fieldmouse points us to a new release of GrabIt. This time it concerns build 885 of beta version 1.5.0, which is available via this link can be downloaded as a setup file. Version 1.5.0 build 885 has its roots in last month’s public experimental build, according to Ilan Shemes on his forum† GrabIt is able to pull down binaries and text files from newsgroups. Files that are split into several small files are automatically merged into the original file. The changes that have been made can be read below:

New cache format to incorporate Message-IDs (Note: Cache files are NOT compatible with previous releases!);

Tightened the filename filter a bit to solve some illegal file/foldername issues;

Improved error feedback in Read article form;

New date format conversion routine can also convert dates with short year notation (eg. 03 for 2003);

Solved the exception errors that some people reported while closing GrabIt;

Batch Import button in Batch screen allows the import of NZB files directly into the batch;

Batch Import button in Batch screen allows the import of BNS (binnews.com) files directly into the batch;

Auto shutdown feature now waits until all items are decoded / processed before shutting down the system;

Tweaked the compression of the cache file to optimize for speed instead of size;

New ‘Download Folder’ button in the batch tab will open your download folder;

Some general optimizations;

Changed the main font of the controls in the application to Arial;

Added the possibility to change the font of the views (Groups, Articles, Batch, All Groups);

Added “Grab to folder first” and “Grab with prefix first”;

Added a new option in the batch popup menu to download a batch item from a different server;

Incomplete items are now saved with .(Incomplete Grab). in the filename. Peter B. Clements added support for this into Quickpar 0.9 so these files will be recognized;

GrabIt Search makes it possible to search Usenet without downloading headers or using XPAT;

The connection to a server is no longer closed after a minor error (eg. article not on server).
