Version 6.90 Release Candidate 5 Build 5485, November 19, 2021
NOTE: Will not run on XP, Vista, or 32 bit machines.
- Fixed issue where when the data folder in the NBI is missing the trailing slash, the folder used was one level up.
- Fixed issue where download descriptions and poster were not sorting.
- Changed watch lists to obey "Display Age".
- AutoPAR now scans files and adds proper extensions based on file type when the extension is missing.
- AutoPAR now looks in the subject for rename topic when downloading obfuscated posts.
- Now supports NZB files that contain three way encoded content. Now will RAR/ZIP then RAR again.
- Fixed a password problem with quickpar master splitter (QPMS) 7zip files which need passwords.
- Fixed issue where default pause during decode to wouldn't pause during decode.
- Made changes to ensure samples don't get mixed in when doing forced compaction when loading NZBs.
- Now puts filepath validator in Remote NZB Decode Path to handle case where a partial path is provided.
- Now uses NZB Download folder for NZB's if no specific decode folder is set.
- Fixed issue where some PAR only sets linger in the download list even when they finish downloading.
- When the final PAR downloads, now sends a notification to unpause more pars to catch PAR files that may not have been associated with this file. Move the set to failed if the unrar didn't complete.
- You can't use the root path of a drive for downloading.
- Added support for new NZB Formats which didn't compact and resulted in some left over PAR files.
- Made modifications to pathing so hopefully it is more intuitive.
- Made change to handle if no decode path is set, Newsbin will set the decode path to the download path.
- Removed "Cat tv;" from the NZB filename stored in the download db for Sonarr files. It interfered with obfuscation rename function.
- Made changes so the largest media files from Sonarr is stored in the succeeded list. Sonarr uses this list to pick up downloaded files.
- Fixed issue where the default unrar path configured in sonarr options is bad
- Sonarr uses category to ID which NZB's belong to it. Implemented new mechanism for storing as old one was not reliable.
- Fixed issue posting files to Usenet

Known Issues:
