rmediate destination directory
names now include unique numbers to avoid several downloads with same
name to use the same directory and interfere with each other;
- when option "UnpackCleanupDisk" is active all archive files are now
deleted from download directory without relying on output printed by
unrar; this solves issues with non-ascii-characters in archive file
names on some platforms and especially in combination with rar5;
- improved handling of non-ascii characters in file names on windows;
- added support for rar5-format when checking signatures of archives
with non-standard file extensions;
- small restructure in settings order:
- combined sections "REMOTE CONTROL" and "PERMISSIONS" into one
section with name "SECURITY";
- moved sections "CATEGORIES" and "RSS FEEDS" higher in the
section list;
- improved par-check: if main par2-file is corrupted and can not be
loaded other par2-files are downloaded and then used as replacement
for main par2-file;
- if unpack did not find archive files the par-check is not requested
anymore if par-rename was already done;
- better handling of obfuscated nzb-files containing multiple files
with same names; removed option "StrictParName" which was not working
good with obfuscated files; if more par-files are required for repair
the files with strict names are tried first and then other par-files;
- added new scheduler commands "ActivateServer", "DeactivateServer" and
"FetchFeed"; combined options "TaskX.DownloadRate" and "TaskX.Process"
into one option "TaskX.Param", also used by new commands;
- added status filter buttons to history page;
- if unpack fails with write error (usually because of not enough space
on disk) this is shown as status "Unpack: space" in web-interface;
this unpack-status is handled as "success" by duplicate handling
(no download of other duplicate); also added new unpack-status "wrong
password" (only for rar5-archives); env.var. NZBPP_UNPACKSTATUS has
two new possible values: 3 (write error) and 4 (wrong password);
updated pp-script "EMail.py" to support new unpack-statuses;
- fixed a potential seg. fault in a commonly used function;
- added new option "TimeCorrection" to adjust conversion from system
time to local time (solves issues with scheduler when using a
binary compiled for other platform);
- NZBIDs are now generated with more care avoiding numbering holes
possible in previous versions;
- fixed: invalid "Offset" passed to RPC-method "editqueue" or command
line action "-E/--edit" could crash the program;
- fixed: crash after downloading of an URL (happen only on certain systems);
- fixed: restoring of settings didn't work for multi-sections (servers,
categories, etc.) if they were empty;
- fixed: choosing local files didn't work in Opera;
- fixed: certain characters printed by pp-scripts could crash the
program;
- fixed: malformed nzb-file could cause a memory leak;
- fixed: when a duplicate file was detected in collection it was
automatically deleted (if option DupeCheck is active) but the
total size of collection was not updated;
- when deleting individual files the total count of files in collection
was not updated;
- fixed: when multiple nzb-files were added via URL (rss including) at
the same time the info about category and priority could get lost for
some of files;
- fixed: if unpack fails the created destination directory was not
automatically removed (only if option "InterDir" was active);
- fixed scrolling to the top of page happening by clicking on items in
downloads/history lists and on action-buttons in edit-download and
history dialogs;
- fixed potential buffer overflow in remote client;
- improved error reporting when creation of temporary output file fails;
- fixed: when deleting download, if all remaining queued files are
par2-files the disk cleanup should not be performed, but it was
sometimes;
- fixed a potential problem in incorrect using of one library function.
nzbget-11.0:
- reworked concept of post-processing scripts:
- multiple scripts can be assigned to each nzb-file;
- all assigned scripts are executed after the nzb-file is
downloaded and internally processed (unpack, repair);
- option <PostProcess> is obsolete;
- new option <ScriptDir> sets directory where all pp-scripts must
be stored;
- new option <DefScript> sets the default list of pp-scripts to
be assigned to nzb-file when it's added to queue;
- new option <CategoryX.DefScript> to set the default list of
pp-scripts on a category basis;
- the execution order of pp-scripts can be set using new option
<ScriptOrder>;
- there are no separate configuration files for pp-scripts;
- configuration options and pp-parameters are defined in the
pp-scripts;
- script configuration options are saved in nzbget configuration
file (nzbget.conf);
- changed parameters list of RPC-methods <loadconfig> and
<saveconfig>;
- new RPC-method <configtemplates> returns configuration
descriptions for the program and for all pp-scripts;
- configuration of all scripts can be done in web-interface;
- the pp-scripts assigned to a particular nzb-file can be viewed
and changed in web-interface on page <pp-parameters> in the
edit download dialog;
- option <PostPauseQueue> renamed to <ScriptPauseQueue> (the old
name is still recognized);
- new option <ConfigTemplate> to define the location of template
configuration file (in previous versions it must be always
stored in <WebDir>);
- history dialog shows status of every script;
- the old example post-processing script replaced with two new scripts:
- EMail.py - sends E-Mail notification;
- Logger.py - saves the full post-processing log of the job into
file _postprocesslog.txt;
- both pp-scripts are written in python and work on Windows too
(in addition to Linux, Mac, etc.);
- added possibility to set post-processing parameters for history items:
- pp-parameters can now be viewed and changed in history dialog
in web-interface;
- useful before post-processing again;
- new action <HistorySetParameter> in RPC-method <editqueue>;
- new action <O> in remote command <--edit/-E> for history items
(subcommand <H>);
- added new feature <split download> which creates new download from
selected files of source download;
- new command <Split> in web-interface in edit download dialog
on page <Files>;
- new action <S> in remote command <--edit/-E>;
- new action <FileSplit> in JSON-/XML-RPC method <editqueue>;
- added support for manual par-check:
- if option <ParCheck> is set to <Manual> and a damaged download
is detected the program downloads all par2-files but doesn't
perform par-check; the user must perform par-check/repair
manually then (possibly on another, faster computer);
- old values <yes/no> of option <ParCheck> renamed to <Force>
and <Auto> respectively;
- when set to <Force> all par2-files are always downloaded;
- removed option <LoadPars> since its functionality is now
covered by option <ParCheck>;
- result of par-check can now have new value <Manual repair
necessary>;
- field <ParStatus> in RPC-method <history> can have new value
<MANUAL>;
- parameter <NZBPP_PARSTATUS> for pp-script can have new value
<4 = manual repair necessary>;
- when download is resumed in web-interface the option <ParCheck=Force>
is respected and all par2-files are resumed (not only main par2-file);
- automatic deletion of backup-source files after successful par-repair;
important when repairing renamed rar-files since this could cause
failure during unpack;
- par-checker and renamer now add messages into the log of pp-item
(like unpack- and pp-scripts-messages); these message now appear in
the log created by scripts Logger.py and EMail.py;
- when a nzb-file is added via web-interface or via remote call the
file is now put into incoming nzb-directory (option "NzbDir") and
then scanned; this has two advantages over the old behavior when the
file was parsed directly in memory:
- the file serves as a backup for troubleshootings;
- the file is processed by nzbprocess-script (if defined in
option "NzbProcess") making the pre-processing much easier;
- new env-var parameters are passed to NzbProcess-script: NZBNP_NZBNAME,
