  - please see subversion log at
    http://sourceforge.net/p/nzbget/code/log

nzbget-12.0:
  - added RSS feeds support:
        - new options "FeedX.Name", "FeedX.URL", "FeedX.Filter",
          "FeedX.Interval", "FeedX.PauseNzb", "FeedX.Category",
          "FeedX.Priority" (section "Rss Feeds");
        - new option "FeedHistory" (section "Download Queue");
        - button "Preview Feed" on settings tab near each feed definition;
        - new toolbar button "Feeds" on downloads tab with menu to
          view feeds or fetch new nzbs from all feeds (the button is
          visible only if there are feeds defined in settings);
        - new dialog to see feed content showing status of each item (new,
          fetched, backlog) with ability to manually fetch selected items;
        - powerful filters for RSS feeds;
        - new dialog to build filters in web-interface with instant preview;
  - added download health monitoring:
        - health indicates download status, whether the file is damaged
          and how much;
        - 100% health means no download errors occurred; 0% means all
          articles failed;
        - there is also a critical health which is calculated for each
          nzb-file based on number and size of par-files;
        - if during download the health goes down below 100% a health
          badge appears near download name indicating the necessity of
          par-repair; the indicator can be orange (repair may be possible)
          or red (unrepairable) if the health goes down below critical health;
        - new option "HealthCheck" to define what to do with unhealthy
          (unrepairable) downloads (pause, delete, none);
        - health and critical health are displayed in download-edit dialog;
          health is displayed in history dialog; if download was aborted
          (HealthCheck=delete) this is indicated in history dialog;
        - health allows to determine download status for downloads which
          have unpack and/or par-check disabled; for such downloads the
          status in history is shown based on health: success (health=100%),
          damaged (health > critical) or failure (health < critical);
        - par-check is now automatically started for downloads having
          health below 100%; this works independently of unpack (even if
          unpack is disabled);
        - for downloads having health less than critical health no par-check
          is performed (it would fail); Instead the par-check status is
          set to "failure" automatically saving time of actual par-check;
        - new fields "Health" and "CriticalHealth" are returned by
          RPC-Method "listgroups";
        - new fields "Health", "CriticalHealth", "Deleted" and "HealthDeleted"
          are returned by RPC-Method "history";
        - new parameters "NZBPP_HEALTH" and "NZBPP_CRITICALHEALTH" are passed
          to pp-scripts;
  - added collecting of server usage statistical data for each download:
        - number of successful and failed article downloads per news server;
        - new page in history dialog shows collected statistics;
        - new fields in RPC-method "history": ServerStats (array),
          TotalArticles, SuccessArticles, FailedArticles;
        - new env. vars passed to pp-scripts: NZBPP_TOTALARTICLES,
          NZBPP_SUCCESSARTICLES, NZBPP_FAILEDARTICLES and per used news
          server: NZBPP_SERVERX_SUCCESSARTICLES, NZBPP_SERVERX_FAILEDARTICLES;
        - also new env.var HEALTHDELETED;
  - added smart duplicates feature:
        - mostly for use with RSS feeds;
        - automatic detection of duplicate nzb-files to avoid download of
          duplicates;
        - nzb-files can be also manually marked as duplicates;
        - if download fails - automatically choose another release (duplicate);
        - if download succeeds all remaining duplicates are skipped (not downloaded);
        - download items have new properties to tune duplicate handling
          behavior: duplicate key, duplicate score and duplicate mode;
        - if download was deleted by duplicate check its status in the
          history is shown as "DUPE";
        - new actions "GroupSetDupeKey", "GroupSetDupeScore", "GroupSetDupeMode",
          "HistorySetDupeKey", "HistorySetDupeScore", "HistorySetDupeMode",
          "HistoryMarkBad" and "HistoryMarkGood" of RPC-command "editqueue";
          new actions "B" and "G" of command "--edit/-E" for history items
          (subcommand "H");
        - when deleting downloads from queue there are three options now:
          "move to history", "move to history as duplicate" and "delete
          without history tracking";
        - new actions "GroupDupeDelete", "GroupFinalDelete" and
          "HistorySetDupeBackup" in RPC-method "editqueue";
        - RPC-commands "listgroups", "postqueue" and "history" now return
          more info about nzb-item (many new fields);
        - removed option "MergeNzb" because it conflicts with duplicate
          handling, items can be merged manually if necessary;
        - automatic detection of exactly same nzb-files (same content)
          coming from different sources (different RSS feeds etc.);
          individual files (inside nzb-file) having extensions listed in
          option "ExtCleanupDisk" are excluded from content comparison
          (unless these are par2-files, which are never excluded);
        - when history item expires (as defined by option "KeepHistory")
          and the duplicate check is active (option "DupeCheck") the item
          is not completely deleted from history; instead the amount of
          stored data reduces to minimum required for duplicate check
          (about 200 bytes vs 2000 bytes for full history item);
        - such old history items are not shown in web-interface by default
          (to avoid transferring of large amount of history items);
        - new button "Hidden" in web-interface to show hidden history items;
          the items are marked with badge "hidden";
        - RPC-method "editqueue" has now two actions to delete history
          records: "HistoryDelete", "HistoryFinal"; action "HistoryDelete"
          which has existed before now hides records, already hidden records
          are ignored; 
        - added functions "Mark as Bad" and "Mark as Good" for history
          items;
        - duplicate properties (dupekey, dupescore and dupemode) can now
          be viewed and changed in download-edit-dialog and
          history-edit-dialog via new button "Dupe";
        - for full documentation see http://nzbget.sourceforge.net/RSS#Duplicates;
  - created NZBGet.app - NZBGet is now a user friendly Mac OSX application
          with easy installation and seamless integration into OS UI:
          works in background, is controlled from a web-browser, few
          important functions are accessible via menubar icon;
  - better Windows package:
        - unrar is included;
        - several options are set to better defaults;
        - all paths are set as relative paths to program directory;
          the program can be started after installation without editing
          anything in config;
        - included two new batch-files:
              - nzbget-start.bat - starts program in normal mode (dos box);
              - nzbget-recovery-mode.bat - starts with empty password (dos box);
              - both batch files open browser window with correct address;
        - config-file template is stored in nzbget.conf.template;
        - nzbget.conf is not included in the package. When the program is
          started for the first time (using one of batch files) the template
          config file is copied into nzbget.conf;
        - updates will be easy in the future: to update the program all
          files from newer archive must be extracted over old files. Since
          the archive doesn't have nzbget.conf, the existing config is kept
          unmodified. The template config file will be updated;
        - added file README-WINDOWS.txt with small instructions;
        - version string now includes revision number (like "r789");
  - added automatic updates:
        - new button "Check for updates" on settings tab of web-interface,
          in section "SYSTEM", initiates check and shows dialog allowing to
          install new version;
        - it is possible to choose between stable, testing and development
          branches;
        - this feature is for end-users using binary packages created and
          updated by maintainers, who need to write an update script specific
          for platform;
        - the script is then called by NZBGet when user clicks on install-button;
        - the script must download and install new version;
        - for more info visit http://nzbget.sourceforge.net/Packaging;
  - news servers can now be temporarily disabled via speed limit dialog
    without reloading of the program:
        - new option "ServerX.Active" to disable servers via settings;
        - new option "ServerX.Name" to use for logging and in UI;
  - changed the way how option "Unpack" works:
        - instead of enabling/disabling the unpacker as a whole, it now
          defines the initial value of post-processing parameter "Unpack"
          for nzb-file when it is added to queue;
        - this makes it now possible to disable Unpack globally but still
          enable it for selected nzb-files;
        - new option "CategoryX.Unpack" to set unpack on a per category basis;
  - combined all footer buttons into one button "Actions" with menu:
        - in download-edit-dialog: "Pause/Resume", "Delete" and "Cancel
          Post-Processing";
        - in history-dialog: "Delete", "Post-Process Again" and "Download
          Remaining Files (Return to Queue)";
  - DirectNZB headers X-DNZB-MoreInfo and X-DNZB-Details are now processed
    when downloading URLs and the links "More Info" and "Details" are shown
