New in SABnzbd Portable 2.0.0 (Apr 20, 2017)

  • New in 2.0.0: SABYenc
  • To improve SABnzbd's performance on systems where CPU power is limiting download speed, we developed a new C-module called SABYenc to accelerate the decoding of usenet articles that can use multiple threads and is more efficient. Not only low-powered systems like NAS's or Raspberry Pi's benefit, with this new module speeds can increase up to 2x compared to 1.x.x releases on any system where the connection/newsserver capacity was not fully used. The Windows and macOS releases automatically include this module.
  • Changes/improvements in 2.0.0:
  • Windows and macOS releases now also come in 64bit versions. The installers will install the appropriate version automatically. Therefore, on 64bit Windows the installation directory will change to 'Program Files' instead of 'Program Files (x86)'.
  • On Windows our tests showed an additional 5-10% gain in download speed when using 64bit SABnzbd on 64bit Windows.
  • Multicore Par2 is now easily available through the PPA and other channels
  • Post-processing scripts now get additional job information via SAB environment variables.
  • Certificate Validation set to 'Strict' for newly added newsservers
  • The insecure Certificate Verification level 'Default' is now called 'Minimal'. In case of problems, see: https://sabnzbd.org/certificate-errors
  • Removed Secondary Web Interface option.
  • Smaller changes/improvements in 2.0.0:
  • Schedule items can now be enabled and disabled
  • HTTP-redirects in interface are now relative URL's
  • Moved some lesser used settings to Config->Specials
  • Cache usage is now updated continuously in the Status Window
  • Previously set password is now shown on Retry
  • Remove listquote module dependency
  • Warn if Complete folder is on FAT filesystem (4GB size limit)
  • Bug fixes in 2.0.0:
  • Malformed articles could break the Downloader
  • Unexpected characters in CRC part of an article could crash the Decoder
  • Retry ADMIN-data saving 3x before giving error
  • Checking for encryption during downloading could fail
  • QuickCheck could crash when renaming already renamed files
  • skip_dashboard set to 1 by default in fullstatus API-call
  • Top-only switch now really only downloads top job
