                                SABnzbd+ v0.3.0

*************************************
*** This is SABnzbd+ 0.3.0 Final. ***
*************************************

Read carefully. Major changes from previous releases.
New users, also read the file INSTALL.txt

There is an extensive Wiki on the use of SABnzbd+ on sf.net:
http://sabnzbdplus.wiki.sourceforge.net/


*******************************
*** Where are my downloads? ***
*******************************
Windows:
    SABnzbd will create a folder in "My Documents", called "Downloads".
Unix/Linux/OSX:
    SABnzbd will create a folder in $HOME, called "Downloads".
This folder contains the folders "incomplete" and "complete".
"complete" will contain the end result of the downloads.
(You may change this in the configuration screens.)


**************************************
*** Upgrading from 0.2.5 and 0.2.7 ***
**************************************
If you want, you can copy your existing sabnzbd.ini file to the new program dir.
This way you keep all your settings.

If you have an unfinished download queue, finish it first with 0.2.5/0.2.7.
This release cannot re-use the queue!

If you have existing RSS jobs, you may want to save the file rss.sab.
Delete all in the cache directory, EXCEPT rss.sab


*********************
*** Windows Vista ***
*********************
SABnzbd is Vista compatible.
However, you cannot use it in combination with the ZoneAlarm firewall software.


*************************************************
*** Changes to --daemon mode and Win32 binary ***
*************************************************
-d or --daemon will now ignore any user profile data.
This means that the sabnzbd.ini file must either in the program directory
where SABnzbd.py or SABnzbd.exe is or that the -f option must be used.

For the Win32-binary, the black console windows disappears immediately.
For troubleshooting, you can use the --console paramater.
Open a command prompt and type:
   SABnzbd.exe --console