    in download-edit-dialog and in history-dialog in Actions menu; 
  - program can now be stopped via web-interface: new button "shutdown"
    in section "SYSTEM";
  - added menu "View" to settings page which allows to switch to "Compact Mode"
    when option descriptions are hidden;
  - added confirmation dialog by leaving settings page if there are unsaved
    changes;
  - downloads manually deleted from queue are shown with status "deleted"
    in the history (instead of "unknown"); 
  - all table columns except "Name" now have fixed widths to avoid annoying
    layout changes especially during post-processing when long status messages
    are displayed in the name-column;
  - added filter buttons to messages tab (info, warning, etc.);
  - added automatic par-renaming of extracted files if archive includes
    par-files;
  - added support for http redirects when fetching URLs;
  - added new command "Download again" for history items; new action
    "HistoryRedownload" of RPC-method "editqueue"; for controlling via command
    line: new action "A" of subcommand "H" of command "--edit/-E";
  - download queue is now saved in a more safe way to avoid potential loss
    of queue if the program crashes during saving of queue;
  - destination directory for option "CategoryX.DestDir" is not checked/created
    on program start anymore (only when a download starts for that category);
    this helps when certain categories are configured for external disks,
    which are not always connected;
  - added new option "CategoryX.Aliases" to configure category name matching
    with nzb-sites; especially useful with rss feeds;
  - in RPC-Method "appendurl" parameter "addtop" adds nzb to the top of
    the main download queue (not only to the top of the URL queue);
  - new logo (thanks to dogzipp for the logo);
  - added support for metatag "password" in nzb-files;
  - pp-scripts which move files can now inform the program about new
    location by printing text "[NZB] FINALDIR=/path/to/files"; the final
    path is then shown in history dialog instead of download path;
  - new env-var "NZBPP_FINALDIR" passed to pp-scripts;
  - pp-scripts can now set post-processing parameters by printing
    command "[NZB] NZBPR_varname=value"; this allows scripts which are
    executed sooner to pass data for scripts executed later;
  - added new option "AuthorizedIP" to set the list of IP-addresses which
    may connect without authorization;
  - new option "ParRename" to force par-renaming as a first post-processing
    step (active by default); this saves an unpack attempt and is even more
    useful if unpack is disabled;
  - post-processing progress label is now automatically trimmed if it
    doesn't fill into one line; this avoids layout breaking if the text
    is too long;
  - reversed the order of priorities in comboboxes in dialogs: the highest
    priority - at the top, the lowest - at the bottom;
  - small changes in button captions: edit dialogs called from settings
    page (choose script, choose order, build rss filter) now have buttons
    "Discard/Apply" instead of "Close/Save"; in all other dialogs button
    "Close" renamed to "Cancel" unless it was the only button in dialog;
  - small change in css: slightly reduced the max height of modal dialogs
    to better work on notebooks;
  - options "DeleteCleanupDisk" and "NzbCleanupDisk" are now active by
    default (in the example config file);
  - extended add-dialog with options "Add paused" and "Disable duplicate check";
  - source nzb-files are now deleted when download-item leaves queue and
    history (option "NzbCleanupDisk");
  - when deleting downloads from queue the messages about deleted
    individual files are now printed as "detail" instead of "info";
  - failed article downloads are now logged as "detail" instead of
    "warning" to reduce number of warnings for downloads removed from
    server (DMCA); one warning is printed for a file with a summary of
    number of failed downloads for the file;
  - tuned algorithm calculating maximum threads limit to allow more
    threads for backup server connections (related to option "TreadLimit"
    removed in v11); this may sometimes increase speed when backup servers
    were used;
  - by adding nzb-file to queue via RPC-methods "append" and "appendurl"
    the actual format of the file is checked and if nzb-format is detected
    the file is added even if it does not have .nzb extension;
  - added new option "UrlForce" to allow URL-downloads (including fetching
    of RSS feeds and nzb-files from feeds) even if download is paused;
    the option is active by default;
  - destination directory for option "DestDir" is not checked/created on
    program start anymore (only when a download starts); this helps when
    DestDir is mounted to a network drive which is not available on program start;
  - added special handling for files ".AppleDouble" and ".DS_Store" during
    unpack to avoid problems on NAS having support for AFP protocol (used
    on Mac OSX);
  - history records with failed script status are now shown as "PP-FAILURE"
    in history list (instead of just "FAILURE");
  - option "DiskSpace" now checks space on "InterDir" in addition to
    "DestDir";
  - support for rar-archives with non-standard extensions is now limited
    to file extensions consisting of digits; this is to avoid extracting
    of rar-archives having non-rar extensions on purpose (example: .cbr);
  - if option "ParRename" is disabled (not recommended) unpacker does
    not initiate par-rename anymore, instead the full par-verify is
    performed then;
  - for external script the exec-permissions are now added automatically;
    this makes the installation of pp-scripts and other scripts easier;
  - option "InterDir" is now active by default;
  - when option "InterDir" is used the intermediate destination directory
    names now include unique numbers to avoid several downloads with same
    name to use the same directory and interfere with each other;
  - when option "UnpackCleanupDisk" is active all archive files are now
    deleted from download directory without relying on output printed by
    unrar; this solves issues with non-ascii-characters in archive file
    names on some platforms and especially in combination with rar5;
  - improved handling of non-ascii characters in file names on windows;
  - added support for rar5-format when checking signatures of archives
    with non-standard file extensions;
  - small restructure in settings order:
        - combined sections "REMOTE CONTROL" and "PERMISSIONS" into one
          section with name "SECURITY";
        - moved sections "CATEGORIES" and "RSS FEEDS" higher in the
          section list;
  - improved par-check: if main par2-file is corrupted and can not be
    loaded other par2-files are downloaded and then used as replacement
    for main par2-file;
  - if unpack did not find archive files the par-check is not requested
    anymore if par-rename was already done;
  - better handling of obfuscated nzb-files containing multiple files
    with same names; removed option "StrictParName" which was not working
    good with obfuscated files; if more par-files are required for repair
    the files with strict names are tried first and then other par-files;
  - added new scheduler commands "ActivateServer", "DeactivateServer" and
    "FetchFeed"; combined options "TaskX.DownloadRate" and "TaskX.Process"
    into one option "TaskX.Param", also used by new commands;
  - added status filter buttons to history page;
  - if unpack fails with write error (usually because of not enough space
    on disk) this is shown as status "Unpack: space" in web-interface;
    this unpack-status is handled as "success" by duplicate handling
    (no download of other duplicate); also added new unpack-status "wrong
    password" (only for rar5-archives); env.var. NZBPP_UNPACKSTATUS has
    two new possible values: 3 (write error) and 4 (wrong password);
    updated pp-script "EMail.py" to support new unpack-statuses;
  - fixed a potential seg. fault in a commonly used function;
  - added new option "TimeCorrection" to adjust conversion from system
    time to local time (solves issues with scheduler when using a
    binary compiled for other platform);
  - NZBIDs are now generated with more care avoiding numbering holes
    possible in previous versions;
  - fixed: invalid "Offset" passed to RPC-method "editqueue" or command
    line action "-E/--edit" could crash the program;
  - fixed: crash after downloading of an URL (happen only on certain systems);
  - fixed: restoring of settings didn't work for multi-sections (servers,
    categories, etc.) if they were empty;
  - fixed: choosing local files didn't work in Opera;
  - fixed: certain characters printed by pp-scripts could crash the
    program;
  - fixed: malformed nzb-file could cause a memory leak;
  - fixed: when a duplicate file was detected in collection it was
    automatically deleted (if option DupeCheck is active) but the
    total size of collection was not updated;
  - when deleting individual files the total count of files in collection
    was not updated;
  - fixed: when multiple nzb-files were added via URL (rss including) at
    the same time the info about category and priority could get lost for
    some of files;
  - fixed: if unpack fails the created destination directory was not
    automatically removed (only if option "InterDir" was active);
  - fixed scrolling to the top of page happening by clicking on items in
    downloads/history lists and on action-buttons in edit-download and
    history dialogs;
  - fixed potential buffer overflow in remote client;
  - improved error reporting when creation of temporary output file fails;
  - fixed: when deleting download, if all remaining queued files are
    par2-files the disk cleanup should not be performed, but it was
    sometimes;
  - fixed a potential problem in incorrect using of one library function.

