Release Notes - SABnzbd 5.0.1

In this fifth major release of SABnzbd, we included:

• A significant number of bug fixes and platform updates.

Bug fixes in 5.0.1

• Queued downloads from older versions did not load after updating.

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.
