Build #581
• If BB is about to authenticate twice during the same connection, it will stop and log an error.
• Additional logging added to internet code.

• Download connections increased to 32. Due to the limited space available for progress bars, the Progress tab has been removed and percentages are displayed on the queue instead. The Go button is now on the toolbar.
• Properly decodes files posted by Unison. Unison 1.7 posted in an invalid format that required special handling that later caused problems with 1.8 files. Now files from both versions should decode.
• Files can be deleted from the queue even during a download.
• A mesagebox no longer pops up when the help file is opened.

Build #568

• Clicking the Stop button or closing Binary Boy during a refresh merges the new headers instead of discarding them.

Build #541
• The XML parser was too strict when parsing processing instructions. Fixed.

Build #540
• Order ids dated after Nov 2005 weren't recognized. They've now been added.

Build #539
• The Binary Boy 1.9x project now uses a lot more of the 2.0 code. On the surface this won't change much, but it should be easier to add new features to both versions at the same time.
• The upgrade files now require a reg key or an order id to activate. If you don't have your order id, retrieve it here.
• Displays number of requested headers on Log tab when refreshing.
• The queue total size in build 450 was wrong for large values. Fixed.

Build #466
• Either a news server or a firewall is adding empty lines in uudecoded posts, causing truncated files. Binary Boy will ignore these empty lines and create complete files.

Build #463
• You can now pass an NZB filename on the command-line and Binary Boy will open an empty search session, load the NZB file and start downloading. This also means you can now associate NZB files with Binary Boy.
• Fixed the "posiition" typo in an XML error message.

Build #450
• Queue is slightly more efficient under heavy loads.

Build #410
• A space character between the headers and the first line of encoded data would cause Binary Boy to stop decoding a file. Fixed.

Build #408

• Alt-Shift-S searches without refreshing.

Build #161
• If the delete button in the viewer fails, it now logs an error nummber in errorlog.txt.

Build #155
• The low memory check might be returning inaccurate values on pre-XP OSes so it will now ignore the value on those OSes.