nzbget-11.0:
  - reworked concept of post-processing scripts:
        - multiple scripts can be assigned to each nzb-file;
        - all assigned scripts are executed after the nzb-file is
          downloaded and internally processed (unpack, repair);
        - option <PostProcess> is obsolete;
        - new option <ScriptDir> sets directory where all pp-scripts must
          be stored;
        - new option <DefScript> sets the default list of pp-scripts to
          be assigned to nzb-file when it's added to queue;
        - new option <CategoryX.DefScript> to set the default list of
          pp-scripts on a category basis;
        - the execution order of pp-scripts can be set using new option
          <ScriptOrder>;
        - there are no separate configuration files for pp-scripts;
        - configuration options and pp-parameters are defined in the
          pp-scripts;
        - script configuration options are saved in nzbget configuration
          file (nzbget.conf);
        - changed parameters list of RPC-methods <loadconfig> and
          <saveconfig>;
        - new RPC-method <configtemplates> returns configuration
          descriptions for the program and for all pp-scripts;
        - configuration of all scripts can be done in web-interface;
        - the pp-scripts assigned to a particular nzb-file can be viewed
          and changed in web-interface on page <pp-parameters> in the
          edit download dialog;
        - option <PostPauseQueue> renamed to <ScriptPauseQueue> (the old
          name is still recognized);
        - new option <ConfigTemplate> to define the location of template
          configuration file (in previous versions it must be always
          stored in <WebDir>);
        - history dialog shows status of every script;
  - the old example post-processing script replaced with two new scripts:
        - EMail.py - sends E-Mail notification;
        - Logger.py - saves the full post-processing log of the job into
          file _postprocesslog.txt;
        - both pp-scripts are written in python and work on Windows too
          (in addition to Linux, Mac, etc.);
  - added possibility to set post-processing parameters for history items:
        - pp-parameters can now be viewed and changed in history dialog
          in web-interface;
        - useful before post-processing again;
        - new action <HistorySetParameter> in RPC-method <editqueue>;
        - new action <O> in remote command <--edit/-E> for history items
          (subcommand <H>);
  - added new feature <split download> which creates new download from
    selected files of source download;
        - new command <Split> in web-interface in edit download dialog
          on page <Files>;
        - new action <S> in remote command <--edit/-E>;
        - new action <FileSplit> in JSON-/XML-RPC method <editqueue>;
  - added support for manual par-check:
        - if option <ParCheck> is set to <Manual> and a damaged download
          is detected the program downloads all par2-files but doesn't
          perform par-check; the user must perform par-check/repair
          manually then (possibly on another, faster computer);
        - old values <yes/no> of option <ParCheck> renamed to <Force>
          and <Auto> respectively;
        - when set to <Force> all par2-files are always downloaded;
        - removed option <LoadPars> since its functionality is now
          covered by option <ParCheck>;
        - result of par-check can now have new value <Manual repair
          necessary>;
        - field <ParStatus> in RPC-method <history> can have new value
          <MANUAL>;
        - parameter <NZBPP_PARSTATUS> for pp-script can have new value
          <4 = manual repair necessary>;
  - when download is resumed in web-interface the option <ParCheck=Force>
    is respected and all par2-files are resumed (not only main par2-file);
  - automatic deletion of backup-source files after successful par-repair;
    important when repairing renamed rar-files since this could cause
    failure during unpack;
  - par-checker and renamer now add messages into the log of pp-item
    (like unpack- and pp-scripts-messages); these message now appear in
    the log created by scripts Logger.py and EMail.py;
  - when a nzb-file is added via web-interface or via remote call the
    file is now put into incoming nzb-directory (option "NzbDir") and
    then scanned; this has two advantages over the old behavior when the
    file was parsed directly in memory:
        - the file serves as a backup for troubleshootings;
        - the file is processed by nzbprocess-script (if defined in
          option "NzbProcess") making the pre-processing much easier;
  - new env-var parameters are passed to NzbProcess-script: NZBNP_NZBNAME,
    NZBNP_CATEGORY, NZBNP_PRIORITY, NZBNP_TOP, NZBNP_PAUSED;
  - new commands for use in NzbProcess-scripts: "[NZB] TOP=1" to add nzb
    to the top of queue and "[NZB] PAUSED=1" to add nzb-file in paused state;
  - reworked post-processor queue:
        - only one job is created for each nzb-file; no more separate
          jobs are created for par-collections within one nzb-file;
        - option <AllowReProcess> removed; a post-processing script is
          called only once per nzb-file, this behavior cannot be altered
          anymore;
        - with a new feature <Split> individual par-collections can be
          processed separately in a more effective way than before
  - improved unicode (utf8) support:
        - non-ascii characters are now correctly transferred via JSON-RPC;
        - correct displaying of nzb-names and paths in web-interface;
        - it is now possible to use non-ascii characters on settings page
          for option values (such as paths or category names);
        - improved unicode support in XML-RPC and JSON-RPC;
  - if username and password are defined for a news-server the
    authentication is now forced (in previous versions the authentication
    was performed only if requested by server); needed for servers
    supporting both anonymous (restricted) and authorized (full access)
    accounts;
  - added option <ExtCleanupDisk> to automatically delete unwanted files
    (with specified extensions or names) after successful par-check or unpack;
  - improvement in JSON-/XML-RPC:
        - all ID fields including NZBID are now persistent and remain
          their values after restart;
        - this allows for third-party software to identify nzb-files by
          ID;
        - method <history> now returns ID of NZB-file in the field
          <NZBID>;
        - in versions up to 0.8.0 the field <NZBID> was used to identify
          history items in the edit-commands <HistoryDelete>,
          <HistoryReturn>, <HistoryProcess>; since version 9 field <ID>
          is used for this purpose; in versions 9-10 field <NZBID> still
          existed and had the same value as field <ID> for compatibility
          with version 0.8.0; the compatibility is not provided anymore;
          this change was needed to provide a consistent using of field
          <NZBID> across all RPC-methods;
  - added support for rar-files with non-standard extensions (such as
    .001, etc.);
  - added functions to backup and restore settings from web-interface;
    when restoring it's possible to choose what sections to restore
    (for example only news servers settings or only settings of a
    certain pp-script) or restore the whole configuration;
  - new option "ControlUsername" to define login user name (if you don't
    like default username "nzbget");
  - if a communication error occurs in web-interface, it retries multiple
    times before giving up with an error message;
  - the maximum number of download threads are now managed automatically
    taking into account the number of allowed connections to news servers;
    removed option <ThreadLimit>;
  - pp-scripts terminated with unknown status are now considered failed
    (status=FAILURE instead of status=UNKNOWN);
  - new parameter (env. var) <NZBPP_NZBID> is passed to pp_scripts and
    contains an internal ID of NZB-file;
  - improved thread synchronisation to avoid (short-time) lockings of
    the program during creation of destination files;
  - more detailed error message if a directory could not be created
    (<DstDir>, <NzbDir>, etc.); the message includes error text reported
    by OS such as <permission denied> or similar;
  - when unpacking the unpack start time is now measured after receiving
    of unrar copyright message; this provides better unpack time
    estimation in a case when user uses unpack-script to do some things
    before executing unrar (for example sending Wake-On-Lan message to
    the destination NAS); it works with unrar only, it's not possible
    with 7-Zip because it buffers printed messages;
  - when the program is reloaded, a message with version number is
    printed like on start;
  - configuration can now be saved in web-interface even if there were
    no changes made but if obsolete or invalid options were detected in
    the config file; the saving removes invalid entries from config file;
  - option <ControlPassword> can now be set to en empty value to disable
    authentication; useful if nzbget works behind other web-server with
    its own authentication;
  - when deleting downloads via web-interface a proper hint regarding
    deleting of already downloaded files from disk depending on option
    <DeleteCleanupDisk> is displayed;
  - if a news-server returns empty or bad article (this may be caused
    by errors on the news server), the program tries again from the same
    or other servers (in previous versions the article was marked as
    failed without other download attempts);
  - when a nzb-file whose name ends with ".queued" is added via web-
    interface the ".queued"-part is automatically removed;
  - small improvement in multithread synchronization of download queue;
  - added link to catalog of pp-scripts to web-interface;
  - updated forum URL in about dialog in web-interface;
  - small correction in a log-message: removed <Request:> from message
    <Request: Queue collection...>;
  - removed option "ProcessLogKind"; scripts should use prefixes ([INFO],
    [DETAIL], etc); messages printed without prefixes are added as [INFO];
  - removed option "AppendNzbDir"; if it was disabled that caused problems 
    in par-checker and unpacker; the option is now assumed always active;
  - removed option "RenameBroken"; it caused problems in par-checker
    (the option existed since early program versions before the par-check
    was added);
  - configure-script now defines "SIGCHLD_HANDLER" by default on all
    systems including BSD; this eliminates the need of configure-
    parameter "--enable-sigchld-handler" on 64-Bit BSD; the trade-off:
    32-Bit BSD now requires "--disable-sigchld-handler";
  - improved configure-script: defining of symbol "FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64",
    required on some systems, is not necessary anymore;
  - fixed: in the option "NzbAddedProcess" the env-var parameter with
    nzb-name was passed in "NZBNA_NAME", should be "NZBNA_NZBNAME";
    the old parameter name "NZBNA_NAME" is still supported for
    compatibility;
  - fixed: download time in statistics were incorrect if the computer
    was put into standby (thanks Frank Kuypers for the patch);
  - fixed: when option <InterDir> was active and the download after
    unpack contained rar-file with the same name as one of original
    files (sometimes happen with included subtitles) the original
    rar-file was kept with name <.rar_duplicate1> even if the option
    <UnpackCleanupDisk> was active;
  - fixed: failed to read download queue from disk if post-processing
    queue was not empty;
  - fixed: when a duplicate file was detected during download the
    program could hang;
  - fixed: symbol <DISABLE_TLS> must be defined in project settings;
    defining it in <win32.h> didn't work properly (Windows only);
  - fixed: crash when adding malformed nzb-files with certain
    structure (Windows only);
  - fixed: by deleting of a partially downloaded nzb-file from queue,
    when the option <DeleteCleanupDisk> was active, the file
    <_brokenlog.txt> was not deleted preventing the directory from
    automatic deletion;
  - fixed: if an error occurs when a RPC-client or web-browser
    communicates with nzbget the program could crash;
  - fixed: if the last file of collection was detected as duplicate
    after the download of the first article the file was deleted from
    queue (that's OK) but the post-processing was not triggered
    (that's a bug);
  - fixed: support for splitted files (.001, .002, etc.) were broken.
    
