Release Notes 0.3.1

Changes compared to 0.3.0
Improved Plush interface
Improved Smpl interface
Directory creation error when download-dir already exists, making PAR2 crash
When run-as-win32-service, stop termination by logoffs
Fix recent incompatibility with newzbin’s RSS feeds
Directory scanner (blackhole) now:
Skips ZIP files that don’t contain only NZB-files
Handles .nzb.gz files
Handles .nzb files that are really nzb.gz files (due to browser mis-configuration)
Newzbin category option does not show “sub-cat” anymore (v3.newzbin.com does not have it)
Auto-shutdown now waits for jobs re-entering the queue for additional par2 files
Do not remove RSS definitions when using –clean option.
Vista compatible icon

Show last 10 warnings/errors on the Connections page
Solved the visible “black” window problem
Sometimes SABnzbd’s a black console window remained visible
Now there are two versions of SABnzbd:
SABnzbd.exe = always invisible
SABnzbd-console.exe = always visible
Limit size of newzbin report titles
Logging size now accepts KMGTP notation

Known issues

Sometimes some delay before first download starts.
Memory usage can sometimes have high peaks. This makes using SABnzbd on very low
memory systems (eg a SAN device) a challenge.
The Plush interface is a heavy load on the browser when the queue is very large.
The Plush and SMPL user interfaces may have some issues when used on IE6 or IE7.
This is mainly due to the fact that Microsoft keeps ignoring HTML standards.
Also IE6 en IE7 are very much incompatible.
FireFox 2 is the best browser to use for interfaces other than Default.
Sometimes logging stops. This is a notorious bug in Python logging. SABnzbd will
function as normal. If you run from sources or use the --console option with the
Win32-binary, you will see that logging continues in the console window, but
nothing will be written to the log-files.
