ChangeLog:

* 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

Description:

NZBGet is a binary newsgrabber, which downloads files from usenet based on information given in nzb-files. NZBGet can be used in standalone and in server/client modes. In standalone mode you pass a nzb-file as parameter in command-line, NZBGet downloads listed files and then exits.

In server/client mode NZBGet runs as server in background. Then you use client to send requests to server. The sample requests are: download nzb-file, list files in queue, etc.

Standalone-tool, server and client are all contained in only one executable file “nzbget”. The mode in which the program works depends on command-line parameters passed to the program.
