## Bug fixes since RC 1
- SABYenc updated to version 2.8.0 due to failure to decode some articles
- If SABYenc was missing it could result in crashes

## Changes since Beta 1
- API changes: `history` and `queue` calls now only contain History/Queue

`qstatus` is now identical to `queue` call.

- Linux: Detect Multicore Par2 more generally
## New in 2.0.0: SABYenc
- To improve SABnzbd's performance on systems where CPU power is limiting
download speed, we developed a new C-module called SABYenc to accelerate the
decoding of usenet articles.
Not only low-powered systems like NAS's or Raspberry Pi's benefit, with this
new module speeds can increase up to 2x compared to 1.x.x releases on any
system where the connection/newsserver capacity was not fully used.
The Windows and macOS releases automatically include this module, for other
platforms an installation guide can be found here: https://sabnzbd.org/sabyenc

## New in 2.0.0: SABYenc
To improve SABnzbd's performance on systems where CPU power is limiting
download speed, we developed a new C-module called SABYenc to accelerate the
decoding of usenet articles. Depending on the hardware, download speed can
greatly increase.
The Windows and macOS releases automatically include this module, for other
platforms you can read more on: https://sabnzbd.org/sabyenc
If you experience issues, please report them on our Forums!
The module is not mandatory, the _yenc module will continue to work and
its performance will be similar.
