Download Sick Beard build 497 alpha

A new build of Sick Beard has been released. This program can keep an eye on when new episodes of your favorite TV series are available and if there are better quality episodes available. In addition, it can bring some uniformity in the naming, and it is possible to download episodes from usenet and to a lesser extent via BitTorrent. The program is written in Python and can therefore be used on various operating systems. Development is at an early stage and the program is still offered as alpha. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Changelog for build 497:

• Rewrite of the renaming ability of sickbeard so that it is much more flexible. pull #425
• SB API bumped to v3. pull #415
  changed the SB API number scheme from a decimal to a whole number to eliminate the IEEE floating point issue that plagues python 2.5. (0.2 -> 3) Several commands updated to reflect custom_naming related changes. Such as season_folder is now flatten_folders with the logic inverse. Also some additional fields were added to the episode command. episode.setstatus was modified to allow requesting a whole season besides just an episode along with being able to replace or skip existing downloaded files.
• Prune and cleanup of SickBeard’s CSS/HTML/JS. pull #431
  • Created new favicon and apple-touch-icon to cover iOS and Android devices (fallback).
  • Changed the notifier icons from 16×16 to ?x24 variants. Created all notifier images from official logos or higher quality sources, trimmed extra whitespace and used png.