NZBNP_CATEGORY, NZBNP_PRIORITY, NZBNP_TOP, NZBNP_PAUSED;
- new commands for use in NzbProcess-scripts: "[NZB] TOP=1" to add nzb
to the top of queue and "[NZB] PAUSED=1" to add nzb-file in paused state;
- reworked post-processor queue:
- only one job is created for each nzb-file; no more separate
jobs are created for par-collections within one nzb-file;
- option <AllowReProcess> removed; a post-processing script is
called only once per nzb-file, this behavior cannot be altered
anymore;
- with a new feature <Split> individual par-collections can be
processed separately in a more effective way than before
- improved unicode (utf8) support:
- non-ascii characters are now correctly transferred via JSON-RPC;
- correct displaying of nzb-names and paths in web-interface;
- it is now possible to use non-ascii characters on settings page
for option values (such as paths or category names);
- improved unicode support in XML-RPC and JSON-RPC;
- if username and password are defined for a news-server the
authentication is now forced (in previous versions the authentication
was performed only if requested by server); needed for servers
supporting both anonymous (restricted) and authorized (full access)
accounts;
- added option <ExtCleanupDisk> to automatically delete unwanted files
(with specified extensions or names) after successful par-check or unpack;
- improvement in JSON-/XML-RPC:
- all ID fields including NZBID are now persistent and remain
their values after restart;
- this allows for third-party software to identify nzb-files by
ID;
- method <history> now returns ID of NZB-file in the field
<NZBID>;
- in versions up to 0.8.0 the field <NZBID> was used to identify
history items in the edit-commands <HistoryDelete>,
<HistoryReturn>, <HistoryProcess>; since version 9 field <ID>
is used for this purpose; in versions 9-10 field <NZBID> still
existed and had the same value as field <ID> for compatibility
with version 0.8.0; the compatibility is not provided anymore;
this change was needed to provide a consistent using of field
<NZBID> across all RPC-methods;
- added support for rar-files with non-standard extensions (such as
.001, etc.);
- added functions to backup and restore settings from web-interface;
when restoring it's possible to choose what sections to restore
(for example only news servers settings or only settings of a
certain pp-script) or restore the whole configuration;
- new option "ControlUsername" to define login user name (if you don't
like default username "nzbget");
- if a communication error occurs in web-interface, it retries multiple
times before giving up with an error message;
- the maximum number of download threads are now managed automatically
taking into account the number of allowed connections to news servers;
removed option <ThreadLimit>;
- pp-scripts terminated with unknown status are now considered failed
(status=FAILURE instead of status=UNKNOWN);
- new parameter (env. var) <NZBPP_NZBID> is passed to pp_scripts and
contains an internal ID of NZB-file;
- improved thread synchronisation to avoid (short-time) lockings of
the program during creation of destination files;
- more detailed error message if a directory could not be created
(<DstDir>, <NzbDir>, etc.); the message includes error text reported
by OS such as <permission denied> or similar;
- when unpacking the unpack start time is now measured after receiving
of unrar copyright message; this provides better unpack time
estimation in a case when user uses unpack-script to do some things
before executing unrar (for example sending Wake-On-Lan message to
the destination NAS); it works with unrar only, it's not possible
with 7-Zip because it buffers printed messages;
- when the program is reloaded, a message with version number is
printed like on start;
- configuration can now be saved in web-interface even if there were
no changes made but if obsolete or invalid options were detected in
the config file; the saving removes invalid entries from config file;
- option <ControlPassword> can now be set to en empty value to disable
authentication; useful if nzbget works behind other web-server with
its own authentication;
- when deleting downloads via web-interface a proper hint regarding
deleting of already downloaded files from disk depending on option
<DeleteCleanupDisk> is displayed;
- if a news-server returns empty or bad article (this may be caused
by errors on the news server), the program tries again from the same
or other servers (in previous versions the article was marked as
failed without other download attempts);
- when a nzb-file whose name ends with ".queued" is added via web-
interface the ".queued"-part is automatically removed;
- small improvement in multithread synchronization of download queue;
- added link to catalog of pp-scripts to web-interface;
- updated forum URL in about dialog in web-interface;
- small correction in a log-message: removed <Request:> from message
<Request: Queue collection...>;
- removed option "ProcessLogKind"; scripts should use prefixes ([INFO],
[DETAIL], etc); messages printed without prefixes are added as [INFO];
- removed option "AppendNzbDir"; if it was disabled that caused problems
in par-checker and unpacker; the option is now assumed always active;
- removed option "RenameBroken"; it caused problems in par-checker
(the option existed since early program versions before the par-check
was added);
- configure-script now defines "SIGCHLD_HANDLER" by default on all
systems including BSD; this eliminates the need of configure-
parameter "--enable-sigchld-handler" on 64-Bit BSD; the trade-off:
32-Bit BSD now requires "--disable-sigchld-handler";
- improved configure-script: defining of symbol "FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64",
required on some systems, is not necessary anymore;
- fixed: in the option "NzbAddedProcess" the env-var parameter with
nzb-name was passed in "NZBNA_NAME", should be "NZBNA_NZBNAME";
the old parameter name "NZBNA_NAME" is still supported for
compatibility;
- fixed: download time in statistics were incorrect if the computer
was put into standby (thanks Frank Kuypers for the patch);
- fixed: when option <InterDir> was active and the download after
unpack contained rar-file with the same name as one of original
files (sometimes happen with included subtitles) the original
rar-file was kept with name <.rar_duplicate1> even if the option
<UnpackCleanupDisk> was active;
- fixed: failed to read download queue from disk if post-processing
queue was not empty;
- fixed: when a duplicate file was detected during download the
program could hang;
- fixed: symbol <DISABLE_TLS> must be defined in project settings;
defining it in <win32.h> didn't work properly (Windows only);
- fixed: crash when adding malformed nzb-files with certain
structure (Windows only);
- fixed: by deleting of a partially downloaded nzb-file from queue,
when the option <DeleteCleanupDisk> was active, the file
<_brokenlog.txt> was not deleted preventing the directory from
automatic deletion;
- fixed: if an error occurs when a RPC-client or web-browser
communicates with nzbget the program could crash;
- fixed: if the last file of collection was detected as duplicate
after the download of the first article the file was deleted from
queue (that's OK) but the post-processing was not triggered
(that's a bug);
- fixed: support for splitted files (.001, .002, etc.) were broken.
nzbget-10.2:
- fixed potential segfault which could happen with file paths longer
than 1024 characters;
- fixed: when options <DirectWrite> and <ContinuePartial> were both
active, a restart or reload of the program during download may cause
damaged files in the active download;
- increased width of speed indication ui-element to avoid layout
breaking on some linux-browsers;
- fixed a race condition in unpacker which could lead to a segfault
(although the chances were low because the code wasn't executed often).
nzbget-10.1:
- fixed: articles with decoding errors (incomplete or damaged posts)
caused infinite retry-loop in downloader.
