Current status of nzbget
Posted: 10 May 2005, 09:06
Hi people,
Just wanted to give an update.
Although the meassurable activity here on the project page has been low in the last month(s) I have been working on adding new content to the project for the last 2 months - most notably the ability to handle disconnects/hanging download threads from the server and an extended interface/functionality between client and server.
Not long ago, however, I have come to the realization that somewhere along the way a big chunk of instability has found it's way into the code. Attempts at figuring out when and where this instability has been introduced has proven futile - I have tried, but reproducing the instability at some times means waiting for a long time which makes debugging a pain beyond words.
Hence, the current plan is the following:
* I'm gonna revert back to nzbget-0.2.0 and try and apply some of the fixes (stability/memleaks/etc) I have encountered during the last months time. When I am satisfied that the code is "stable" I'm gonna release a new version
* From there on I will gradually merge the current extended functionality and monitor the stability/instability. When all the current extended functionality has been merged I will once again release a new version.
