New in Megatools 1.9.92 (Aug 26, 2014)

- reduces command failures by a lot, and you'll not see 500 Server Is Busy
- errors anymore.

- packages for 32bit and 64bit windows platform, and all dlls were updated to
- their latest versions.
- Other news:
- Added 64bit windows package
- Unmask Megatools to Mega.co.nz (user Megatools/VERSION User-Agent)
- Check for a2x if --enable-docs-build=yes
- Megadl now reports file download errors
- Add megadl --print-names option
- Fix megasync error (issue #45 on github)
- Fix megadl used with pipe (--path -) on windows (issue #38)
- Installation instructions for Mac
- Add info about Gentoo ebuild to the README file (issue #26)
- Fix Megatools thumbnails for PDF (issue #5)
- Do repeated API calls after 500 Server Is Busy and increase retry delay
- Fix issue to download a file with accent with megaget (issue #22)
