With news readers like SABnzbd+, Unzbin, HelloNZB and NZB Vortez deploying frequent releases, the news reader landscape is becoming increasingly diverse. Just a few years ago, if someone asked for a good, free news reader, the answer was typically, "alt.binz or Grabit, of course!" Today, there's plenty of updated news readers to choose from regardless of your operating system.

Those on Windows, Mac or Linux can enjoy SABnzbd+ and its latest release. There's nothing too groundbreaking with this update, as the developers refer to it as a 'maintenance release'. But check out the latest notes since keeping any software updated is typically a good idea:

Changes
- Compensate for IPV6 issues of Chrome on OSX
- Changes in dirscan-speed are now immediately effective
- Reduce amount of logging
- Make sure access to sabnzbd.ini is blocked for group and world (Unix, OSX).

- On Windows, detect whether sqlite3.dll is missing. If so, panic and complain about lame virus scanner.
- Add hidden option "queue_complete_pers" to select non-persistence of non-script end-of-queue actions.
- Add hidden option "allow_64bit_tools" to allow or prevent use of 64bit par2 and unrar.

Bug fixes
- Support unpacking of rar-files embedded in zip-files
- Restrict square bracket substitution to server names
