CHANGELOG
1.3 (In progress)


CHANGES:
App switched to a Pivot design utilizing a Application Bar instead of a Panorama design. This makes the application much more responsive.
Clicking on page headers no longer refreshes the page content. Instead, you can just use the refresh button on the Application Bar for this purpose.

1.2

NEW FEATURES

Newzbin support added. Users can search newzbin from the main page, and click on a result to view more information.
Search page renamed to nzbmatrix.
server deletion will now prompt you to make sure you wish to delete the server.
NZBMatrix and Newzbin configuration moved to a seperate page under the header "Configure Download Providers"
Configuration buttons moved to a more 'logical' location.
Sab Watch will now check to see if SabNZBd reported an Invalid or Missing API key.
Sab Watch will now check for results of connecting to a server much more frequently on the first refresh/connection to server.
This will prevent the 'lag' that may occur when recently connecting.
Added the time a download took into the History Detail View.
The current script of a queue item can be changed in the Queue Detail View.

BUGFIXES:

Fixed a possibly unwanted effect of preventing server status updates while in a new page (such as a NZBMatrix results page)

NOTES:
Forgot to mention that Clicking on the Queue or History headers forces the page to query SabNZBd for more an update.


Possible future features:
Scraping sickbeard to get Airing Episiodes
'Live tile' support


Screenshots:

Sab Watch is now live! I'm finishing up Newzbin detailed results/comments now, and there should be an update by December. You can check it out here:

Sab Watch 1.3 has been submitted to the Marketplace. There was a weird goof/bug/something that happened in the 1.2 submission that caused the app to be renamed to 'sab watch (app)'.

I have been talking to support, and they advised me that it would be fixed if I submit a new app with the 'Sab Watch' name. If it doesn't fix it, ill just submit the app updates to both versions.

Anyway, since 1.3 is considered a 'new' application, it goes through a more strenuous testing than if it was an update; therefore it might take a couple more days. Expect it by 12/9.

VERSION 1.3

NEW FEATURES

Entire App switched to Pivot/AppBar design. Makes performance on the main page better as it isn't always trying to display every list at once.

Added ability to set Pause Timer for SabNZBd server.

'Status' page renamed to extra. Still not quite sure what to do with it yet, as seems like less important information than anything else. Would appreciate suggestions.

Removed config page. This has been replaced by options on the Application Bar.

You may now set a custom amount of items to display for the Queue, History, and Newzbin Results. This will persist throughout application launches.

You may now set a custom refresh rate for the application. This will persist throughout application launches.

When entering the list of servers with no servers defined, you will now get prompted on how to begin adding your first server.

Clicking on a Warnings on the Detailed Server Information page shows the actual warnings received.

Trying to change the NZBMatrix category should be a little easier to bring up the category selector list. In addition, the selector list should load a little faster.

Added Turnstile transitions to pages.

You can now pick from a list of times to pause the server if you wish. This will make it much easier in most situations. Selectable times are 0 (off), 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 3 hours. You can still enter a number instead if you wish.

BUGFIXES


Certain Help dialogs contained outdated information from old versions, this is corrected and updated now.
Fixed numerous misspellings of the word occurred.

Fixed a bug where if the user left out their port on the server setup page, the port would be changed to 80, and then tell the user 80 is not a valid number.

Fixed some text placement inconsistencies on the Newzbin detailed post page.
Sab Watch now properly urlencodes search queries. I haven't observed any changes in search results, but YMMV.
Category on queue page should now stay at the line below the rest. This should prevent the 'jumpy' behavior you might have experienced, where as soon as it could fit on the previous line, it moved.
Made error messages that show when you attempt to use NZBMatrix or Newzbin without entering login information actually state that there is no information saved.

NOTES
Newzbin only supports 500 results returned. Any number higher than 500 will still return, at max, 500.

Setting the amount of items to display higher not only causes the application to lag while displaying them, but also uses considerably more data downloading the results, and CPU time to format the results. Keep the display amount reasonable to see good performance.

Here's an look at the upcoming Sab Watch 1.4, Which will feature RSS feeds of NZBMatrix, and possibly Newzbin. You can browse the categories in the same way as you can when select a search category.
