Core Upgrades |
|
|
|
- New Quick-Start Wizard - If you don't have any servers set you'll get a neat |
|
|
|
little five-page wizard allowing you to change all the config settings you |
|
|
|
really need to worry about. Stuff like "How should SABnzbd be accessible? |
|
|
|
Remotely or locally?" and "What's your server address", in a step by step manner. |
|
|
|
Features a button on the server page to test the connection to the news server, |
|
|
|
to make sure you have entered your details correctly. |
|
|
|
- HTTPS Support - The Web-UI now supports HTTPS and has a standard login window |
|
|
|
(if you use a login/pass). The URL no longer requires the /sabnzbd/ part, |
|
|
|
though the old URL is still supported. |
|
|
|
- File Quick-Check - We can now skip par2 verification altogether in most cases |
|
|
|
by performing a quick-check of file hashes before post-processing. |
|
|
|
If quick-check passes, then all the files are complete and we can proceed |
|
|
|
without doing the lengthy par2 verification step. |
|
|
|
- Localization System - We now ship with five localizations, |
|
|
|
English, French, Dutch, German and Swedish, and have a rather simple system |
|
|
|
for implementing new translations. If you'd like to contribute one, |
|
|
|
please inquire on our forums. |
|
|
|
- More Indexing Sites - SABnzbd now supports more than just Newzbin. |
|
|
|
See the support list for full details. Highlights include the RSS feeds |
|
|
|
for NZBMatrix and Nzbs.org |
|
|
|
- Revamped Config System - The configuration backend was overhauled in 0.5. |
|
|
|
Many of the config pages have been changed around to make more sense, |
|
|
|
you can now easily enable/disable servers, you can turn servers on and off |
|
|
|
with schedules and in general all server interaction is much faster than before. |
|
|
|
You also only have to restart SABnzbd for major changes to take effect. |
|
|
|
- File Association - .nzb files can now be associated with SABnzbd in Windows, |
|
|
|
so you can just double click them to load the file into your queue. |
|
|
|
You can set this up manually on other operating systems by launching SABnzbd |
|
|
|
with arguments containing a path, or multiple paths to local nzb/rar/zip files. |
|
|
|
- Password Support - Basic support for password protected rar-files is now in. |
|
|
|
It's limited, but it works. |
|
|
|
- .TS filejoining - The file joining system now supports merging .TS files. |
|
|
|
- New Sorting Options - Date and Custom sorting options have been added, so downloads |
|
|
|
with a date can be sorted as such, and further customized sorting options |
|
|
|
can be developed by users. |
|
|
|
- Email Templates - You can now design custom email templates to report |
|
|
|
whatever information you want, including multiple recipients. |
|
|
|
- OSX Finder menu - SABnzbd now embeds itself in the Finder menubar to give |
|
|
|
you some basic functions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The API |
|
|
|
- 0.4 introduced our API, 0.5 expands it to cover everything SABnzbd is capable of. |
|
|
|
Why does this matter? It means if you know any programming language and |
|
|
|
understand how to parse XML/JSON and POST data to an address, |
|
|
|
then you can write some application which can communicate with SABnzbd |
|
|
|
almost as easily as a template can. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Queue & History |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Per-Item Pause - Now, in addition to being able to pause the whole queue, |
|
|
|
you can also pause individual items in the queue. You can also force downloads |
|
|
|
to start while the whole queue is paused. |
|
|
|
- Temporary Pause - 0.5 also brings the ability to pause the queue temporarily. |
|
|
|
So if you just want to pause for 30 minutes while you use your internet connection |
|
|
|
for something else, you can. This is nice, as it means you don't have |
|
|
|
to remember to go back and unpause SABnzbd. |
|
|
|
- Priorities - The queue now has four priorities, Normal, High, Low and force. |
|
|
|
Think of this as an easy method to move things around your queue, or to insert |
|
|
|
things into specific areas of your queue. One use case is to set everything |
|
|
|
to "normal" by default, so it works like 0.4.x. However, you can then add |
|
|
|
a new post or RSS feed as high-priority to have it be inserted to the top of the queue, |
|
|
|
or add one as low-priority to have it inserted at the bottom of the queue |
|
|
|
and keep below normal downloads that are added. Forced items will go straight |
|
|
|
to the top of the queue, and will continue to download even if the queue is paused. |
|
|
|
- Renaming - You can now rename items in the Queue, SABnzbd will use the new name |
|
|
|
as the completed directory name. |
|
|
|
- New History Backend - The history is now stored in a database, |
|
|
|
so we can handle larger histories better, and store more information about downloads. |
|
|
|
It also now survives between having the queue cleared. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Templates |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- New Default Template - With 0.5, the "smpl" template is now the default. |
|
|
|
The old basic template is still there, but is now called "Classic". |
|
|
|
- SMPL - Has been reworked to be much faster and friendlier to use. |
|
|
|
The default page now shows the top 5 items from the queue and history. |
|
|
|
The queue and history are also now paginated to stop loading a massive number of items. |
|
|
|
- Plush - Complete backend rewrite to work almost exclusively off the API |
|
|
|
[so it's MUCH faster], and a reorganized (and more accessible!) main menu. |
|
|
|
The Queue and History also now have pagination built in, so you can have hundreds |
|
|
|
of items in both, and only ever have to deal with a manageable number of items on any given page. |
|
|
|
- Mobile - Thanks to the new API and the jQTouch Framework, we've got |
|
|
|
a brand new mobile theme. It's full featured (save for config options), |
|
|
|
and gives you the ability to add new nzbs, reorder existing ones, manage the queue, etc. |
|
|
|
"Mobile" replaces the old "iPhone" template. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes: |
|
|
|
* Sure! |