nzbget-10.0:
- added built-in unpack:
- rar and 7-zip formats are supported (via external Unrar and
7-Zip executables);
- new options <Unpack>, <UnpackPauseQueue>, <UnpackCleanupDisk>,
<UnrarCmd>, <SevenZipCmd>;
- web-interface now shows progress and estimated time during
unpack (rar only; for 7-Zip progress is not available due to
limitations of 7-Zip);
- when built-in unpack is enabled, the post-processing script is
called after unpack and possibly par-check/repair (if needed);
- for nzb-files containing multiple collections (par-sets) the
post-processing script is called only once, after the last
par-set;
- new parameter <NZBPP_UNPACKSTATUS> passed to post-processing
script;
- if the option <AllowReProcess> is enabled the post-processing-
script is called after each par-set (as in previous versions);
- example post-processing script updated: removed unrar-code,
added check for unpack status;
- new field <UnpackStatus> in result of RPC-method <history>;
- history-dialog in web-interface shows three status: par-status,
unpack-status, script-status;
- with two built-in special post-processing parameters <*Unpack:>
and <*Unpack:Password> the unpack can be disabled for individual
nzb-file or the password can be set;
- built-in special post-processing parameters can be set via web-
interface on page <PP-Parameters> (when built-in unpack is
enabled);
- added support for HTTPS to the built-in web-server (web-interface and
XML/JSON-RPC):
- new options <SecureControl>, <SecurePort>, <SecureCert> and
<SecureKey>;
- module <TLS.c/h> completely rewritten with support for server-
side sockets, newer versions of GnuTLS, proper thread lockings
in OpenSSL;
- improved the automatic par-scan (option <ParScan=auto>) to
significantly reduce the verify-time in some common cases with renamed
rar-files:
- the extra files are scanned in an optimized order;
- the scan stops when all missings files are found;
- added fast renaming of intentionally misnamed (rar-) files:
- the new renaming algorithm doesn't require full par-scan and
restores original filenames in just a few seconds, even on very
slow computers (NAS, media players, etc.);
- the fast renaming is performed automatically when requested by
the built-in unpacker (option <Unpack> must be active);
- added new option <InterDir> to put intermediate files during download
into a separate directory (instead of storing them directly in
destination directory (option <DestDir>):
- when nzb-file is completely (successfully) downloaded, repaired
(if neccessary) and unpacked the files are moved to destination
directory (option <DestDir> or <CategoryX.DestDir>);
- intermediate directory can significantly improve unpack
performance if it is located on a separate physical hard drive;
- added new option <ServerX.Cipher> to manually select cipher for
encrypted communication with news server:
- manually choosing a faster cipher (such as <RC4>) can
significantly improve performance (if CPU is a limiting factor);
- major improvements in news-server/connection management (main and fill
servers):
- if download of article fails, the program tries all servers of
the same level before trying higher level servers;
- this ensures that fill servers are used only if all main servers
fail;
- this makes the configuring of multiple servers much easier than
before: in most cases the simple configuration of level 0 for
all main servers and level 1 for all fill servers suffices;
- in previous versions the level was increased immediately after
the first tried server of the level failed; to make sure all
main servers were tried before downloading from fill servers it
was required to create complex server configurations with
duplicates; these configurations were still not as effective as
now;
- do not reconnect on <article/group not found> errors since this
doesn't help but unnecessary increases CPU load and network
traffic;
- removed option <RetryOnCrcError>; it's not required anymore;
- new option <ServerX.Group> allows more flexible configuration
of news servers when using multiple accounts on the same server;
with this option it's also possible to imitate the old server
management behavior regarding levels;
- news servers configuration is now less error-prone:
- the option <ServerX.Level> is not required to start from <0> and
when several news servers are configured the Levels can be any
integers - the program sorts the servers and corrects the Levels
to 0,1,2,etc. automatically if needed;
- when option <ServerX.Connections> is set to <0> the server is
ignored (in previous version such a server could cause hanging
when the program was trying to go to the next level);
- if no news servers are defined (or all definitions are invalid)
a warning is printed to inform that the download is not
possible;
- categories can now have their own destination directories; new option
<CategoryX.DestDir>;
- new feature <Pause for X Minutes> in web-interface; new XML-/JSON-RPC
method <scheduleresume>;
- improved the handling of hanging connections: if a connection hangs
longer than defined by option <ConnectionTimeout> the program tries to
gracefully close connection first (this is new); if it still hangs
after <TerminateTimeout> the download thread is terminated as a last
resort (as in previous versions);
- added automatic speed meter recalibration to recover after possible
synchronization errors which can occur when the option <AccurateRate>
is not active; this makes the default (less accurate but fast) speed
meter almost as good as the accurate one; important when speed
throttling is active;
- when the par-checked requests more par-files, they get an extra
priority and are downloaded before other files regardless of their
priorities; this is needed to avoid hanging of par-checker-job if a
file with a higher priority gets added to queue during par-check;
- when post-processing-parameters are passed to the post-processing
script a second version of each parameter with a normalized parameter-
name is passed in addition to the original parameter name; in the
normalized name the special characters <*> and <:> are replaced with
<_> and all characters are passed in upper case; this is important for
internal post-processing-parameters (*Unpack:=yes/no) which include
special characters;
- warning <Non-nzbget request received> now is not printed when the
connection was aborted before the request signature was read;
- changed formatting of remaining time for post-processing to short
format (as used for remaining download time);
- added link to article <Performance tips> to settings tab on web-
interface;
- removed hint <Post-processing script may have moved files elsewhere>
from history dialog since it caused more questions than helped;
- changed default value for option <ServerX.JoinGroup> to <no>; most
news servers nowadays do not require joining the group and many
servers do not keep headers for many groups making the join-command
fail even if the articles still can be successfully downloaded;
- small change in example post-processing script: message <Deleting
source ts-files> are now printed only if ts-files really existed;
- improved configure-script:
- libs which are added via pkgconfig are now put into LIBS instead
of LDFLAGS - improves compatibility with newer Linux linkers;
- OpenSSL libs/includes are now added using pkgconfig to better
handle dependencies;
- additional check for libcrypto (part of OpenSSL) ensures the
library is added to linker command even if pkgconfig is not
used;
- adding of local files via web-interface now works in IE10;
- if an obsolete option is found in the config file a warning is printed
instead of an error and the program is not paused anymore;
- fixed: the reported line numbers for configuration errors were
sometimes inaccurate;
- fixed warning <file glyphicons-halflings.png not found>;
- fixed: some XML-/JSON-RPC methods may return negative values for file
sizes between 2-4GB; this had also influence on web-interface.
