Upgrading from 0.7.x and older

Finish queue
Stop SABnzbd
Install new version
Start SABnzbd

Upgrade notices (from pre-2.x.x)

Windows: When starting the Post-Processing script, the path to the job folder
is no longer in short-path notation but includes the full path. To support
long paths (>255), you might need to alter them to long-path notation (\?).
Schedule items are converted when upgrading to 2.x.x and will break when
reverted back to pre-2.x.x releases.
The organization of the download queue is different from 0.7.x releases.
So 2.x.x will not see the existing queue, but you can go to Status->Queue Repair
and "Repair" the old queue.

Published by Safihre over 7 years ago

Release Notes - SABnzbd 2.1.0

Changes since 2.0.1

Windows-only: Will now use MultiPar for verification and repair. MultiPar uses
the latest optimizations, multiple cores and can utilize the GPU, resulting in
repairs often being twice as fast. Created by Yutaka Sawada (Windows only)
"Extra Par2 Parameters" are also passed to MultiPar
For example: Set "/lc32" to enable GPU for repair (can also be slower!)
Minimal macOS version set to 10.9 (Mavericks)
Human readable history date/time default setting in Glitter (x hours ago, etc)
Post-processing script execution can be aborted
Removed Specials settings: never_repair, nr_decoders, prio_sort_list,
create_group_folder, enable_par_cleanup, enable_quickcheck, allow_64bit_tools

Bugfixes

File join would fail incorrectly
Catch and show 'Disk full' messages from PAR2/MultiPar

sabnzbd - SABnzbd 2.0.0

Published by Safihre over 7 years ago

Release Notes - SABnzbd 2.0.0

New in 2.0.0: SABYenc

To improve SABnzbd's performance on systems where CPU power is limiting
download speed, we developed a new C-module called SABYenc to accelerate the
decoding of usenet articles that can use multiple threads and is more efficient.
Not only low-powered systems like NAS's or Raspberry Pi's benefit, with this
new module speeds can increase up to 2x compared to 1.x.x releases on any
system where the connection/newsserver capacity was not fully used.
The Windows and macOS releases automatically include this module, for other
platforms an installation guide can be found here: https://sabnzbd.org/sabyenc

Changes/improvements in 2.0.0:

Windows and macOS releases now also come in 64bit versions.
The installers will install the appropriate version automatically.
Therefore, on 64bit Windows the installation directory will change to
'Program Files' instead of 'Program Files (x86)'.
On Windows our tests showed an additional 5-10% gain in download speed
when using 64bit SABnzbd on 64bit Windows.
Linux: Detect if Multicore Par2 is installed.
Multicore Par2 is now easily available through the PPA and other channels:
https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/multicore-par2
Post-processing scripts now get additional job information via SAB environment
variables. https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/scripts/post-processing-scripts
Certificate Validation set to 'Strict' for newly added newsservers
The insecure Certificate Verification level 'Default' is now called 'Minimal'.
In case of problems, see: https://sabnzbd.org/certificate-errors
Removed Secondary Web Interface option.

Smaller changes/improvements in 2.0.0

Schedule items can now be enabled and disabled
HTTP-redirects in interface are now relative URL's
Moved some lesser used settings to Config->Specials
Cache usage is now updated continuously in the Status Window
On macOS SABnzbd was set to have low IO-priority, this is now set to normal
Previously set password is now shown on Retry
Remove listquote module dependency
Warn if Complete folder is on FAT filesystem (4GB size limit)

Bug fixes in 2.0.0

Malformed articles could break the Downloader
Unexpected characters in CRC part of an article could crash the Decoder
Retry ADMIN-data saving 3x before giving error
Checking for encryption during downloading could fail
QuickCheck could crash when renaming already renamed files
skip_dashboard set to 1 by default in fullstatus API-call
Top-only switch now really only downloads top job
Unblock Server button did not work
par2cmdline would fail to repair jobs with split posts (.001, etc)
Fixed QuickCheck renaming issues
Show warning if job is paused because it appears cloaked
Linux: Warn in case encoding is not set to UTF-8
Windows: Incomplete folders would sometimes end in a dot

Upgrade notices

Windows: When starting the Post-Processing script, the path to the job folder
is no longer in short-path notation but includes the full path. To support
long paths (>255), you might need to alter them to long-path notation (\?).
Schedule items are converted when upgrading to 2.x.x and will break when

