
|
- SFV files, even obfuscated, will be used for renaming when there are no par2 files.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fully obfuscated RAR-sets with no verification files are detected and extracted.
|
|
|
|
|
- Built-in internet bandwidth test.
|
|
|
|
|
- Windows Service support was changed. The service will need to be reinstalled!
|
|
|
|
|

## Other changes since 2.3.9
|
|
|
|
|
- Files inside an NZB that are fully identical are now skipped automatically.

- Folders of jobs that failed post-processing are renamed to `_FAILED_`.
|
|
|
|
|
- Blocking of unwanted extensions that are directly inside an NZB.
|
|
|
|
|
- In Python 3 OpenSSL 1.1.1 is used for Windows and macOS, as a result
|
|
|
|
|
newsservers manually set to `RC4-MD5` cipher can no longer connect.
|
|
|
|
|

## Upgrade notices
|
|
|
|
|
- When upgrading from 2.x.x or older the queue will be converted. Job order,
|
|
|
|
|
settings and data will be preserved, but if you decide to go back to 2.x.x
|
|
|
|
|
your queue cannot be downgraded again. But you can restore the jobs by going
|
|
|
|
|
to the Status page and running Queue Repair.

to its web-based user interface and advanced built-in post-processing options
|

|
|
|
that automatically verify, repair, extract and clean up posts downloaded

|
|
|
|
from Usenet.