- fixed: if an external program (unrar, pp-script, etc.) could not be
started, the execute-function has returned code 255 although the code
-1 were expected in this case; this could break designed post-
processing flow;
- fixed: some characters with codes below 32 were not properly encoded
in JSON-RPC; sometimes output from unrar contained such characters
and could break web-interface;
- fixed: special characters (quotation marks, etc.) in unpack password
and in configuration options were not displayed properly and could be
discarded on saving;
nzbget-9.1:
- added full par-scan feature needed to par-check/repair files which
were renamed after creation of par-files:
- new option <ParScan> to activate full par-scan (always or automatic);
the automatic full par-scan activates if missing files are detected
during par-check, this avoids unnecessary full scan for normal
(not renamed) par sets;
- improved the post-processing script to better handle renamed rar-files;
- replaced a browser error message when trying to add local files in
IE9 with a better message dialog;
nzbget-9.0:
- changed version naming scheme by removing the leading zero: current
version is now called 9.0 instead of 0.9.0 (it's really the 9th major
version of the program);
- added built-in web-interface:
- completely new designed and written from scratch;
- doesn't require a separate web-server;
- doesn't require PHP;
- 100% Javascript application; the built-in web-server hosts only
static files; the javascript app communicates with NZBGet via
JSON-RPC;
- very efficient usage of server resources (CPU and memory);
- easy installation. Since neither a separate web-server nor PHP
are needed the installation of new web-interface is very easy.
Actually it is performed automatically when you "make install"
or "ipkg install nzbget";
- modern look: better layout, popup dialogs, nice animations,
hi-def icons;
- built-in phone-theme (activates automatically);
- combined view for "currently downloading", "queued", "currently
processing" and "queued for processing";
- renaming of nzb-files;
- multiselect with multiedit or merge of downloads;
- fast paging in the lists (downloads, history, messages);
- search box for filtering in the lists (downloads, history, messages)
and in settings;
- adding nzb-files to download queue was improved in several ways:
- add multiple files at once. The "select files dialog" allows
to select multiple files;
- add files using drag and drop. Just drop the files from your
file manager directly into the web-browser;
- add files via URLs. Put the URL and NZBGet downloads the
nzb-file and adds it to download queue automatically;
- the priority of nzb-file can now be set when adding local-files
or URLs;
- the history can be cleared completely or selected items can be removed;
- file mode is now nzb-file related;
- added the ability to queue URLs:
- the program automatically downloads nzb-files from given URLs
and put them to download queue.
- when multiple URLs are added in a short time, they are put
into a special URL-queue.
- the number of simultaneous URL-downloads are controlled via
new option UrlConnections.
- with the new option ReloadUrlQueue can be controlled if the URL-queue
should be reloaded after the program is restarted (if the URL-queue
was not empty).
- new switch <-U> for remote-command <--append/-A> to queue an URL.
- new subcommand <-U> in the remote command <--list/-L> prints the
current URL-queue.
- if URL-download fails, the URL is moved into history.
- with subcommand <-R> of command <--edit> the failed URL can be
returned to URL-queue for redownload.
- the remote command <--list/-L> for history can now print the infos
for URL history items.
- new XML/JSON-RPC command <appendurl> to add an URL or multiple
URLs for download.
- new XML/JSON-RPC command <urlqueue> returns the items from the
URL-queue.
- the XML/JSON-RPC command <history> was extended to provide
infos about URL history items.
- the URL-queue obeys the pause-state of download queue.
- the URL-downloads support HTTP and HTTPS protocols;
- added new field <name> to nzb-info-object.
- it is initially set to the cleaned up name of the nzb-file.
- the renaming of the group changes this field.
- all RPC-methods related to nzb-object return the new field, the
old field <NZBNicename> is now deprecated.
- the option <MergeNZB> now checks the <name>-field instead of
<nzbfilename> (the latter is not changed when the nzb is renamed).
- new env-var-parameter <NZBPP_NZBNAME> for post-processing script;
- added options <GN> and <FN> for remote command <--edit/-E>. With these
options the name of group or file can be used in edit-command instead
of file ID;
- added support for regular expressions (POSIX ERE Syntax) in remote
commands <--list/-L> and <--edit/-E> using new subcommands <GR> and <FR>;
- improved performance of RPC-command <listgroups>;
- added new command <FileReorder> to RPC-method <editqueue> to set the
order of individual files in the group;
- added gzip-support to built-in web-server (including RPC);
- added processing of http-request <OPTIONS> in RPC-server for better
support of cross domain requests;
- renamed example configuration file and postprocessing script to make
the installation easier;
- improved the automatic installation (<make install>) to install all
necessary files (not only the binary as it was before);
- improved handling of configuration errors: the program now does not
terminate on errors but rather logs all of them and uses default option values;
- added new XML/JSON-RPC methods <config>, <loadconfig> and <saveconfig>;
- with active option <AllowReProcess> the NZB considered completed even if
there are paused non-par-files (the paused non-par-files are treated the
same way as paused par-files): as a result the reprocessable script is called;
- added subcommand <W> to remote command <-S/--scan> to scan synchronously
(wait until scan completed);
- added parameter <SyncMode> to XML/JSON-RPC method <scan>;
- the command <Scan> in web-interface now waits for completing of scan
before reporting the status;
- added remote command <--reload/-O> and JSON/XML-RPC method <reload> to
reload configuration from disk and reintialize the program; the reload
can be performed from web-interface;
- JSON/XML-RPC method <append> extended with parameter <priority>;
- categories available in web-interface are now configured in program
configuration file (nzbget.conf) and can be managed via web-interface
on settings page;
- updated descriptions in example configuration file;
- changes in configuration file:
- renamed options <ServerIP>, <ServerPort> and <ServerPassword> to
<ControlIP>, <ControlPort> and <ControlPassword> to avoid confusion
with news-server options <ServerX.Host>, <ServerX.Port> and
<ServerX.Password>;
- the old option names are still recognized and are automatically
renamed when the configuration is saved from web-interface;
- also renamed option <$MAINDIR> to <MainDir>;
- extended remote command <--append/-A> with optional parameters:
- <T> - adds the file/URL to the top of queue;
- <P> - pauses added files;
- <C category-name> - sets category for added nzb-file/URL;
- <N nzb-name> - sets nzb filename for added URL;
- the old switches <--category/-K> and <--top/-T> are deprecated
but still supported for compatibility;
- renamed subcommand <K> of command <--edit/-E> to <C> (the old
subcommand is still supported for compatibility);
- added new option <NzbAddedProcess> to setup a script called after
a nzb-file is added to queue;
- added debug messages for speed meter;
- improved the startup script <nzbgetd> so it can be directly used in
</etc/init.d> without modifications;
- fixed: after renaming of a group, the new name was not displayed
by remote commands <-L G> and <-C in curses mode>;
- fixed incompatibility with OpenSLL 1.0 (thanks to OpenWRT team
for the patch);
- fixed: RPC-method <log(0, IdFrom)> could return wrong results if
the log was filtered with options <XXXTarget>;
- fixed: free disk space calculated incorrectly on some OSes;
- fixed: unrar failure was not always properly detected causing the
post-processing to delete not yet unpacked rar-files;
- fixed compilation error on recent linux versions;
- fixed compilation error on older systems;
nzbget-0.8.0:
- added priorities; new action <I> for remote command <--edit/-E> to set
priorities for groups or individual files; new actions <SetGroupPriority>
and <SetFilePriority> of RPC-command <editqueue>; remote command
<--list/-L> prints priorities and indicates files or groups being
downloaded; ncurses-frontend prints priorities and indicates files or
groups being download; new command <PRIORITY> to set priority of nzb-file
from nzbprocess-script; RPC-commands <listgroups> and <listfiles> return
priorities and indicate files or groups being downloaded;
- added renaming of groups; new subcommand <N> for command <--edit/-E>; new
action <SetName> for RPC-method <editqueue>;
- added new option <AccurateRate>, which enables syncronisation in speed
meter; that makes the indicated speed more accurate by eliminating
measurement errors possible due thread conflicts; thanks to anonymous
nzbget user for the patch;
- improved the parsing of filename from article subject;
- option <DirectWrite> now efficiently works on Windows with NTFS partitions;
- added URL-based-authentication as alternative to HTTP-header authentication
for XML- and JSON-RPC;
- fixed: nzb-files containing umlauts and other special characters could not
be parsed - replaced XML-Reader with SAX-Parser - only on POSIX (not on
Windows);
- fixed incorrect displaying of group sizes bigger than 4GB on many 64-bit
OSes;
- fixed a bug causing error on decoding of input data in JSON-RPC;
- fixed a compilation error on some windows versions;
- fixed: par-repair could fail when the filenames were not correctly parsed
from article subjects;
- fixed a compatibility issue with OpenBSD (and possibly other BSD based
systems); added the automatic configuring of required signal handling logic
to better support BSD without breaking the compatibility with certain Linux
systems;
- corrected the address of Free Software Foundation in copyright notice.
