Software update: Usenet Explorer 4.8

Version 4.8 of Usenet Explorer has been released. With this program files from usenet can be downloaded. Usenet Explorer is characterized by low processor and memory usage, and very extensive options, which may make it less suitable for novice users. The changelog for version 4.8 looks like this:

Usenet Explorer 4.8

• Unrar password history option has been added in the Set unrar password dialog. The history can be selectively or entirely deleted in “Edit menu->Delete history”. If the option is unchecked the dialog won’t store the entered password. In addition when the password has been already entered previously for the unpack task (indicated with asterisk) it will be shown in the dialog; if there was no prior password and the history is enabled the most recent password from the history will be suggested.
• Support for blacklisted posters in search service views: added options in the context menu “Blacklist selected posters” like in newsgroup views and “Hide blacklisted posters” (in search service views blacklisted posters can always be shown). In “Edit menu->Properties->Search/Import, Blacklisted posters” the combo box has been added to define the initial setting.
• Added separate read timeout setting for the search service requests “Edit menu->Properties->Tasks->Sockets/Network, Timeout, Read (Search)”.
• Eliminated last search request delay after search service configuration has been changed on the server side.
• A rare input has been reported when some parts with message-ids generated in certain way were mistakenly considered as duplicates resulting in incompletes. Prior releases were recomplied as well to fix the problem, as a result the number of published prior releases was greatly reduced. The issue was client side specific and didn’t affect the search service database completeness.
