nzbget 15.0-testing-r1196

Changes since 15.0-r1194
  • fixed: program could crash during download - reverted r1193 (which changed the way when unused connections are closed), until the issue is fixed;
  • fixed compilation error on certain systems (added missing include-directive).
Changes since 15.0-r1177
  • added support for password list file:
    • new option "UnpackPassFile" to set the location of the file;
    • during unpack the passwords are tried from the file until unpack succeeds or all passwords were tried;
    • implemented different strategies for rar4 and rar5-archives taking into account the features of formats;
    • for rar5-archives a wrong password is reported by unrar unambiguously and the program can immediately try other passwords from the password list;
    • for rar4-archives and for 7z-archives it is not possible to differentiate between damaged archive and wrong password; for those archives if the first unpack attempt (without password) fails the program executes par-check (preferably quick par-check if enabled via option "ParQuick) before trying the passwords from the list;
    • another optimization is that the password list is tried only when the first unpack attempt (without password) reports a password error or decryption errors; this saves unnecessary unpack attempts for damaged unencrypted archives;
    • for more info see topic [New Feature] Password list file;
  • options "UnrarCmd" and "SevenZipCmd" can include extra switches to pass to unrar/7-zip.
  • improved news server connections handling:
    • if a download of an article fails due to connection error the news server becomes temporary disabled (blocked) for several seconds (defined by option "RetryInterval");
    • the download is then retried on another news server (of the same level) if available;
    • if no other news servers (of the same level) exist the program will retry the same news server after its block interval expires;
    • this increases failure tolerance when multiple news servers are used;
    • for more info see topic [New Feature] Fail-safe connection handling;
  • options "ParIgnoreExt" and "ExtCleanupDisk" can now contain wildcard characters * and ?;
  • added new option "ServerX.Retention" to define server retention time (days); files older than configured server retention time are not even tried on this server;
  • added support for negative numeric values in rss filter (useful for fields "dupescore" and "priority");
  • added subcommand "HA" to remote command "--list/-L" to list the whole history including hidden records;
  • added optional parameters to remote command "--append/-A" allowing to pass duplicate key, duplicate mode and duplicate score; removed parameters "F" and "U" of command "--append/-A", which were used to set mode (file or URL), which is now detected automatically; the parameters are still supported for compatibility;
  • added confirmation dialogs to recently implemented mass history edit commands "mark as good" and "mark as bad";
  • name and category of history items can now be changed in web-interface; RPC-API method "editqueue" extended with new actions "HistorySetName" and "HistorySetCategory";
  • when launching web-browser from the tray icon now using the real IP-address from option "ControlIP" instead of hard coded "127.0.0.1" (Windows only);
  • fixed: command "download again" was not disabled for hidden history records and resulted in a crash;
  • updated info in about dialogs (Windows and Mac OSX);
  • fixed possible crash when using remote command "-B dump" to print debug info.
Other changes since 14.1
  • improved application for Windows:
    • added tray icon (near clock);
    • left click on icon pauses/resumes download;
    • right lick opens menu with important functions;
    • console window can be shown/hidden via preferences (is hidden by default);
    • new preference to automatically start the program after login;
    • new preference to show browser on start;
    • new preference to hide tray icon;
    • menu commands to show important folders in windows explorer (destination, etc.);
    • on first start the config file is now placed into subdirectory "NZBGet" inside standard AppData-directory;
    • default destination and other directories are now placed in the AppData\NZBGet-directory instead of programs directory; this allows to install the program into "program files"-directory since the program does not write into the programs directory anymore;
    • the program exe has an icon now;
    • if the exe is started from windows explorer the program starts in application mode; if the exe is called from command prompt the program works in console mode;
  • created installer for windows:
    • the program is installed into "program files" by default;
    • the working directory with all subdirectories is now placed into "AppData" directory;
    • the batch files nzbget-start.bat and nzbget-recovery-mode.bat are not needed and not installed anymore;
  • actions for history items can now be performed for multiple (selected) records:
    • post-process again, download again, mark as good, mark as bad;
    • extended RPC-API method "editqueue": for history-records of type "URL" the action "HistoryRedownload" can now be used as synonym to "HistoryReturn" (makes it easier to redownload multiple items of different types (URL and NZB) with one API call).