nzbget-0.7.0:
- added history: new option <KeepHistory>, new remote subcommand <H> for
commands <L> (list history entries) and <E> (delete history entries,
return history item, postprocess history item), new RPC-command <History>
and subcommands <HistoryDelete>, <HistoryReturn>, <HistoryProcess> for
command <EditQueue>;
- added support for JSON-P (extension of JSON-RPC);
- changed the result code returning status <ERROR> for postprocessing script
from <1> to <94> (needed to show the proper script status in history);
- improved the detection of new files in incoming nzb directory: now the
scanner does not rely on system datum, but tracks the changing of file
sizes during a last few (<NzbDirFileAge>) seconds instead;
- improvements in example postprocessing script: 1) if download contains
only par2-files the script do not delete them during cleanup;
2) if download contains only nzb-files the script moves them to incoming
nzb-directory for further download;
- improved formatting of groups and added time info in curses output mode;
- added second pause register, which is independent of main pause-state and
therfore is intended for usage from external scripts;
that allows to pause download without interfering with options
<ParPauseQueue> and <PostPauseQueue> and scheduler tasks <PauseDownload>
and <UnpauseDownload> - they all work with first (default) pause register;
new subcommand <D2> for commands <--pause/-P> and <--unpause/-U>;
new RPC-command <pausedownload2> and <resumedownload2>;
existing RPC-commands <pause> und <resume> renamed to <pausedownload> and
<resumedownload>;
new field <Download2Paused> in result struct for RPC-command <status>;
existing fields <ServerPaused> and <ParJobCount> renamed to
<DownloadPaused> and <PostJobCount>;
old RPC-commands and fields still exist for compatibility;
the status output of command <--list/-L> indicates the state of second
pause register;
key <P> in curses-frontend can unpause second pause-register;
- nzbprocess-script (option <NZBProcess>) can now set category and
post-processing parameters for nzb-file;
- redesigned server pool and par-checker to avoid using of semaphores
(which are very platform specific);
- added subcommand <S> to remote commands <--pause/-P> and <--unpause/-U> to
pause/unpause the scanning of incoming nzb-directory;
- added commands <PauseScan> and <UnpauseScan> for scheduler option
<TaskX.Command>;
- added remote commands <PauseScan> and <ResumeScan> for XML-/JSON-RPC;
- command <pause post-processing> now not only pauses the post-processing
queue but also pauses the current post-processing job (par-job or
script-job);
however the script-job can be paused only after the next line printed to
screen;
- improved error reporting while parsing nzb-files;
- added field <NZBID> to NZBInfo; the field is now returned by XML-/JSON-RPC
methods <listfiles>, <listgroups> and <postqueue>;
- improvements in configure script;
- added support for platforms without IPv6 (they do not have <getaddrinfo>);
- debug-messages generated on early stages during initializing are now
printed to screen/log-file;
- messages about obsolete options are now printed to screen/log-file;
- imporved example postprocessing script: added support for external
configuration file, postprocessing parameters and configuration via
web-interface;
- option <TaskX.Process> now can contain parameters which must be passed
to the script;
- added pausing/resuming for post-processor queue;
added new modifier <O> to remote commands <--pause/-P> and <--unpause/-U>;
added new commands <postpause> and <postresume> to XML-/JSON-RPC;
extended output of remote command <--list/-L> to indicate paused state
of post-processor queue; extended command <status> of XML-/JSON-RPC
with field <PostPause>;
- changed the command line syntax for requesting of post-processor queue
from <-O> to <-L O> for consistency with other post-queue related
commands (<-P O>, <-U O> and <-E O>);
- improved example post-processing script: added support for delayed
par-check (try unrar first, par-repair if unrar failed);
- added modifier <O> to command <-E/--edit> for editing of
post-processor-queue;
following subcommands are supported: <+/-offset>, <T>, <B>, <D>;
subcommand <D> supports deletion of queued post-jobs and active job as well;
deletion of active job means the cancelling of par-check/repair or
terminating of post-processing-script (including child processes of the
script);
updated remote-server to support new edit-subcommands in XML/JSON-RPC;
- extended the syntax of option <TaskX.Time> in two ways:
1) it now accepts multiple comma-separated values;
2) an asterix as hours-part means <every hour>;
- added svn revision number to version string (commands <-v> and <-V>,
startup log entry);
svn revision is automatically read from svn-repository on each build;
- added estimated remaining time and better distinguishing of server state
in command <--list/-L>;
- added new return code (93) for post-processing script to indicate
successful processing; that results in cleaning up of download queue
if option <ParCleanupQueue> is active;
- added readonly options <AppBin>, <ConfigFile> and <Version> for usage
in processing scripts (options are available as environment variables
<NZBOP_APPBIN>, <NZBOP_CONFIGFILE> and <NZBOP_VERSION>);
- renamed ParStatus constant <FAILED> to <FAILURE> for a consistence with
ScriptStatus constant <FAILURE>, that also affects the results of
RPC-command <history>;
- added a new return code <95/POSTPROCESS_NONE> for post-processing scripts
for cases when pp-script skips all post-processing work (typically upon
a user's request via a pp-parameter);
modified the example post-processing script to return the new code
instead of a error code when a pp-parameter <PostProcess> was set to <no>;
- added field <PostTime> to result of RPC-Command <listfiles> and fields
<MinPostTime> and <MaxPostTime> for command <listgroups>;
- in <curses> and <colored> output-modes the download speed is now printed
with one decimal digit when the speed is lower than 10 KB/s;
- improvement in example post-processing script: added check for existence
