Download Grabit 1.4.1 Beta

mno writes in a news submitter that Grabit is equipped with new features, bug fixes and version number. Grabit is, for those who don’t know, a newsreader that can conveniently store binaries from newsgroups.

• yEnc support
• New faster group handling routines. The only old code still in there is the ‘processing headers’ routine which is still very slow and uses way too much memory;
• Better binary recognition routine. Less incomplete binaries with descriptions like (1-17,17- 21 of 21) should appear;
• Added a cache cleanup routine which will remove all cache files older then X days;
• The file system will now be checked for free disk space while downloading. When there is not enough free disk space left on the file system GrabIt will automatically pause the batch and notify the user.
• Changed the function of the cache folder. It now contains separate folders for groups, articles and temporary files;
• The group list can now be sorted by article count;
• Articles view can now use font colors and styles to reflect item status;
• New items will now show up in the articles view with a + sign in the status column;
• Statistics show more stable values;
• Sorting is now case insensitive;
• A new Grab button with all possible grab options;
• Grab to folder option;
• It is now possible to select between single-click or double-click to restore GrabIt from the tray;
• The ‘Save batch’ routine didn’t work in some situations. This should be fixed now;
• Downloaded articles without binaries are now saved with the article subject as the filename instead of the article number;
• New preferences window;
• Files created by GrabIt will only contain characters in the following list: “0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ !@#$%^&()_+- =” ;,.~`”. When the decode process detects any other character in the filename, it will remove the character;
• New cache file format. This means that old cache files won’t work anymore!
• Some small bug fixes and cosmetic changes.
