Update Information:

Update to the latest bugfix release. This fixes the following bugs:  - When
connecting to servers, keep the results of all DNS lookups in a cache so
reconnecting can be done faster. This should also lower the possibility of the
error message 'No hostname could be found for servername x' from occuring  -
Automatically retry connecting to usenet servers when a connection error has
occured. This should fix a bug where the download queue could hang when the
network connection is unstable  - Very small files could get stuck in the
download queue. Fixed  - In a rare situation, the program could deadlock while
trying to remove a file from the download queue. Fixed  - Really disable
activating the automatic import on Mac OS X  - Don't use g_module_close() on
Win32/Win64 as it causes a crash when the program is shut down  - When a network
disconnect is discovered by the NetworkManager plugin, the download queue would
always get stopped, even when the download queue was inactive. Improved the
handling of this situation  - Don't wait for active decode actions to be
completed before applying configuration changes. This fixes a temporary hang or
a deadlock which could occur when changing something in the configuration while
a file is being decoded  - The download queue could get in an undefined state
when applying multiple configuration changes very quick after each other. Fixed
- When using collection names > 128 characters some error messages could pop up
while adding files or performing a PAR2 repair or an unpack. Fixed  - Renamed
the configuration option 'Estimated end time' to 'Estimated time remaining' to
avoid confusion. Fixes #31  - Added some more logging to improve the diagnosing
of incomplete downloads  - When a collection name contains the text '.par2', all
files get marked as par2 recovery files by par2cmdline. This resulted in the
automatic remove function to remove all files in the collection. Added a
workaround for this bug