of <unrar> and command <wc>;
- added shell batch file for windows (nzbget-shell.bat);
thanks to orbisvicis (orbisvicis@users.sourceforge.net) for the script;
- added debian style init script (nzbgetd);
thanks to orbisvicis (orbisvicis@users.sourceforge.net) for the script;
- added the returning of a proper HTTP error code if the authorization was
failed on RPC-calls;
thanks to jdembski (jdembski@users.sourceforge.net) for the patch;
- changed the sleep-time during the throttling of bandwidth from 200ms to
10ms in order to achieve better uniformity;
- modified example postprocessing script to not use the command <dirname>,
which is not always available;
thanks to Ger Teunis for the patch;
- improved example post-processing script: added the check for existence
of destination directory to return a proper ERROR-code (important for
reprocessing of history items);
- by saving the queue to disk now using relative paths for the list of
compeled files to reduce the file's size;
- eliminated few compiler warnings on GCC;
- fixed: when option <DaemonUserName> was specified and nzbget was
started as root, the lockfile was not removed;
- fixed: nothing was downloaded when the option <Retries> was set to <0>;
- fixed: base64 decoding function used by RPC-method <append> sometimes
failed, in particular when called from Ruby-language;
- fixed: JSON-RPC-commands failed, if parameters were placed before method
name in the request;
- fixed: RPC-method <append> did not work properly on Posix systems
(it worked only on Windows);
- fixed compilation error when using native curses library on OpenSolaris;
- fixed linking error on OpenSolaris when using GnuTLS;
- fixed: option <ContinuePartial> did not work;
- fixed: seg. fault in service mode on program start (Windows only);
- fixed: environment block was not passed correctly to child process,
what could result in seg faults (windows only);
- fixed: returning the postprocessing exit code <92 - par-check all
collections> when there were no par-files results in endless calling
of postprocessing script;
- fixed compatibility issues with OS/2.
nzbget-0.6.0:
- added scheduler; new options <TaskX.Time>, <TaskX.WeekDays>,
<TaskX.Command>, <TaskX.DownloadRate> and <TaskX.Process>;
- added support for postprocess-parameters; new subcommand <O> of remote
command <E> to add/modify pp-parameter for group (nzb-file); new
XML-/JSON-RPC-subcommand <GroupSetParameter> of method <editqueue> for
the same purpose; updated example configuration file and example
postprocess-script to indicate new method of passing arguments via
environment variables;
- added subcommands <F>, <G> and <S> to command line switch <-L/--list>,
which prints list of files, groups or only status info respectively;
extended binary communication protocol to transfer nzb-infos in addition
to file-infos;
- added new subcommand <M> to edit-command <E> for merging of two (or more)
groups (useful after adding pars from a separate nzb-file);
- added option <MergeNzb> to automatically merge nzb-files with the same
filename (useful by adding pars from a different source);
- added script-processing of files in incoming directory to allow automatic
unpacking and queueing of compressed nzb-files; new option <NzbProcess>;
- added the printing of post-process-parameters for groups in command
<--list G>;
- added the printing of nzbget version into the log-file on start;
- added option <DeleteCleanupDisk> to automatically delete already downloaded
files from disk if nzb-file was deleted from queue (the download was
cancelled);
- added option <ParTimeLimit> to define the max time allowed for par-repair;
- added command <--scan/-S> to execute the scan of nzb-directory on remote
server;
- changed the method to pass arguments to postprocess/nzbprocess: now using
environment variables (old method is still supported for compatibility with
existing scripts);
- added the passing of nzbget-options to postprocess/nzbprocess scripts as
environment variables;
- extended the communication between nzbget and post-process-script:
collections are now detected even if parcheck is disabled;
- added support for delayed par-check/repair: post-process-script can request
par-check/repair using special exit codes to repair current collection or
all collections;
- implemented the normalizing of option names and values in option list; the
command <-p> also prints normalized names and values now; that makes the
parsing of output of command <-p> for external scripts easier;
- replaced option <PostLogKind> with new option <ProcessLogKind> which is now
used by all scripts (PostProcess, NzbProcess, TaskX.Process);
- improved entering to paused state on connection errors (do not retry failed
downloads if pause was activated);
- improved error reporting on decoding failures;
- improved compatibility of yenc-decoder;
- improved the speed of deleting of groups from download queue (by avoiding
the saving of queue after the deleting of each individual file);
- updated configure-script for better compatibility with FreeBSD;
- cleaning up of download queue (option <ParCleanupQueue>) and deletion of
source nzb-file (option <NzbCleanupDisk>) after par-repair now works also
if par-repair was cancelled (option <ParTimeLimit>); since required
par-files were already downloaded the repair in an external tool is
possible;
- added workaround to avoid hangs in child processes (by starting of
postprocess or nzbprocess), observed on uClibC based systems;
- fixed: TLS/SSL didn't work in standalone mode;
- fixed compatibility issues with Mac OS X;
- fixed: not all necessary par2-files were unpaused on first request for
par-blocks (although harmless, because additional files were unpaused
later anyway);
- fixed small memory leak appeared if process-script could not be started;
- fixed: configure-script could not detect the right syntax for function
<ctime_r> on OpenSolaris.
- fixed: files downloaded with disabled decoder (option decode=no) sometimes
were malformed and could not be decoded;
- fixed: empty string parameters did not always work in XML-RPC.
