Download NewsMan Pro 2.2.0.4

NewsMan Pro has just been updated to version 2.2.0.4. With this program, news items can be read on Usenet and files can be downloaded. Some of the most notable features include support for multiple news servers, up to six simultaneous download connections, and the ability to set data limits per day, week, or month. The program is also free to use, but there are some restrictions. For example, the bandwidth used cannot be adjusted, there are a maximum of only two connections and the global header and body search do not work. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

New in this release:

• Fixed checked status of the Queue context menu item for showing/hiding the Message-ID column.
• Added Scheduled Tasks to the Export/Import process.
• Added Automation Rules to the Export/Import process.
• Added some Workgroup settings that weren’t getting read during the Import process.
• Changed the way messages are deleted from the message list when using Microsoft SQL Server to double performance.
• Changed the way messages are deleted when using the Workgroup or Navigator “Delete All Messages” option when using Microsoft SQL Server. This is now the fastest way to empty a Workgroup or Newsgroup. Any message that is NOT Queued, marked Keep, or moved to a subfolder will be moved to the Trash folder in one update query.
• Added “Mark Read” as an action option for Automation Rules.
• Fixed insert/update queries when creating or editing an Automation Rule and the Subject or Author contains characters that cause Microsoft SQL Server to reject the query.
• Fixed a bug in the message composition window that caused a crash when selecting an alternate server to post through while using Microsoft SQL Server.
• Fixed status message in the Queue view when server failed to return the requested article on a single-part message.
• Added Workgroup cross-post checking to prevent messages being split across Workgroups.
• New Workgroup setting: “Reject headers if posted to more than NN groups”. If this is set to “1” or more, then headers that are cross-posted to more than the specified number of newsgroups will be rejected. Set to “0” for no cross-post filtering.
• Fixed a bug in the Purge Messages task editor that did not save the purge type properly.
• Fixed a bug when filtering newsgroups in the cross-post selector of the message composition window. This bug only affected Microsoft SQL Server users.
• Fixed background coloring for some unexpected color combinations.
• Added the current Message-ID being processed to relevant error messages generated by the Thread Manager.
• Added new command-line parameter: -nomutexwarning Add this parameter to turn off concurrent instance warnings on startup.
• Fixed “Zoom on double-click” in the message list after minimizing the message viewer.
• Modified options on the Connections view Settings menu: 1) Oldest connection at Bottom (default), 2) Oldest connection at Top, 3) Do Not Cycle Connections
• Added the ability to filter on Message IDs.
• Fixed a bug on the “Delete With Filter” Scheduled Task that caused the task to find no messages because the query didn’t account for the possibility of a NULL value in the search criteria.
• Set default Workgroup to current Workgroup when using the “Create Automation Rule” feature from the message list.
• Modified descript.ion file extra data to use user-definable formatting.
• Added a new setting to specify a global path to use for a single description.ion file.
• Text-only messages will now be Auto-Saved as a text file when a) downloaded with Auto-Save enabled, b) added to the Queue using the Queue Wizard or the Quick Queue option and c) the option “Auto-Save Text Messages ” is enabled on either of those two queuing methods. The name of the text file will be derived from the subject text.
• Fixed attachments icons when sorting on a column other than “Subject” or “Thread”.
• Revamped Quick Filter tool window for easier access to various options.
• Added a Quick Filter to the Queue toolbar.
• Fixed updating Queue view when the current Server/Group changes.
• Added a new setting to allow headers to be scanned everytime an Automation Rule runs.
