- reworked the full source code base to utilize modern C++ features (#88):
- with the main motivation to make the code nicer and more fun to work with, this ensures further development of the program;
- to compile NZBGet from source a compiler supporting C++14 is required, see Prerequisites for C++ compiler;
- most users don't have to compile on their own and can use official installers offered on download page;
- for a detailed list of internal changes see milestone Modern C++;
- now offering an official installer for FreeBSD (#124):
- automatic installation;
- built-in update via web-interface;
- currently supporting only x86_64 CPU architecture;
- full support for Unicode and extra long file paths (more than 260 characters) on Windows (#136, #127, #91);
- added support for tvdbid and tvmazeid in rss feeds (#132);
- added button to save nzb-log into a file directly from web-ui (#108);

- built-in web-server can now use certificate chain files through option “SecureCert”, when compiled using OpenSSL (#110);
- allowing character “=“ in dupe-badges (#97);

This release includes an incredible amount of code changes (#88) and is therefore recommended only for experienced NZBGet users. It's also recommended to make a backup of queue directory (option **QueueDir**) before updating.
This release provides backward compatibility with older queue disk state format. A downgrade to v16.4 is possible.