nzbget-0.5.1:
- improved the check of server responses to prevent unnecessary retrying
if the article does not exist on server;
- fixed: seg.fault in standalone mode if used without specifying the
category (e.g. without switch <-K>);
- fixed: download speed indicator could report not-null values in
standby-mode (when paused);
- fixed: parameter <category> in JSON/XML-RPC was not properly decoded by
server, makin

now must be pressed in uppercase;
- options <username> and <password> in news-server's configuration are now
optional;
- added the server's name to the detail-log-message, displayed on the start
of article's download;
- added the option <AllowReProcess> to help to post-process-scripts, which
make par-check/-repair on it's own;
- improved download-speed-meter: it uses now a little bit less cpu and
calculates the speed for the last 30 seconds (instead of 5 seconds),
providing better accuracy; Thanks to ydrol <ydrol@users.sourceforge.net>
for the patch;
- reduced CPU-usage in curses-outputmode; Thanks to ydrol for the patch
<ydrol@users.sourceforge.net>;

read properly;
- fixed: trailing spaces in nzb-filenames (before the file's extension)
caused errors on windows. Now they will be trimmed;

(but worked via JSON-RPC);
- fixed incompatibility issues with gcc 4.3; Thanks to Paul Bredbury
<brebs@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch;
- fixed: segmentation fault if a file listed in nzb-file does not have any
segments (articles);
nzbget-0.4.0:
- added the support for XML-RPC and JSON-RPC to easier control the server
from other applications;
- added web-interface - it is available for download from nzbget-project's
home page as a separate package "web-interface";
- added the automatic cleaning up of the download queue (deletion of unneeded
paused par-files) after successful par-check/repair - new
option <ParCleanupQueue>;
- added option <DetailTarget> to allow to filter the (not so important)
log-messages from articles' downloads (they have now the type <detail>
instead of <info>);
- added the gathering of progress-information during par-check; it is
available via XML-RPC or JSON-RPC; it is also showed in web-interface;
- improvements in internal decoder: added support for yEnc-files without
ypart-statement (sometimes used for small files); added support for
UU-format;
- removed support for uulib-decoder (it did not work well anyway);
- replaced the option <decoder (yenc, uulib, none)> with the option
<decode (yes, no)>;
- added detection of errors <server busy> and <remote server not available>
(special case for NNTPCache-server) to consider them as connect-errors
(and therefore not count as retries);
- added check for incomplete articles (also mostly for NNTPCache-server) to
differ such errors from CrcErrors (better error reporting);
- improved error-reporting on moving of completed files from tmp- to
dst-directory and added code to move files across drives if renaming fails;
- improved handling of nzb-files with multiple collections in par-checker;
- improved the parchecker: added the detection and processing of files
splitted after parring;
- added the queueing of post-process-scripts and waiting for script's
completion before starting of a next job in postprocessor (par-job or
script) to provide more balanced cpu utilization;
- added the redirecting of post-process-script's output to log; new option
<PostLogKind> to specify the default message-kind for unformatted
log-messages;
- added the returning of script-output by command <postqueue> via XML-RPC
and JSON-RPC; the script-output is also showed in web-interface;
- added the saving and restoring of the post-processor-queue (if server was
stopped before all items were processed); new option <ReloadPostQueue>;

- added option <DiskSpace> to automatically pause the download on low disk
space;
- fixed few incompatibility-issues with unslung-platform on nslu2 (ARM);
- fixed: articles with trailing text after binary data caused the decode
failures and the reporting of CRC-errors;
- fixed: dupecheck could cause seg.faults when all articles for a file failed;
- fixed: by dupe-checking of files contained in nzb-file the files with the
same size were ignored (not deleted from queue);
- updated libpar2-patch for msvc to fix a segfault in libpar2 (windows only);
- fixed: by registering the service on windows the fullpath to nzbget.exe
was not always added to service's exename, making the registered service
unusable;
- fixed: the pausing of a group could cause the start of post-processing for
that group;
- fixed: too many info-messages <Need more N blocks> could be printed during
par-check (appeared on posix only);
nzbget-0.3.1:
- Greatly reduced the memory consumption by keeping articles' info on disk
until the file download starts;
- Implemented decode-on-the-fly-technique to reduce disk-io; downloaded
and decoded data can also be saved directly to the destination file
(without any intermediate files at all); this eliminates the necessity
of joining of articles later (option "DirectWrite");
- Improved communication with news-servers: connections are now keeped open
until all files are downloaded (or server paused); this eliminates the
need for establishing of connections and authorizations for each
article and improves overal download speed;
- Significantly better download speed is now possible on fast connection;
it was limited by delays on starting of new articles' downloads;
the synchronisation mechanism was reworked to fix this issue;
- Download speed meter is much more accurate, especially on fast connections;
this also means better speed throttling;
- Speed optimisations in internal decoder (up to 25% faster);
- CRC-calculation can be bypassed to increase performance on slow CPUs
(option "CrcCheck");
- Improved parsing of artcile's subject for better extracting of filename
part from it and implemented a fallback-option if the parsing was incorrect;
- Improved dupe check for files from the same nzb-request to detect reposted
files and download only the best from them (if option "DupeCheck" is on);
- Articles with incorrect CRC can be treated as "possibly recoverable errors"
and relaunched for download (option "RetryOnCrcError"), it is useful if
multiple servers are available;
- Improved error-check for downloaded articles (crc-check and check for
received message-id) decreases the number of broken files;
- Extensions in curses-outputmode: added group-view-mode (key "G") to show
items in download queue as groups, where one group represents all files
from the same nzb-file; the editing of queue works also in group-mode
(for all files in this group): pause/unpause/delete/move of groups;
- Other extensions in curses-outputmode: key "T" toggles timestamps in log;
added output of statistical data: uptime, download-time, average session
download speed;
- Edit-command accepts more than one ID or range of IDs.
E.g: "nzbget -E P 2,6-10,33-39"; The switch "-I" is not used anymore;
- Move-actions in Edit-command affect files in a smart order to guarantee
that the relative order of files in queue is not changed after the moving;
- Extended syntax of edit-command to edit groups (pause/unpause/delete/move
of groups). E.g: "nzbget -E G P 2";
- Added option "DaemonUserName" to set the user that the daemon (POSIX only)
normally runs at. This allows nzbget daemon to be launched in rc.local
(at boot), and download items as a specific user id; Thanks to Thierry
MERLE <merlum@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch;
- Added option "UMask" to specify permissions for newly created files and dirs
(POSIX only);
- Communication protocol used between server and client was revised to define
the byte order for transferred data. This allows hosts with different
endianness to communicate with each other;
- Added options "CursesNzbName", "CursesGroup" and "CursesTime" to define
initial state of curses-outputmode;
- Added option "UpdateInterval" to adjust update interval for Frontend-output
(useful in remote-mode to reduce network usage);
- Added option "WriteBufferSize" to reduce disk-io (but it could slightly
increase memory usage and therefore disabled by default);
- List-command prints additional statistical info: uptime, download-time,
total amount of downloaded data and average session download speed;
- The creation of necessary directories on program's start was extended
with automatic creation of all parent directories or error reporting
if it was not possible;
- Printed messages are now translated to oem-codepage to correctly print
filenames with non-english characters (windows only);
- Added remote-command "-V (--serverversion)" to print the server's version;
- Added option "ThreadLimit" to prevent program from crash if it wants to
create too many threads (sometimes could occur in special cases);
- Added options "NzbDirInterval" and "NzbDirFileAge" to adjust interval and
delay by monitoring of incoming-directory for new nzb-files;
- Fixed error on parsing of nzb-files containing percent and other special
characters in their names (bug appeared on windows only);
- Reformated sample configuration file and changed default optionnames
from lowercase to MixedCase for better readability;
- Few bugs (seg faults) were fixed.
