In this fifth major release of SABnzbd, we included:

  • Smarter (and potentially faster) downloads with NNTP Pipelining and Direct Write.
  • Reliability gains from a reworked cache and safer processing.
  • A significant number of bug fixes and platform updates.

Features and bug fixes in 5.0.1, 5.0.2 and 5.0.3

  • Fetching NZB's failed on new installations.
  • Queue entries from older versions now load correctly after upgrading.
  • nzo_id now uses GUIDs to prevent duplicates.
  • Updating to 5.0 now succeeds even when duplicate nzo_id values exist.
  • URL fetching no longer crashes when duplicate jobs are present.
  • Default RSS priority is now applied correctly.
  • Duplicate filenames no longer cause queue stalls.
  • IPv6 binding now works correctly for the Web interface.
  • The On queue finish action now executes reliably.
  • Saving the post-processing queue no longer throws errors.
  • Directory creation now handles existing directories gracefully.
  • Windows and macOS: Updated Unrar to 7.21 and 7zip to 26.01.

New features in 5.0.0

  • Added support for NNTP Pipelining which eliminates idle waiting between
    requests, significantly improving speeds on high-latency connections.
    Read more here: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/nntp-pipelining
    New servers will have Articles per request set to 2 by default.
    Existing servers need to be manually changed to use NNTP Pipelining.
  • Implemented Direct Write to optimize assembly of downloaded files.
    Read more here: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/direct-write
  • Post-processing scripts will always be executed, even for failed jobs.
    Make sure to check the status of the job in your scripts!
  • Removed Special setting empty_postproc as it is no longer needed.
  • Complete redesign of article cache.
  • Improved disk speed measurement in Status window.
  • Reduced delays between jobs during post-processing.
  • Improved handling of disks getting full.
  • Diskspace check will now include Category-specific folders.

    par2cmdline-turbo to 1.4 and 7zip to 26.00.

Bug fixes in 5.0.0

  • Check before download could get stuck or fail to reject.
  • Several stability changes for the core download process.
  • If only par2 files were missing, jobs could get incorrectly aborted.
  • No error was shown in case NZB upload failed.
  • Correct mobile layout if Full Width is enabled.
  • Handle passwords that exceed Unrar's password limit.
  • Aborted Direct Unpack could result in no files being unpacked.
  • Encrypted RAR detection could sometimes fail.
  • Unwanted extension check was unreliable on passworded downloads.
