Release Notes: This release fixes a regression which occurred when the nzb filename was too long and the main window width was automatically increased, a scheduler plugin bug which did not pause items when requested if the download limit speed was set to "No Limit", and a bug which occurred when temporary files from a canceled nzb collection could not be removed if the nzb collection was previously downloaded.


Release Notes: A new plugin: automatic download retry. Disk I/O reduction: Yenc segments are now on-the-fly decoded once downloaded. "Download retry" now re-downloads only segments that are missing or corrupted. A shortcut towards bandwidth throttle configuration from the status bar. "Pause" status from the previous session is now kept. Icons next to the nzb file name now notify the current status of the file collection. Better consistency between Connections/Disconnection icons. Font color and style of labels in the sidebar has been changed. Fixes a compilation issue in KDE SC 4.8.


Release Notes: This release fixes a bug with pending download restoring at start-up that could be lost in certain situations. It fixes regression: downloads were not restarting automatically when the Internet connection was back again. It fixes a bug that caused the bouncing cursor to stop only after timeout. A checksum of the file that stores queued downloads is now performed to ensure data integrity. An issue with an incorrect value stored in kwootyrc that could lead to a crash at next kwooty start-up has been fixed. An issue in the yenc decoder that could consider correctly decoded files as corrupted with some yenc encoders has been fixed.