nzbget-0.3.0:
- The download queue now contains newsgroup-files to be downloaded instead of
nzb-jobs. By adding a new job, the nzb-file is immediately parsed and each
newsgroup-file is added to download queue. Each file can therefore be
managed separately (paused, deleted or moved);
- Current queue state is saved after every change (file is completed or the
queue is changed - entries paused, deleted or moved). The state is saved on
disk using internal format, which allows fast loading on next program start
(no need to parse xml-files again);
- The remaining download-size is updated after every article is completed to
indicate the correct remaining size and time for total files in queue;
- Downloaded articles, which are saved in temp-directory, can be reused on
next program start, if the file was not completed (option "continuepartial"
in config-file);
- Along with uulib the program has internal decoder for yEnc-format. This
decoder was necessary, because uulib is so slow, that it prevents using of
the program on not so powerful systems like linux-routers (MIPSEL CPU 200
MHz). The new decoder is very fast. It is controlled over option "decoder"
in config-file;
- The decoder can be completely disabled. In this case all downloaded articles
are saved in unaltered form and can be joined with an external program;
UUDeview is one of them;
- If download of article fails, the program attempts to download it again so
many times, what the option "retries" in config-file says. This works even
if no servers with level higher than "0" defined. After each retry the next
server-level is used, if there are no more levels, the program switches to
level "0" again. The pause between retries can be set with config-option
"retryinterval";
- If despite of a stated connection-timeout (it can be changed via
config-option "connectiontimeout") connection hangs, the program tries to
cancel the connection (after "terminatetimeout" seconds). If it doesn't
work the download thread is killed and the article will be redownloaded in
a new thread. This ensures, that there are no long-time hanging connections
and all articles are downloaded, when a time to rejoin file comes;
- Automatic par-checking and repairing. Only reuired par-files are downloaded.
The program uses libpar2 and does not require any external tools. The big
advantage of library is, that it allows to continue par-check after new
par-blocks were downloaded. This were not possible with external
par2cmdline-tool;
- There is a daemon-mode now (command-line switch "-D" (--daemon)). In this
mode a lock-file (default location "/tmp/nzbget.lock", can be changed via
option "lockfile") contains PID of daemon;
- The format of configuration-file was changed from xml to more common
text-format. It allows also using of variables like
"tempdir=${MAINDIR}/tmp";
- Any option of config-file can be overwritten via command-line switch
"-o" (--option). This includes also the definition of servers.
This means that the program can now be started without a configuration-file
at all (all required options must be passed via command-line);
- The command-line switches were revised. The dedicated switches to change
options in config-file were eliminated, since any option can now be changed
via switch "-o" (--option);
- If the name of configuration-file was not passed via command-line the
program search it in following locations: "~/.nzbget", "/etc/nzbget.conf",
"/usr/etc/nzbget.conf", "/usr/local/etc/nzbget.conf",
"/opt/etc/nzbget.conf";
- The new command-line switch "-n" (--noconfigfile) prevents the loading of
a config-file. All required config-options must be passed via command-line
(switch "-o" (--option));
- To start the program in server mode either "-s" (--server) or
"-D" (--daemon) switch must be used. If the program started without any
parameters it prints help-screen. There is no a dedicated switch to start
in a standalone mode. If switches "-s" and "-D" are omitted and none of
client-request-switches used the standalone mode is default. This usage
of switches is more common to programs like "wget". To add a file to
server's download queue use switch "-A" (--append) and a name of nzb-file
as last command-line parameter;
- There is a new switch "-Q" (--quit) to gracefully stop server. BTW the
SIGKIL-signal is now handled appropriately, so "killall nzbget" is also OK,
where "killall -9 nzbget" terminates server immediately (helpful if it
hangs, but it shouldn't);
- With new switch "-T" (--top) the file will be added to the top of download
queue. Use it with switch "-A" (--append);
- The download queue can be edited via switch "-E" (--edit). It is possible
to pause, unpause, delete and move files in queue. The IDs of file(s)
to be affected are passed via switch "-I" (fileid), either one ID or a
range in a form "IDForm-IDTo". This also means, that every file in queue
have ID now;
- The switch "-L" (--list) prints IDs of files consequently. It prints also
name, size, percentage of completing and state (paused or not) of each file.
Plus summary info: number of files, total remaining size and size of
paused files, server state (paused or running), number of threads on
server, current speed limit;
- With new switch "-G" (--log) the last N lines printed to server's
screen-log, can be printed on client. The max number of lines which can
be returned from servers depends on option "logbuffersize";
- The redesigned Frontends (known as outputmodes "loggable", "colored" and
"curses") can connect to (remote) server and behave as if you were running
server-instance of program itself (command-line switch "-C" (--connect)).
The log-output updates constantly and even all control-functions in
ncurses-mode works: pause/unpause server, set download rate limit, edit of
queue (pause/unpause, delete, move entries). The number of connected
clients is not limited. The "outputmode" on a client can be set
independently from server. The client-mode is especially useful if the
server runs as a daemon;
- The writing to log-file can be disabled via option "createlog".
The location of log-file controls the option "log-file";
- Switch "-p" (--printconfig) prints the name of configuration file being
used and all option/value-pairs, taking into account all used
"-o" (--option) - switches;
- The communication protocol between server and client was optimized to
minimize the size of transferred data. Instead of fixing the size for
Filenames in data-structures to 512 bytes only in fact used data
are transferred;
- Extensions in ncurses-outputmode: scrolling in queue-list works better,
navigation in queue with keys Up, Down, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End.
Keys to move entries are "U" (move up), "N" (move down), "T" (move to top),
"B" (move to bottom). "P" to pause/unpause file. The size, percentage
of completing and state (paused or not) for every file is printed.
The header of queue shows number of total files, number of unpaused
files and size for all and unpaused files. Better using of screen estate
space - no more empty lines and separate header for status (total seven
lines gain). The messages are printed on several lines (if they not fill
in one line) without trimming now;
- configure.ac-file updated to work with recent versions of autoconf/automake.
There are new configure-options now: "--disable-uulib" to compile the
program without uulib; "--disable-ncurses" to disable ncurses-support
(eliminates necessity of ncurses-libs), useful on embedded systems with
little resources; "--disable-parcheck" to compile without par-check;
- The algorithm for parsing of nzb-files now uses XMLReader instead of
DOM-Parser to minimize memory usage (no mor needs to build complete DOM-tree
in memory). Thanks to Thierry MERLE <merlum@users.sourceforge.net> for
the patch;
- The log-file contains now thread-ID for all entry-types and additionally
for debug-entries: filename, line number and function's name of source
code, where the message was printed. Debug-messages can be disabled in
config-file (option "debugtarget") like other messages;
- The program is now compatible with windows. Project file for MS Visual
C++ 2005 is included. Use "nzbget -install" and "nzbget -remove" to
install/remove nzbget-Service. Servers and clients can run on diferrent
operating systems;
- Improved compatibility with POSIX systems; Tested on:
- Linux Debian 3.1 on x86;
- Linux BusyBox with uClibc on MIPSEL;
- PC-BSD 1.4 (based on FreeBSD 6.2) on x86;
- Solaris 10 on x86;
- Many memory-leaks and thread issues were fixed;
- The program was thoroughly worked over. Almost every line of code was
revised.
