Release notes 

While one’s been working mostly on the upcoming LottaNZB 0.6, we spent some time fixing a few remaining bugs and giving translators the time to update the translations. We’ve never had more complete translations of LottaNZB! Thanks everyone who’s contributed to it. Also, an objective was to prepare the LottaNZB 0.5 series for the upload to Debian and Ubuntu.

An important change is that the proprietary unrar application used to extract completed archives isn’t automatically installed anymore together with LottaNZB. For those who are interested, we made this change to prevent the LottaNZB package from being moved to the “contrib” repository in Debian and “multiverse” repository in Ubuntu. However, installing unrar is as easy as clicking a link and LottaNZB 0.5.2 will display a useful hint if the application cannot be found.

This version of LottaNZB also works around a bug in HellaNZB that causes post-processing of certain downloads to stop. Marcel did a great job locating the bug in the HellaNZB’s code and providing a true fix that has already been uploaded to Debian.

In Ubuntu 9.10, all application toolbars are now more compact, which saves space on the screen. We made sure that LottaNZB will also look great on Ubuntu 9.10.

Changelog 

View the full changelog

- Display a useful message if 'unrar', the program used to extract completed downloads, cannot be found.
- Work around a HellaNZB bug that causes the post-processing of a download to stall if the NZB file contains an NZB file of the same name. (LP: #381318)
- In Ubuntu 9.10, labels of toolbar buttons are displayed to the right of their icon, but only if the button is marked as important. This is why some of LottaNZB's toolbar buttons, the important ones and those whose purpose isn't obvious, had to be marked as well.
- Fix a bug that caused LottaNZB to crash on startup on FreeBSD systems. (LP: #434199, thanks to Zach for reporting this)
- LottaNZB requires Python 2.5 or newer.
- Updated translations.