nzbget-10.2:
  - fixed potential segfault which could happen with file paths longer
    than 1024 characters;
  - fixed: when options <DirectWrite> and <ContinuePartial> were both
    active, a restart or reload of the program during download may cause
    damaged files in the active download;
  - increased width of speed indication ui-element to avoid layout
    breaking on some linux-browsers;
  - fixed a race condition in unpacker which could lead to a segfault
    (although the chances were low because the code wasn't executed often).

nzbget-10.1:
  - fixed: articles with decoding errors (incomplete or damaged posts)
    caused infinite retry-loop in downloader.

nzbget-10.0:
  - added built-in unpack:
        - rar and 7-zip formats are supported (via external Unrar and
          7-Zip executables);
        - new options <Unpack>, <UnpackPauseQueue>, <UnpackCleanupDisk>,
          <UnrarCmd>, <SevenZipCmd>;
        - web-interface now shows progress and estimated time during
          unpack (rar only; for 7-Zip progress is not available due to 
          limitations of 7-Zip);
        - when built-in unpack is enabled, the post-processing script is
          called after unpack and possibly par-check/repair (if needed);
        - for nzb-files containing multiple collections (par-sets) the
          post-processing script is called only once, after the last
          par-set;
        - new parameter <NZBPP_UNPACKSTATUS> passed to post-processing
          script;
        - if the option <AllowReProcess> is enabled the post-processing-
          script is called after each par-set (as in previous versions);
        - example post-processing script updated: removed unrar-code, 
          added check for unpack status;
        - new field <UnpackStatus> in result of RPC-method <history>;
        - history-dialog in web-interface shows three status: par-status,
          unpack-status, script-status;
        - with two built-in special post-processing parameters <*Unpack:>
          and <*Unpack:Password> the unpack can be disabled for individual
          nzb-file or the password can be set;
        - built-in special post-processing parameters can be set via web-
          interface on page <PP-Parameters> (when built-in unpack is
          enabled);
  - added support for HTTPS to the built-in web-server (web-interface and 
    XML/JSON-RPC):
        - new options <SecureControl>, <SecurePort>, <SecureCert> and 
          <SecureKey>;
        - module <TLS.c/h> completely rewritten with support for server-
          side sockets, newer versions of GnuTLS, proper thread lockings
          in OpenSSL;
  - improved the automatic par-scan (option <ParScan=auto>) to 
    significantly reduce the verify-time in some common cases with renamed
    rar-files:
        - the extra files are scanned in an optimized order;
        - the scan stops when all missings files are found;
  - added fast renaming of intentionally misnamed (rar-) files:
        - the new renaming algorithm doesn't require full par-scan and 
          restores original filenames in just a few seconds, even on very
          slow computers (NAS, media players, etc.);
        - the fast renaming is performed automatically when requested by
          the built-in unpacker (option <Unpack> must be active);
  - added new option <InterDir> to put intermediate files during download
    into a separate directory (instead of storing them directly in 
    destination directory (option <DestDir>):
        - when nzb-file is completely (successfully) downloaded, repaired 
          (if neccessary) and unpacked the files are moved to destination 
          directory (option <DestDir> or <CategoryX.DestDir>);
        - intermediate directory can significantly improve unpack 
           performance if it is located on a separate physical hard drive;
  - added new option <ServerX.Cipher> to manually select cipher for 
    encrypted communication with news server:
        - manually choosing a faster cipher (such as <RC4>) can 
          significantly improve performance (if CPU is a limiting factor);
  - major improvements in news-server/connection management (main and fill
    servers):
        - if download of article fails, the program tries all servers of 
          the same level before trying higher level servers;
        - this ensures that fill servers are used only if all main servers
          fail;
        - this makes the configuring of multiple servers much easier than
          before: in most cases the simple configuration of level 0 for 
          all main servers and level 1 for all fill servers suffices;
        - in previous versions the level was increased immediately after
          the first tried server of the level failed; to make sure all 
          main servers were tried before downloading from fill servers it
          was required to create complex server configurations with 
          duplicates; these configurations were still not as effective as
          now;
        - do not reconnect on <article/group not found> errors since this
          doesn't help but unnecessary increases CPU load and network 
          traffic;
        - removed option <RetryOnCrcError>; it's not required anymore; 
        - new option <ServerX.Group> allows more flexible configuration 
          of news servers when using multiple accounts on the same server;
          with this option it's also possible to imitate the old server 
          management behavior regarding levels;
  - news servers configuration is now less error-prone:
        - the option <ServerX.Level> is not required to start from <0> and
          when several news servers are configured the Levels can be any
          integers - the program sorts the servers and corrects the Levels
          to 0,1,2,etc. automatically if needed;
        - when option <ServerX.Connections> is set to <0> the server is 
          ignored (in previous version such a server could cause hanging
          when the program was trying to go to the next level);
        - if no news servers are defined (or all definitions are invalid) 
          a warning is printed to inform that the download is not 
          possible;
  - categories can now have their own destination directories; new option
    <CategoryX.DestDir>;
  - new feature <Pause for X Minutes> in web-interface; new XML-/JSON-RPC
    method <scheduleresume>;
  - improved the handling of hanging connections: if a connection hangs 
    longer than defined by option <ConnectionTimeout> the program tries to
    gracefully close connection first (this is new); if it still hangs 
    after <TerminateTimeout> the download thread is terminated as a last 
    resort (as in previous versions);
  - added automatic speed meter recalibration to recover after possible
    synchronization errors which can occur when the option <AccurateRate>
    is not active; this makes the default (less accurate but fast) speed
    meter almost as good as the accurate one; important when speed 
    throttling is active;
  - when the par-checked requests more par-files, they get an extra 
    priority and are downloaded before other files regardless of their 
    priorities; this is needed to avoid hanging of par-checker-job if a 
    file with a higher priority gets added to queue during par-check;
  - when post-processing-parameters are passed to the post-processing 
    script a second version of each parameter with a normalized parameter-
    name is passed in addition to the original parameter name; in the 
    normalized name the special characters <*> and <:> are replaced with
    <_> and all characters are passed in upper case; this is important for
    internal post-processing-parameters (*Unpack:=yes/no) which include
    special characters;
  - warning <Non-nzbget request received> now is not printed when the 
    connection was aborted before the request signature was read;
  - changed formatting of remaining time for post-processing to short 
    format (as used for remaining download time);
  - added link to article <Performance tips> to settings tab on web-
    interface;
  - removed hint <Post-processing script may have moved files elsewhere> 
    from history dialog since it caused more questions than helped;
  - changed default value for option <ServerX.JoinGroup> to <no>; most 
    news servers nowadays do not require joining the group and many 
    servers do not keep headers for many groups making the join-command
    fail even if the articles still can be successfully downloaded;
  - small change in example post-processing script: message <Deleting 
    source ts-files> are now printed only if ts-files really existed;
  - improved configure-script:
        - libs which are added via pkgconfig are now put into LIBS instead
          of LDFLAGS - improves compatibility with newer Linux linkers;
        - OpenSSL libs/includes are now added using pkgconfig to better 
          handle dependencies;
        - additional check for libcrypto (part of OpenSSL) ensures the 
          library is added to linker command even if pkgconfig is not 
          used;
  - adding of local files via web-interface now works in IE10;
  - if an obsolete option is found in the config file a warning is printed
    instead of an error and the program is not paused anymore;
  - fixed: the reported line numbers for configuration errors were 
    sometimes inaccurate;
  - fixed warning <file glyphicons-halflings.png not found>;
  - fixed: some XML-/JSON-RPC methods may return negative values for file
    sizes between 2-4GB; this had also influence on web-interface.
  - fixed: if an external program (unrar, pp-script, etc.) could not be
    started, the execute-function has returned code 255 although the code
    -1 were expected in this case; this could break designed post-
    processing flow;
  - fixed: some characters with codes below 32 were not properly encoded
    in JSON-RPC; sometimes output from unrar contained such characters 
    and could break web-interface;
  - fixed: special characters (quotation marks, etc.) in unpack password
    and in configuration options were not displayed properly and could be
    discarded on saving;

nzbget-9.1:
  - added full par-scan feature needed to par-check/repair files which
    were renamed after creation of par-files:
  - new option <ParScan> to activate full par-scan (always or automatic);
    the automatic full par-scan activates if missing files are detected
    during par-check, this avoids unnecessary full scan for normal
    (not renamed) par sets;
  - improved the post-processing script to better handle renamed rar-files;
  - replaced a browser error message when trying to add local files in
    IE9 with a better message dialog;

