Version 6.50 Beta 3 Available...

Postby dexter » Sat Apr 13, 2013 9:56 am

Beta 3 has a bunch of cosmetic changes and some bug fixes from prior betas.

Short summary:
  • Fixed issue where deleted files weren't getting sent to the Recycle Bin
  • Fixed the duplicate detection mechanism
  • Fixed Growl and Email notifications
  • The Menu Bar options now change depending on what window has focus so you only see relevant options
  • Improvements to how Regular Expressions work for watch lists
The download link and more details about this release are available on the Newsbin Beta Page.

Please direct any questions or bug reports as a reply to this thread or through our Technical Support Form.

I knew I needed to wait before jumping on this one blindly. :)

Working fine here. With so little clear data, and not continuing to run the beta release, we'll never know I guess.

All of the useful (to me at least) commands have been removed from customize menubar. :( :shock: :? :cry: 'Select all', "Download", "Download bypass filters", "Delete Posts", "Delete Posts from author"(forget the exact name) and "Clear List" are all gone. This is a HUGE HUGE HUGE step backwards. One thing I loved with Version 6 was the configurable menu bar, but it is now useless. Please. please, please, PLEASE, PPPPLLLLEEEEAAAAAASSSSSE bring the old commands back for it!!!!!!!!!

I doubt if it is deliberate. Probably an unintended side-effect of some other change.

When loading B3 I get the following error :

[12:07:53] InterSocket ERROR Error: SSL Negotiation Failed, Host: www.newsbin.com Error: SSL Connection Failed: 6 Error 0 The operation completed successfully.

B2 was working fine.

Thanks for your constant support of what's easily the best newsreader available.

Someone claimed that files with "(00/NN)" in the subject were stalling the download list. I'm not seeing it here but, I'm looking into it.

I don't see any evidence that the Growl notifications have been fixed. When entering a Growl server address and password, reports that server is registered, but settings are not retained and no notifications occur.

Yeah, just fixed it. You can hand edit the NBI file with the proper values till B4 is up.
