We have also dropped the need for /sabnzbd/ in the urls you use to access sabn zbd. It'll still work with /sabnzbd/, but it will also work without it now. * New XML Parser - Results in lower memory usage when reading .nzb files, especi ally large ones. * File Quick-Check - We can now skip par2 verification altogether in some cases by performing a quick-check of file hashes before post-processing. * New Quick-Start Wizard - If you don't have any servers set, you'll get a neat little five-page wizard allowing you to change all the config settings you really nee d to worry about. Stuff like "How should SABnzbd be accessible? Remotely or locally?" and "What' s your server address", in a step by step manner. Features a button on the server page to test the con nection to the news server, to make sure you have entered your details correctly. * Revamped Config System - The configuration backend was overhauled in 0.5.

Many of the config pages have been changed around to make more sense, you can now easily enable/disable servers, and in general all server interacti on is much faster than before. * E-mail Templates - The e-mail system from 0.4.x has been updated to have a ful l template system, allowing you to customize e-mail alerts. * File Association - .nzb files are now associated with SABnzbd, so you can just double click them to load the file into your queue. Currently only Windows is fully supported, h owever you can launch SABnzbd with arguments containing a path, or multiple paths to local nzb/rar/zip files. * .TS Filejoining - File joining has been improved to allow support for joining multiple .TS files into one file. * Date Sorting - To compliment series sorting, sorting has now been added for do wnloads with dates in their names, allowing you to place files in daily, monthly, yearly folders with proper nami ng * General Sorting - Sorting for general downloads allows users to expand the ser ies sorting into other types of downloads. Has support for years in titles allowing files to be placed in folders depending on the decade. The API: * Totally overhauled for 0.5. Basically, you now have full access to near everyt hing about SABnzbd via POST and XML/JSON. See the full docs for more details. Why does th is matter? It means if you know any programming language and understand how to parse XML/ JSON and POST data to an URI, then you can write some application which can communicate with SABnzbd almost as easily as a template can. The Queue & History: * Per-Item Pause - Now, in addition to being able to pause the whole queue, you can also pause individual items in the queue. You can also force downloads to start while the whole queue is paused. * Priorities - The queue now has four priorities, Normal, High, Low and force. Think of this as an easy method to move things around your queue, or to insert things into specific areas of your queue. One use case is to set everything to "normal" by default, so it works like 0.4.x. However, you can then add a new post or RSS feed as hi gh-priority to have it be inserted to the top of the queue, or add one as low-priority to have it insert ed at the bottom of the queue and keep below normal downloads that are added. Forced items will go straight to the top of the queue, and will continue to download even if the queue is paused. * New History Backend - The history is now stored in a database, so we can handl e larger histories better, and store more information about downloads. Skins: * General Template Changes - Templates have all been updated to support all the neat new features. So if you're one of those guys still married to Default, don't worry about mis sing out on all this new stuff. * Plush - Complete backend rewrite to work almost exclusively off the API [so it 's MUCH faster], and a reorganized (and more accessible!) main menu.

* SMPL - Has been reworked to be much faster and friendlier to use. The default page now shows the top 5 items from the queue and history. The queue and history are also now pages to stop loading a massive number of i tems. Bugfixes: * Sure!
