NZBivo 0.7.0 Final released!
11-Jun-08
I have pushed out a final version of NZBivo. I think its pretty keen, and seems to work quite well for me so far. There are a few issues, such as shows like Law & Order: Criminal Intent (specifically due to the "&"), but that mostly has to do with it being posted differently to different places.
As a reminder, if you need to put an & in your .shows file, you will need to use the equivalent for it, which is &, so for instance:
Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
There are not a lot of changes from Beta 4, except that I have changed the messages in the log file to try to make them more clear, and I added the offSetUnits item in the config file, which I forgot in beta4, oops 
Enjoy!

Giganews, Inc., the world’s largest premium Usenet service provider, is now offering support for custom usernames for their new and existing members. Support for this new feature is an attempt by Giganews to improve their members’ user experience.
New Giganews members will now have the option to create their own custom username when they sign up for a Giganews account. For existing members, the process is just as easy.
Existing Giganews members need only sign into their Giganews control panel and select the “Change Username” link on the panel’s homepage. There the current member will enter their desired username and click “Change Username”. An existing member’s newly changed username will be in effect about 15 minutes after they have submitted it for change.
“Giganews is a company made up of Internet users. Each and every one of our employees understands how difficult it can be to remember all the usernames a person must keep track of for various websites and services. By allowing our members to create custom usernames, we’re trying to improve the user experience in a way that we ourselves appreciate as members of the Usenet community,” commented David Vogelpohl, VP of Marketing and Sales at Giganews.
This new feature comes as a result of requests by Giganews members seeking an easier way to remember their username.

NZBivo 0.7.0 BETA 4 released!
03-Jun-08
Hey all. I have decided to release a *beta* of the new nzbivo. This release doesn’t necessarily add a ton of features, but it should make everything work just a bit better. There are a couple of new dependencies, Date::Manip and Config::Auto. You should be able to install the from CPAN pretty easily.
As promised, I have created a seperate configuration file, called nzbivo.config, because you shouldn’t have to reconfigure every time I feel like pushing out a new release. Secondly, I have added some basic spam checking to the nzbindex.nl checks. It seems to do a pretty good job for me. Basically, it compares when the files were posted based on the pubDate element, and if that is earlier than the next airtime of the show, minus a configurable offset of hours, then it skips it and logs it.
I also changed the way we do nzbindex searches to make it a bit more robust. It now searches with spaces instead of dots to make use of their build in boolean AND. In my testing it seems to be better about returning stuff this way.
Finally, I changed the way we do date comparisons and time conversions. This should make us much more international friendly. Instead of doing all the time calculations myself, I now use Date::Manip. This is nice because we convert everything to UTC right off the bat, and it deals with making sure days, months, years, leap days, etc are all sorted out properly. It also gives us built-in functions for doing time comparisons, so overall it is much cleaner.
If you feel like giving it a try, it should be available on the download page. I am going to try to sort out any remaining issues as quickly as I can and get the final release pushed out. But if you come across any issues, please feel free to contact me to let me know. (0 comments)
