Changes in NewsLeecher 7.0 Beta 7

• This version of NewsLeecher uses an improved file cache format, so it is recommended to backup NewsLeecher settings / data before installing, in case a downgrade to an earlier release of NewsLeecher is wanted later on. NewsLeecher will automatically upgrade existing cache files to the new format when loading groups, download queue, etc.
• Full Unicode support. Articles containing UTF-8 encoded subjects / poster names are now correctly displayed in NewsLeecher. This mostly affect articles originating from Asian countries. (If parts of NewsLeecher are still found to be non-compliant with Unicode, please let us know)
• Selected files in the download queue, can now be moved up / down of the queue, using the keyboard shortcuts Alt+Up and Alt+Down.
• Selected files in the download queue, can now be moved to top / bottom of the queue, using the keyboard shortcuts Alt+Shift+Up and Alt+Shift+Down.
• The ‘expanded’ states for sets in the Repair & Extract listview are now saved between sessions.
• An increasing number of article subjects exceed the previously set maximum length in NewsLeecher of 250 bytes. Mostly due to Unicode encoding. The maximum length has been bumped and is now much higher.
• The download queue (together with other NewsLeecher settings) is now automatically backed up once every 15 minutes.
• Many smaller improvements (listview hints are not cut-off anymore, speed optimized drawing routines, up-to-date SSL libraries, etc.)
• Further improved the performance of the NewsLeecher download queue loading and saving code.
• Fixed bug that sometimes triggered an exception when adding lots of PAR2 files to the Repair & Extract listview as the same time.
• Fixed bug where NewsLeecher would trigger a bug when updating groups, if two unassociated articles shared the same CRC value.
• Many smaller bug fixes (“Explorer” listview font bug fixed, etc.)
