Release Notes - SABnzbd 2.2.0 Alpha 1

NOTE: Due to changes in this release, the queue will be converted when 2.2.0 is started for the first time. Job order, settings and data will be preserved, but all jobs will be unpaused and URL's that did not finish fetching before the upgrade will be lost!

Changes in 2.2.0

Reduced memory usage, especially with larger queues
Slight improvement in download performance by removing internal locks
Smoother animations in Firefox (disabled previously due to FF high-CPU usage)
If enabled, replace dots in filenames also when there are spaces already
Jobs outside server retention are processed faster
max_art_opt and replace_illegal moved from Switches to Specials

Bugfixes in 2.2.0

Shutdown/suspend did not work on some Linux systems
Deleting a job could result in write errors
Display warning if custom par2 parameters are wrong
macOS: Catch 'Protocol wrong type for socket' errors

Upgrade notices (from pre-2.x.x)

Windows: When starting the Post-Processing script, the path to the job folder is no longer in short-path notation but includes the full path. To support long paths (>255), you might need to alter them to long-path notation (\?).
Schedule items are converted when upgrading to 2.x.x and will break when reverted back to pre-2.x.x releases.
The organization of the download queue is different from 0.7.x releases. So 2.x.x will not see the existing queue, but you can go to Status->Queue Repair and "Repair" the old queue.