nzbget-9.0:
  - changed version naming scheme by removing the leading zero: current
    version is now called 9.0 instead of 0.9.0 (it's really the 9th major
    version of the program);
  - added built-in web-interface:
        - completely new designed and written from scratch;
        - doesn't require a separate web-server;
        - doesn't require PHP;
        - 100% Javascript application; the built-in web-server hosts only
          static files; the javascript app communicates with NZBGet via
          JSON-RPC;
        - very efficient usage of server resources (CPU and memory);
        - easy installation. Since neither a separate web-server nor PHP
          are needed the installation of new web-interface is very easy.
          Actually it is performed automatically when you "make install"
          or "ipkg install nzbget";
        - modern look: better layout, popup dialogs, nice animations,
          hi-def icons;
        - built-in phone-theme (activates automatically);
        - combined view for "currently downloading", "queued", "currently
          processing" and "queued for processing";
        - renaming of nzb-files;
        - multiselect with multiedit or merge of downloads;
        - fast paging in the lists (downloads, history, messages);
        - search box for filtering in the lists (downloads, history, messages)
          and in settings;
        - adding nzb-files to download queue was improved in several ways:
            - add multiple files at once. The "select files dialog" allows
              to select multiple files;
            - add files using drag and drop. Just drop the files from your
              file manager directly into the web-browser;
            - add files via URLs. Put the URL and NZBGet downloads the
              nzb-file and adds it to download queue automatically;
            - the priority of nzb-file can now be set when adding local-files
              or URLs;
  - the history can be cleared completely or selected items can be removed;
  - file mode is now nzb-file related;
  - added the ability to queue URLs:
        - the program automatically downloads nzb-files from given URLs
          and put them to download queue.
        - when multiple URLs are added in a short time, they are put
          into a special URL-queue.
        - the number of simultaneous URL-downloads are controlled via
          new option UrlConnections.
        - with the new option ReloadUrlQueue can be controlled if the URL-queue
          should be reloaded after the program is restarted (if the URL-queue
          was not empty).
        - new switch <-U> for remote-command <--append/-A> to queue an URL.
        - new subcommand <-U> in the remote command <--list/-L> prints the
          current URL-queue.
        - if URL-download fails, the URL is moved into history.
        - with subcommand <-R> of command <--edit> the failed URL can be
          returned to URL-queue for redownload.
        - the remote command <--list/-L> for history can now print the infos
          for URL history items.
        - new XML/JSON-RPC command <appendurl> to add an URL or multiple
          URLs for download.
        - new XML/JSON-RPC command <urlqueue> returns the items from the
          URL-queue.
        - the XML/JSON-RPC command <history> was extended to provide
          infos about URL history items.
        - the URL-queue obeys the pause-state of download queue.
        - the URL-downloads support HTTP and HTTPS protocols;
  - added new field <name> to nzb-info-object.
        - it is initially set to the cleaned up name of the nzb-file.
        - the renaming of the group changes this field.
        - all RPC-methods related to nzb-object return the new field, the
          old field <NZBNicename> is now deprecated.
        - the option <MergeNZB> now checks the <name>-field instead of
          <nzbfilename> (the latter is not changed when the nzb is renamed).
        - new env-var-parameter <NZBPP_NZBNAME> for post-processing script;
  - added options <GN> and <FN> for remote command <--edit/-E>. With these
    options the name of group or file can be used in edit-command instead
    of file ID;
  - added support for regular expressions (POSIX ERE Syntax) in remote
    commands <--list/-L> and <--edit/-E> using new subcommands <GR> and <FR>;
  - improved performance of RPC-command <listgroups>;
  - added new command <FileReorder> to RPC-method <editqueue> to set the
    order of individual files in the group;
  - added gzip-support to built-in web-server (including RPC);
  - added processing of http-request <OPTIONS> in RPC-server for better
    support of cross domain requests;
  - renamed example configuration file and postprocessing script to make
    the installation easier;
  - improved the automatic installation (<make install>) to install all
    necessary files (not only the binary as it was before);
  - improved handling of configuration errors: the program now does not
    terminate on errors but rather logs all of them and uses default option values;
  - added new XML/JSON-RPC methods <config>, <loadconfig> and <saveconfig>;
  - with active option <AllowReProcess> the NZB considered completed even if
    there are paused non-par-files (the paused non-par-files are treated the
    same way as paused par-files): as a result the reprocessable script is called;
  - added subcommand <W> to remote command <-S/--scan> to scan synchronously
    (wait until scan completed);
  - added parameter <SyncMode> to XML/JSON-RPC method <scan>;
  - the command <Scan> in web-interface now waits for completing of scan
    before reporting the status;
  - added remote command <--reload/-O> and JSON/XML-RPC method <reload> to
    reload configuration from disk and reintialize the program; the reload
    can be performed from web-interface;
  - JSON/XML-RPC method <append> extended with parameter <priority>;
  - categories available in web-interface are now configured in program
    configuration file (nzbget.conf) and can be managed via web-interface
    on settings page;
  - updated descriptions in example configuration file;
  - changes in configuration file:
        - renamed options <ServerIP>, <ServerPort> and <ServerPassword> to
          <ControlIP>, <ControlPort> and <ControlPassword> to avoid confusion
          with news-server options <ServerX.Host>, <ServerX.Port> and
          <ServerX.Password>;
        - the old option names are still recognized and are automatically
          renamed when the configuration is saved from web-interface;
        - also renamed option <$MAINDIR> to <MainDir>;
  - extended remote command <--append/-A> with optional parameters:
        - <T> - adds the file/URL to the top of queue;
        - <P> - pauses added files;
        - <C category-name> - sets category for added nzb-file/URL;
        - <N nzb-name> - sets nzb filename for added URL;
        - the old switches <--category/-K> and <--top/-T> are deprecated
          but still supported for compatibility;
  - renamed subcommand <K> of command <--edit/-E> to <C> (the old
    subcommand is still supported for compatibility);
  - added new option <NzbAddedProcess> to setup a script called after
    a nzb-file is added to queue;
  - added debug messages for speed meter;
  - improved the startup script <nzbgetd> so it can be directly used in
    </etc/init.d> without modifications;
  - fixed: after renaming of a group, the new name was not displayed
    by remote commands <-L G> and <-C in curses mode>;
  - fixed incompatibility with OpenSLL 1.0 (thanks to OpenWRT team
    for the patch);
  - fixed: RPC-method <log(0, IdFrom)> could return wrong results if
    the log was filtered with options <XXXTarget>;
  - fixed: free disk space calculated incorrectly on some OSes;
  - fixed: unrar failure was not always properly detected causing the
    post-processing to delete not yet unpacked rar-files;
  - fixed compilation error on recent linux versions;
  - fixed compilation error on older systems;

nzbget-0.8.0:
  - added priorities; new action <I> for remote command <--edit/-E> to set
    priorities for groups or individual files; new actions <SetGroupPriority>
    and <SetFilePriority> of RPC-command <editqueue>; remote command
    <--list/-L> prints priorities and indicates files or groups being
    downloaded; ncurses-frontend prints priorities and indicates files or
    groups being download; new command <PRIORITY> to set priority of nzb-file
    from nzbprocess-script; RPC-commands <listgroups> and <listfiles> return
    priorities and indicate files or groups being downloaded;
  - added renaming of groups; new subcommand <N> for command <--edit/-E>; new
    action <SetName> for RPC-method <editqueue>;
  - added new option <AccurateRate>, which enables syncronisation in speed
    meter; that makes the indicated speed more accurate by eliminating
    measurement errors possible due thread conflicts; thanks to anonymous
    nzbget user for the patch;
  - improved the parsing of filename from article subject;
  - option <DirectWrite> now efficiently works on Windows with NTFS partitions;
  - added URL-based-authentication as alternative to HTTP-header authentication
    for XML- and JSON-RPC;
  - fixed: nzb-files containing umlauts and other special characters could not
    be parsed - replaced XML-Reader with SAX-Parser - only on POSIX (not on 
    Windows);
  - fixed incorrect displaying of group sizes bigger than 4GB on many 64-bit
    OSes;
  - fixed a bug causing error on decoding of input data in JSON-RPC;
  - fixed a compilation error on some windows versions;
  - fixed: par-repair could fail when the filenames were not correctly parsed
    from article subjects;
  - fixed a compatibility issue with OpenBSD (and possibly other BSD based
    systems); added the automatic configuring of required signal handling logic
    to better support BSD without breaking the compatibility with certain Linux
    systems;
  - corrected the address of Free Software Foundation in copyright notice.
   