Cache usage is now updated continuously in the Status Window
On macOS SABnzbd was set to have low IO-priority, this is now set to normal
Previously set password is now shown on Retry
Remove listquote module dependency
Warn if Complete folder is on FAT filesystem (4GB size limit)

Bug fixes in 2.0.0

Malformed articles could break the Downloader
Retry ADMIN-data saving 3x before giving error
Checking for encryption during downloading could fail
QuickCheck could crash when renaming already renamed files
skip_dashboard set to 1 by default in fullstatus API-call
Top-only switch now really only downloads top job
Unblock Server button did not work
Linux: Warn in case encoding is not set to UTF-8
Windows: Incomplete folders would sometimes end in a dot

Upgrade notices

Windows: When starting the Post-Processing script, the path to the job folder
is no longer in short-path notation but includes the full path. To support
long paths (>255), you might need to alter them to long-path notation (\?).
Schedule items are converted when upgrading to 2.x.x and will break when
reverted back to pre-2.x.x releases.
The organization of the download queue is different from 0.7.x releases.
So 2.x.x will not see the existing queue, but you can go to Status->QueueRepair
and "Repair" the old queue.

Upgrading from 0.7.x and older

sabnzbd - SABnzbd 2.0.0RC2

Published by Safihre over 7 years ago

Release Notes - SABnzbd 2.0.0 RC 2

Bug fixes since RC 1

SABYenc updated to version 2.8.0 due to failure to decode some articles
If SABYenc was missing it could result in crashes
Checking for encryption during downloading could fail
QuickCheck could crash when renaming already renamed files
skip_dashboard set to 1 by default in fullstatus API-call

Changes since Beta 1

API changes: history and queue calls now only contain History/Queue
information. All other information can still be found in fullstatus.
qstatus is now identical to queue call.
get_files now reports unique nzf_id for each file.
Windows: improved Windows installer, now detects if service is running
and will remove the correct previous installation.

Bug fixes since Beta 1

Fix crashing Downloader when Quota were set
Top-only switch now really only downloads top job
Fix broken webserver HTTPS for extra bound ports (e.g. IPv6)
Remove listquote module dependency
Starting with "-w" parameter would fail
Previously set password shown on Retry
Unblock Server button did not work
Warn if Complete folder is on FAT filesystem (4GB size limit)
Deleting a downloading job could produce write errors
Windows: Incomplete folders would sometimes end in a dot
Linux: Detect Multicore Par2 more generally

Changes since Alpha 1

Windows and macOS releases now also come in 64bit versions.
The installers will install the appropriate version automatically.
Therefore, on 64bit Windows the installation directory will change to
'Program Files' instead of 'Program Files (x86)'.
On Windows our tests showed an additional 5-10% gain in download speed
when using 64bit SABnzbd on 64bit Windows.
Linux: Detect if Multicore Par2 is installed.
Multicore Par2 is now easily available through the PPA and other channels:
https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/multicore-par2

Bug fixes since Alpha 1

Not all servers with same priority were tried
Unzip on Windows was not working
Unrar on Windows could hang
Restarting SABnzbd sometimes failed
Reported 'Unknown encoding' warnings for some downloads
Error on renaming a job in Plush
Always show Queue search box when multi-editing
SABnzbd password not displayed in plain text in the Config

New in 2.0.0: SABYenc

To improve SABnzbd's performance on systems where CPU power is limiting
download speed, we developed a new C-module called SABYenc to accelerate the
decoding of usenet articles. Depending on the hardware, download speed can
greatly increase.
The Windows and macOS releases automatically include this module, for other
platforms you can read more on: https://sabnzbd.org/sabyenc
If you experience issues, please report them on our Forums!
The module is not mandatory, the _yenc module will continue to work and
its performance will be similar.

What's new in 2.0.0

Post-processing scripts now get additional job information via SAB_*
environment variables - See: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/issues/785
Certificate Validation set to Strict for newly added newsservers
Schedule items can now be enabled and disabled
Remove Secondary Web Interface option
HTTP-redirects in interface are now relative URL's
Moved some lesser used settings to Config->Specials
Cache usage is now updated continuously in the Status Window
On macOS SABnzbd was set to have low IO-priority, this is now set to normal
