The nzb Project

This release focuses on portability. Settings can now be stored in an nzb.ini file in the program directory, meaning nzb can be used without installing it on the system and configuring it, and it doesn’t have any external dependencies.

SSL support has also been added which is very useful in mobile situations where the network may not be trusted and your credentials should be protected by encrypting the traffic. To utilize the SSL support you need to have a Usenet provider that supports SSL, like Giganews.

As the next release seems to be talking longer than expected, I’m releasing 0.1.4 to address the uudecoder problem which should have been done months ago. This release also includes a few other fixes.

The uuencoding decoder in 0.1.3 has a faulty check that renders it useless. The lack of a check in the output module in combination with the bad decoded data results in a segmentation fault everytime a uuencoded file is decoded.

A fixed version has been committed to CVS.

This version contains a few new features and bug fixes. The next release will have a focus on changing the file list so that it can support several new features like queue editing and download/decode status.

I released nzb 0.1 today. This version works under Linux and Windows and comes with a Windows installer. Debian packages are available as usual. Known bugs: plenty

Download nzb.

I’m thinking of dropping the different modules in favour of one single nzb binary. This binary would provide both console and graphical UIs and libnzb would be dropped all together. nzb would be Qt (4) based and completely platform independent. I will probably begin this process when Qt4 enters Debian/Unstable. If anyone feels this is a bad direction please state your concerns before I break it.