nzbget-0.7.0:
  - added history: new option <KeepHistory>, new remote subcommand <H> for
    commands <L> (list history entries) and <E> (delete history entries,
    return history item, postprocess history item), new RPC-command <History>
    and subcommands <HistoryDelete>, <HistoryReturn>, <HistoryProcess> for
    command <EditQueue>;
  - added support for JSON-P (extension of JSON-RPC);
  - changed the result code returning status <ERROR> for postprocessing script
    from <1> to <94> (needed to show the proper script status in history);
  - improved the detection of new files in incoming nzb directory: now the
    scanner does not rely on system datum, but tracks the changing of file
    sizes during a last few (<NzbDirFileAge>) seconds instead;
  - improvements in example postprocessing script: 1) if download contains
    only par2-files the script do not delete them during cleanup;
    2) if download contains only nzb-files the script moves them to incoming
    nzb-directory for further download;
  - improved formatting of groups and added time info in curses output mode;
  - added second pause register, which is independent of main pause-state and
    therfore is intended for usage from external scripts;
    that allows to pause download without interfering with options
    <ParPauseQueue> and <PostPauseQueue> and scheduler tasks <PauseDownload>
    and <UnpauseDownload> - they all work with first (default) pause register;
    new subcommand <D2> for commands <--pause/-P> and <--unpause/-U>;
    new RPC-command <pausedownload2> and <resumedownload2>;
    existing RPC-commands <pause> und <resume> renamed to <pausedownload> and
    <resumedownload>;
    new field <Download2Paused> in result struct for RPC-command <status>;
    existing fields <ServerPaused> and <ParJobCount> renamed to 
    <DownloadPaused> and <PostJobCount>;
    old RPC-commands and fields still exist for compatibility;
    the status output of command <--list/-L> indicates the state of second
    pause register;
    key <P> in curses-frontend can unpause second pause-register;
  - nzbprocess-script (option <NZBProcess>) can now set category and
    post-processing parameters for nzb-file;
  - redesigned server pool and par-checker to avoid using of semaphores
    (which are very platform specific);
  - added subcommand <S> to remote commands <--pause/-P> and <--unpause/-U> to
    pause/unpause the scanning of incoming nzb-directory;
  - added commands <PauseScan> and <UnpauseScan> for scheduler option 
    <TaskX.Command>;
  - added remote commands <PauseScan> and <ResumeScan> for XML-/JSON-RPC;
  - command <pause post-processing> now not only pauses the post-processing
    queue but also pauses the current post-processing job (par-job or 
    script-job);
    however the script-job can be paused only after the next line printed to
    screen;
  - improved error reporting while parsing nzb-files;
  - added field <NZBID> to NZBInfo; the field is now returned by XML-/JSON-RPC
    methods <listfiles>, <listgroups> and <postqueue>;
  - improvements in configure script;
  - added support for platforms without IPv6 (they do not have <getaddrinfo>);
  - debug-messages generated on early stages during initializing are now
    printed to screen/log-file;
  - messages about obsolete options are now printed to screen/log-file;
  - imporved example postprocessing script: added support for external
    configuration file, postprocessing parameters and configuration via
    web-interface;
  - option <TaskX.Process> now can contain parameters which must be passed
    to the script;
  - added pausing/resuming for post-processor queue; 
    added new modifier <O> to remote commands <--pause/-P> and <--unpause/-U>;
    added new commands <postpause> and <postresume> to XML-/JSON-RPC;
    extended output of remote command <--list/-L> to indicate paused state
    of post-processor queue; extended command <status> of XML-/JSON-RPC
    with field <PostPause>;
  - changed the command line syntax for requesting of post-processor queue
    from <-O> to <-L O> for consistency with other post-queue related
    commands (<-P O>, <-U O> and <-E O>);
  - improved example post-processing script: added support for delayed
    par-check (try unrar first, par-repair if unrar failed);
  - added modifier <O> to command <-E/--edit> for editing of
    post-processor-queue;
    following subcommands are supported: <+/-offset>, <T>, <B>, <D>;
    subcommand <D> supports deletion of queued post-jobs and active job as well;
    deletion of active job means the cancelling of par-check/repair or
    terminating of post-processing-script (including child processes of the 
    script);
    updated remote-server to support new edit-subcommands in XML/JSON-RPC;
  - extended the syntax of option <TaskX.Time> in two ways: 
    1) it now accepts multiple comma-separated values;
    2) an asterix as hours-part means <every hour>;
  - added svn revision number to version string (commands <-v> and <-V>,
    startup log entry);
    svn revision is automatically read from svn-repository on each build;
  - added estimated remaining time and better distinguishing of server state
    in command <--list/-L>;
  - added new return code (93) for post-processing script to indicate
    successful processing; that results in cleaning up of download queue
    if option <ParCleanupQueue> is active;
  - added readonly options <AppBin>, <ConfigFile> and <Version> for usage
    in processing scripts (options are available as environment variables
    <NZBOP_APPBIN>, <NZBOP_CONFIGFILE> and <NZBOP_VERSION>);
  - renamed ParStatus constant <FAILED> to <FAILURE> for a consistence with
    ScriptStatus constant <FAILURE>, that also affects the results of
    RPC-command <history>;
  - added a new return code <95/POSTPROCESS_NONE> for post-processing scripts
    for cases when pp-script skips all post-processing work (typically upon
    a user's request via a pp-parameter);
    modified the example post-processing script to return the new code
    instead of a error code when a pp-parameter <PostProcess> was set to <no>;
  - added field <PostTime> to result of RPC-Command <listfiles> and fields
    <MinPostTime> and <MaxPostTime> for command <listgroups>;
  - in <curses> and <colored> output-modes the download speed is now printed
    with one decimal digit when the speed is lower than 10 KB/s;
  - improvement in example post-processing script: added check for existence
    of <unrar> and command <wc>;
  - added shell batch file for windows (nzbget-shell.bat);
    thanks to orbisvicis (orbisvicis@users.sourceforge.net) for the script;
  - added debian style init script (nzbgetd);
    thanks to orbisvicis (orbisvicis@users.sourceforge.net) for the script;
  - added the returning of a proper HTTP error code if the authorization was
    failed on RPC-calls;
    thanks to jdembski (jdembski@users.sourceforge.net) for the patch;
  - changed the sleep-time during the throttling of bandwidth from 200ms to
    10ms in order to achieve better uniformity;
  - modified example postprocessing script to not use the command <dirname>,
    which is not always available; 
    thanks to Ger Teunis for the patch;
  - improved example post-processing script: added the check for existence
    of destination directory to return a proper ERROR-code (important for
    reprocessing of history items);
  - by saving the queue to disk now using relative paths for the list of
    compeled files to reduce the file's size;
  - eliminated few compiler warnings on GCC;
  - fixed: when option <DaemonUserName> was specified and nzbget was
    started as root, the lockfile was not removed;
  - fixed: nothing was downloaded when the option <Retries> was set to <0>;
  - fixed: base64 decoding function used by RPC-method <append> sometimes
    failed, in particular when called from Ruby-language;
  - fixed: JSON-RPC-commands failed, if parameters were placed before method
    name in the request;
  - fixed: RPC-method <append> did not work properly on Posix systems
    (it worked only on Windows);
  - fixed compilation error when using native curses library on OpenSolaris;
  - fixed linking error on OpenSolaris when using GnuTLS;
  - fixed: option <ContinuePartial> did not work;
  - fixed: seg. fault in service mode on program start (Windows only);
  - fixed: environment block was not passed correctly to child process,
    what could result in seg faults (windows only);
  - fixed: returning the postprocessing exit code <92 - par-check all 
    collections> when there were no par-files results in endless calling
    of postprocessing script;
  - fixed compatibility issues with OS/2.

nzbget-0.6.0:
  - added scheduler; new options <TaskX.Time>, <TaskX.WeekDays>,
    <TaskX.Command>, <TaskX.DownloadRate> and <TaskX.Process>;
  - added support for postprocess-parameters; new subcommand <O> of remote
    command <E> to add/modify pp-parameter for group (nzb-file); new
    XML-/JSON-RPC-subcommand <GroupSetParameter> of method <editqueue> for
    the same purpose; updated example configuration file and example
    postprocess-script to indicate new method of passing arguments via
    environment variables;
  - added subcommands <F>, <G> and <S> to command line switch <-L/--list>,
    which prints list of files, groups or only status info respectively;
    extended binary communication protocol to transfer nzb-infos in addition
    to file-infos;
  - added new subcommand <M> to edit-command <E> for merging of two (or more)
    groups (useful after adding pars from a separate nzb-file);
  - added option <MergeNzb> to automatically merge nzb-files with the same
    filename (useful by adding pars from a different source);
  - added script-processing of files in incoming directory to allow automatic
    unpacking and queueing of compressed nzb-files; new option <NzbProcess>;
  - added the printing of post-process-parameters for groups in command
    <--list G>;
  - added the printing of nzbget version into the log-file on start;
  - added option <DeleteCleanupDisk> to automatically delete already downloaded
    files from disk if nzb-file was deleted from queue (the download was
    cancelled);
  - added option <ParTimeLimit> to define the max time allowed for par-repair;
  - added command <--scan/-S> to execute the scan of nzb-directory on remote
    server;
  - changed the method to pass arguments to postprocess/nzbprocess: now using
    environment variables (old method is still supported for compatibility with
    existing scripts);
  - added the passing of nzbget-options to postprocess/nzbprocess scripts as
    environment variables;
  - extended the communication between nzbget and post-process-script: 
    collections are now detected even if parcheck is disabled;
  - added support for delayed par-check/repair: post-process-script can request
    par-check/repair using special exit codes to repair current collection or
    all collections;
  - implemented the normalizing of option names and values in option list; the
    command <-p> also prints normalized names and values now; that makes the
    parsing of output of command <-p> for external scripts easier;
  - replaced option <PostLogKind> with new option <ProcessLogKind> which is now
    used by all scripts (PostProcess, NzbProcess, TaskX.Process);
  - improved entering to paused state on connection errors (do not retry failed
    downloads if pause was activated);
  - improved error reporting on decoding failures;
  - improved compatibility of yenc-decoder;
  - improved the speed of deleting of groups from download queue (by avoiding
    the saving of queue after the deleting of each individual file);
  - updated configure-script for better compatibility with FreeBSD;
  - cleaning up of download queue (option <ParCleanupQueue>) and deletion of
    source nzb-file (option <NzbCleanupDisk>) after par-repair now works also
    if par-repair was cancelled (option <ParTimeLimit>); since required
    par-files were already downloaded the repair in an external tool is
    possible;
  - added workaround to avoid hangs in child processes (by starting of
    postprocess or nzbprocess), observed on uClibC based systems;
  - fixed: TLS/SSL didn't work in standalone mode;
  - fixed compatibility issues with Mac OS X;
  - fixed: not all necessary par2-files were unpaused on first request for
    par-blocks (although harmless, because additional files were unpaused
    later anyway);
  - fixed small memory leak appeared if process-script could not be started;
  - fixed: configure-script could not detect the right syntax for function
    <ctime_r> on OpenSolaris.
  - fixed: files downloaded with disabled decoder (option decode=no) sometimes
    were malformed and could not be decoded;
  - fixed: empty string parameters did not always work in XML-RPC.

