Yes! The long awaited 0.5.5 release is here!

We have been fixing bugs like mad, props to the people that pointed them out, you know who you are :)

Short list of the biggest fixes:

• Fixed a typo in the 'check version' code, breaking the check version feature :(
• Fixed bug where subscribing to certain newsgroups didn't work anymore after it 'broke' once
• Fixed a HTML escaping bug in the NZB generator, breaking the XML syntax
• Fixed bug in 'preview' feature where you got forwarded to a non-existing /tmp folder
• Fixed bug in telnet where a ^C would cause URDD to hang (DoS danger!)
• Fixed bug where unrar/unpar would wait until all downloads were finished
• Fixed bug in the 'file downloading' feature where the entire file was first stored in memory

And the new thing:

• Community based set info!
  

As an option, you can send and receive set info to/from the URD server. You'll have to have a
urdland.com forum account, which you need to enter into the configuration page. We need this
to block spammers or evildoers (see the Disclaimer page for privacy info).

The idea is to turn:

    Big Buck Bunny (HD) [01/59] - "Big_Buck_Bunny_HD.part01.rar" yEnc

into:

    Bick Buck Bunny (720p) English

Complete with links to IMDB, movie rating, file quality, etcetera.

So go ahead and try it out !