nzbget-0.5.1:
  - improved the check of server responses to prevent unnecessary retrying
    if the article does not exist on server;
  - fixed: seg.fault in standalone mode if used without specifying the
    category (e.g. without switch <-K>);
  - fixed: download speed indicator could report not-null values in
    standby-mode (when paused);
  - fixed: parameter <category> in JSON/XML-RPC was not properly decoded by
    server, making the setting of a nested category (containing slash or
    backslash character) via nzbgetweb not possible;
    
nzbget-0.5.0:
  - added TLS/SSL-support for encrypted communication with news-servers;
  - added IPv6-support for communication with news-servers as well as for
    communication between nzbget-server and nzbget-client;
  - added support for categories to organize downloaded files;
  - new option <AppendCategoryDir> to create the subdirectory for each category;
  - new switch <-K> for usage with switch <-A> to define a category during
    the adding a file to download queue;
  - new command <K> in switch <-E> to change the category of nzb-file in
    download queue; the already downloaded files are automatically moved to new
    directory if the option <AppendCategoryDir> is active;
  - new parameter <Category> in XML-/JSON-RPC-command <editqueue> to allow the
    changing of category via those protocols;
  - new parameter in a call to post-process-script with category name; 
  - scanning of subdirectories inside incoming nzb-directory to automatically 
    assign category names; nested categories are supported;
  - added option <ServerX.JoinGroup> to connect to servers, that do not accept
    <GROUP>-command;
  - added example post-process script for unraring of downloaded files
    (POSIX only);
  - added options <ParPauseQueue> and <PostPauseQueue> useful on slow CPUs;
  - added option <NzbCleanupDisk> to delete source nzb-file after successful 
    download and parcheck;
  - switch <-P> can now be used together with switches <-s> and <-D> to start
    server/daemon in paused state;
  - changed the type of messages logged in a case of connection errors from
    <DEBUG> to <ERROR> to provide better error reporting;
  - now using OS-specific line-endings in log-file and brokenlog-file: LF on 
    Posix and CRLF on Windows;
  - added detection of adjusting of system clock to correct uptime/download 
    time (for NAS-devices, that do not have internal clock and set time from
    internet after booting, while nzbget may be already running);
  - added the printing of stack on segmentation faults (if configured with 
    <--enable-debug>, POSIX only);
  - added option <DumpCore> for better debugging on Linux in a case of abnormal
    program termination;
  - fixed: configure-script could not automatically find libsigc++ on 64-bit
    systems;
  - few other small fixes; 
 
nzbget-0.4.1:
  - to avoid accidental deletion of file in curses-frontend the key <D>
    now must be pressed in uppercase;
  - options <username> and <password> in news-server's configuration are now 
    optional;
  - added the server's name to the detail-log-message, displayed on the start 
    of article's download;
  - added the option <AllowReProcess> to help to post-process-scripts, which 
    make par-check/-repair on it's own;
  - improved download-speed-meter: it uses now a little bit less cpu and
    calculates the speed for the last 30 seconds (instead of 5 seconds),
    providing better accuracy; Thanks to ydrol <ydrol@users.sourceforge.net>
    for the patch;
  - reduced CPU-usage in curses-outputmode; Thanks to ydrol for the patch 
    <ydrol@users.sourceforge.net>;
  - fixed: line-endings in windows-style (CR-LF) in config-file were not 
    read properly;
  - fixed: trailing spaces in nzb-filenames (before the file's extension) 
    caused errors on windows. Now they will be trimmed;
  - fixed: XML-RPC and JSON-RPC did not work on Big-Endian-CPUs (ARM, PPC, etc), 
    preventing the using of web-interface;
  - fixed: umask-option did not allow to enable write-permissions for <group> 
    and <others>;
  - fixed: in curses-outputmode the remote-client showed on first screen-update 
    only one item of queue;
  - fixed: edit-commands with negative offset did not work via XML-RPC 
    (but worked via JSON-RPC);
  - fixed incompatibility issues with gcc 4.3; Thanks to Paul Bredbury 
    <brebs@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch;
  - fixed: segmentation fault if a file listed in nzb-file does not have any 
    segments (articles);

nzbget-0.4.0:
  - added the support for XML-RPC and JSON-RPC to easier control the server 
    from other applications; 
  - added web-interface - it is available for download from NZBGet-project's 
    home page as a separate package "web-interface";
  - added the automatic cleaning up of the download queue (deletion of unneeded 
    paused par-files) after successful par-check/repair - new 
    option <ParCleanupQueue>;
  - added option <DetailTarget> to allow to filter the (not so important) 
    log-messages from articles' downloads (they have now the type <detail> 
    instead of <info>);
  - added the gathering of progress-information during par-check; it is 
    available via XML-RPC or JSON-RPC; it is also showed in web-interface;
  - improvements in internal decoder: added support for yEnc-files without 
    ypart-statement (sometimes used for small files); added support for 
    UU-format;
  - removed support for uulib-decoder (it did not work well anyway); 
  - replaced the option <decoder (yenc, uulib, none)> with the option 
    <decode (yes, no)>;
  - added detection of errors <server busy> and <remote server not available> 
    (special case for NNTPCache-server) to consider them as connect-errors 
    (and therefore not count as retries); 
  - added check for incomplete articles (also mostly for NNTPCache-server) to 
    differ such errors from CrcErrors (better error reporting);
  - improved error-reporting on moving of completed files from tmp- to 
    dst-directory and added code to move files across drives if renaming fails;
  - improved handling of nzb-files with multiple collections in par-checker;
  - improved the parchecker: added the detection and processing of files 
    splitted after parring;
  - added the queueing of post-process-scripts and waiting for script's 
    completion before starting of a next job in postprocessor (par-job or 
    script) to provide more balanced cpu utilization;
  - added the redirecting of post-process-script's output to log; new option 
    <PostLogKind> to specify the default message-kind for unformatted 
    log-messages;
  - added the returning of script-output by command <postqueue> via XML-RPC 
    and JSON-RPC; the script-output is also showed in web-interface;
  - added the saving and restoring of the post-processor-queue (if server was 
    stopped before all items were processed); new option <ReloadPostQueue>;
  - added new parameter to postprocess-script to indicate if any of par-jobs 
    for the same nzb-file failed;
  - added remote command (switch O/--post) to request the post-processor-queue 
    from server;
  - added remote command (switch -W/--write) to write messages to server's log;
  - added option <DiskSpace> to automatically pause the download on low disk 
    space;
  - fixed few incompatibility-issues with unslung-platform on nslu2 (ARM);
  - fixed: articles with trailing text after binary data caused the decode 
    failures and the reporting of CRC-errors;
  - fixed: dupecheck could cause seg.faults when all articles for a file failed;
  - fixed: by dupe-checking of files contained in nzb-file the files with the 
    same size were ignored (not deleted from queue);
  - updated libpar2-patch for msvc to fix a segfault in libpar2 (windows only);
  - fixed: by registering the service on windows the fullpath to nzbget.exe 
    was not always added to service's exename, making the registered service 
    unusable;
  - fixed: the pausing of a group could cause the start of post-processing for 
    that group;
  - fixed: too many info-messages <Need more N blocks> could be printed during 
    par-check (appeared on posix only);
  
nzbget-0.3.1:
  - Greatly reduced the memory consumption by keeping articles' info on disk 
    until the file download starts;
  - Implemented decode-on-the-fly-technique to reduce disk-io; downloaded
    and decoded data can also be saved directly to the destination file 
    (without any intermediate files at all); this eliminates the necessity
    of joining of articles later (option "DirectWrite");
  - Improved communication with news-servers: connections are now keeped open 
    until all files are downloaded (or server paused); this eliminates the 
    need for establishing of connections and authorizations for each 
    article and improves overal download speed;
  - Significantly better download speed is now possible on fast connection; 
    it was limited by delays on starting of new articles' downloads; 
    the synchronisation mechanism was reworked to fix this issue;
  - Download speed meter is much more accurate, especially on fast connections;
    this also means better speed throttling;
  - Speed optimisations in internal decoder (up to 25% faster);
  - CRC-calculation can be bypassed to increase performance on slow CPUs
    (option "CrcCheck");
  - Improved parsing of artcile's subject for better extracting of filename 
    part from it and implemented a fallback-option if the parsing was incorrect; 
  - Improved dupe check for files from the same nzb-request to detect reposted 
    files and download only the best from them (if option "DupeCheck" is on); 
  - Articles with incorrect CRC can be treated as "possibly recoverable errors"
    and relaunched for download (option "RetryOnCrcError"), it is useful if 
    multiple servers are available;
  - Improved error-check for downloaded articles (crc-check and check for
    received message-id) decreases the number of broken files;
  - Extensions in curses-outputmode: added group-view-mode (key "G") to show
    items in download queue as groups, where one group represents all files 
    from the same nzb-file; the editing of queue works also in group-mode 
    (for all files in this group): pause/unpause/delete/move of groups; 
  - Other extensions in curses-outputmode: key "T" toggles timestamps in log;
    added output of statistical data: uptime, download-time, average session 
    download speed;
  - Edit-command accepts more than one ID or range of IDs.
    E.g: "nzbget -E P 2,6-10,33-39"; The switch "-I" is not used anymore;
  - Move-actions in Edit-command affect files in a smart order to guarantee 
    that the relative order of files in queue is not changed after the moving;
  - Extended syntax of edit-command to edit groups (pause/unpause/delete/move 
    of groups). E.g: "nzbget -E G P 2";
  - Added option "DaemonUserName" to set the user that the daemon (POSIX only) 
    normally runs at. This allows nzbget daemon to be launched in rc.local 
    (at boot), and download items as a specific user id; Thanks to Thierry 
    MERLE <merlum@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch;
  - Added option "UMask" to specify permissions for newly created files and dirs 
    (POSIX only);
  - Communication protocol used between server and client was revised to define 
    the byte order for transferred data. This allows hosts with different 
    endianness to communicate with each other;
  - Added options "CursesNzbName", "CursesGroup" and "CursesTime" to define
    initial state of curses-outputmode;
  - Added option "UpdateInterval" to adjust update interval for Frontend-output
    (useful in remote-mode to reduce network usage);
  - Added option "WriteBufferSize" to reduce disk-io (but it could slightly 
    increase memory usage and therefore disabled by default);
  - List-command prints additional statistical info: uptime, download-time,
    total amount of downloaded data and average session download speed;
  - The creation of necessary directories on program's start was extended 
    with automatic creation of all parent directories or error reporting 
    if it was not possible;
  - Printed messages are now translated to oem-codepage to correctly print 
    filenames with non-english characters (windows only);
  - Added remote-command "-V (--serverversion)" to print the server's version;
  - Added option "ThreadLimit" to prevent program from crash if it wants to 
    create too many threads (sometimes could occur in special cases);
  - Added options "NzbDirInterval" and "NzbDirFileAge" to adjust interval and
    delay by monitoring of incoming-directory for new nzb-files;
  - Fixed error on parsing of nzb-files containing percent and other special 
    characters in their names (bug appeared on windows only);
  - Reformated sample configuration file and changed default optionnames 
    from lowercase to MixedCase for better readability; 
  - Few bugs (seg faults) were fixed.

nzbget-0.3.0:
  - The download queue now contains newsgroup-files to be downloaded instead of 
    nzb-jobs. By adding a new job, the nzb-file is immediately parsed and each 
    newsgroup-file is added to download queue. Each file can therefore be 
    managed separately (paused, deleted or moved);
  - Current queue state is saved after every change (file is completed or the 
    queue is changed - entries paused, deleted or moved). The state is saved on
    disk using internal format, which allows fast loading on next program start
    (no need to parse xml-files again);
  - The remaining download-size is updated after every article is completed to
    indicate the correct remaining size and time for total files in queue;
  - Downloaded articles, which are saved in temp-directory, can be reused on
    next program start, if the file was not completed (option "continuepartial"
    in config-file); 
  - Along with uulib the program has internal decoder for yEnc-format. This
    decoder was necessary, because uulib is so slow, that it prevents using of
    the program on not so powerful systems like linux-routers (MIPSEL CPU 200
    MHz). The new decoder is very fast. It is controlled over option "decoder" 
    in config-file;
  - The decoder can be completely disabled. In this case all downloaded articles
    are saved in unaltered form and can be joined with an external program;
    UUDeview is one of them;
  - If download of article fails, the program attempts to download it again so
    many times, what the option "retries" in config-file says. This works even
    if no servers with level higher than "0" defined. After each retry the next
    server-level is used, if there are no more levels, the program switches to
    level "0" again. The pause between retries can be set with config-option
    "retryinterval";
  - If despite of a stated connection-timeout (it can be changed via
    config-option "connectiontimeout") connection hangs, the program tries to
    cancel the connection (after "terminatetimeout" seconds). If it doesn't
    work the download thread is killed and the article will be redownloaded in
    a new thread. This ensures, that there are no long-time hanging connections
    and all articles are downloaded, when a time to rejoin file comes;
  - Automatic par-checking and repairing. Only reuired par-files are downloaded.
    The program uses libpar2 and does not require any external tools. The big
    advantage of library is, that it allows to continue par-check after new
    par-blocks were downloaded. This were not possible with external 
    par2cmdline-tool;
  - There is a daemon-mode now (command-line switch "-D" (--daemon)). In this
    mode a lock-file (default location "/tmp/nzbget.lock", can be changed via
    option "lockfile") contains PID of daemon;
  - The format of configuration-file was changed from xml to more common
    text-format. It allows also using of variables like 
    "tempdir=${MAINDIR}/tmp";
  - Any option of config-file can be overwritten via command-line switch
    "-o" (--option). This includes also the definition of servers. 
    This means that the program can now be started without a configuration-file 
    at all (all required options must be passed via command-line);
  - The command-line switches were revised. The dedicated switches to change
    options in config-file were eliminated, since any option can now be changed
    via switch "-o" (--option);
  - If the name of configuration-file was not passed via command-line the
    program search it  in following locations: "~/.nzbget", "/etc/nzbget.conf", 
    "/usr/etc/nzbget.conf", "/usr/local/etc/nzbget.conf", 
    "/opt/etc/nzbget.conf";
  - The new command-line switch "-n" (--noconfigfile) prevents the loading of
    a config-file. All required config-options must be passed via command-line
    (switch "-o" (--option));
  - To start the program in server mode either "-s" (--server) or 
    "-D" (--daemon) switch must be used. If the program started without any
    parameters it prints help-screen. There is no a dedicated switch to start
    in a standalone mode. If switches "-s" and "-D" are omitted and none of
    client-request-switches used the standalone mode is default. This usage
    of switches is more common to programs like "wget". To add a file to 
    server's download queue use switch "-A" (--append) and a name of nzb-file
    as last command-line parameter;
  - There is a new switch "-Q" (--quit) to gracefully stop server. BTW the
    SIGKIL-signal is now handled appropriately, so "killall nzbget" is also OK,
    where "killall -9 nzbget" terminates server immediately (helpful if it
    hangs, but it shouldn't);
  - With new switch "-T" (--top) the file will be added to the top of download
    queue. Use it with switch "-A" (--append);
  - The download queue can be edited via switch "-E" (--edit). It is possible
    to pause, unpause, delete and move files in queue. The IDs of file(s)
    to be affected are passed via switch "-I" (fileid), either one ID or a 
    range in a form "IDForm-IDTo". This also means, that every file in queue
    have ID now;
  - The switch "-L" (--list) prints IDs of files consequently. It prints also
    name, size, percentage of completing and state (paused or not) of each file. 
    Plus summary info: number of files, total remaining size and size of
    paused files, server state (paused or running), number of threads on 
    server, current speed limit;
  - With new switch "-G" (--log) the last N lines printed to server's 
    screen-log, can be printed on client. The max number of lines which can
    be returned from servers depends on option "logbuffersize";
  - The redesigned Frontends (known as outputmodes "loggable", "colored" and
    "curses") can connect to (remote) server and behave as if you were running
    server-instance of program itself (command-line switch "-C" (--connect)). 
    The log-output updates constantly and even all control-functions in 
    ncurses-mode works: pause/unpause server, set download rate limit, edit of
    queue (pause/unpause, delete, move entries). The number of connected 
    clients is not limited. The "outputmode" on a client can be set
    independently from server. The client-mode is especially useful if the
    server runs as a daemon;
  - The writing to log-file can be disabled via option "createlog". 
    The location of log-file controls the option "log-file";
  - Switch "-p" (--printconfig) prints the name of configuration file being
    used and all option/value-pairs, taking into account all used 
    "-o" (--option) - switches;
  - The communication protocol between server and client was optimized to
    minimize the size of transferred data. Instead of fixing the size for
    Filenames in data-structures to 512 bytes only in fact used data
    are transferred;
  - Extensions in ncurses-outputmode: scrolling in queue-list works better, 
    navigation in queue with keys Up, Down, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End. 
    Keys to move entries are "U" (move up), "N" (move down), "T" (move to top),
    "B" (move to bottom). "P" to pause/unpause file. The size, percentage 
    of completing and state (paused or not) for every file is printed. 
    The header of queue shows number of total files, number of unpaused 
    files and size for all and unpaused files. Better using of screen estate
    space - no more empty lines and separate header for status (total seven
    lines gain). The messages are printed on several lines (if they not fill
    in one line) without trimming now;
  - configure.ac-file updated to work with recent versions of autoconf/automake. 
    There are new configure-options now: "--disable-uulib" to compile the 
    program without uulib; "--disable-ncurses" to disable ncurses-support 
    (eliminates necessity of ncurses-libs), useful on embedded systems with 
    little resources; "--disable-parcheck" to compile without par-check;
  - The algorithm for parsing of nzb-files now uses XMLReader instead of 
    DOM-Parser to minimize memory usage (no mor needs to build complete DOM-tree
    in memory). Thanks to Thierry MERLE <merlum@users.sourceforge.net> for 
    the patch;
  - The log-file contains now thread-ID for all entry-types and additionally 
    for debug-entries: filename, line number and function's name of source
    code, where the message was printed. Debug-messages can be disabled in 
    config-file (option "debugtarget") like other messages;
  - The program is now compatible with windows. Project file for MS Visual 
    C++ 2005 is included. Use "nzbget -install" and "nzbget -remove" to
    install/remove NZBGet-Service. Servers and clients can run on diferrent
    operating systems;
  - Improved compatibility with POSIX systems; Tested on:
	  - Linux Debian 3.1 on x86;
	  - Linux BusyBox with uClibc on MIPSEL;
	  - PC-BSD 1.4 (based on FreeBSD 6.2) on x86;
	  - Solaris 10 on x86;
  - Many memory-leaks and thread issues were fixed;
  - The program was thoroughly worked over. Almost every line of code was
    revised.
