This release features a completely rewritten backend codebase and a huge number of minor UI improvements and bug fixes. Downloads can be reordered both using the "move" toolbar buttons and by simply dragging&dropping them, which makes managing downloads really easy.

Changelog 

View the full changelog

- New backend code, which is much more flexible than the old one, allowing us
  to add new features with less effort and to provide a more responsive user
  interface.
- The information bar both shows the total progress and the progress of the
  active download.
- UI improvements all-over the application: For example, buttons are disabled
  whenever the user is not allowed to click on it and if they have no effect.
- Python 2.4 support. Thanks to Majestic for reporting this. (LP: #200949)
- Changing the maximum download speed instantly takes effect after hitting the
  save button.
- Downloads can be reordered using drag 'n drop.
- LottaNZB doesn't crash anymore if HellaNZB is shut down unexpectedly.
  Instead, a tiny reconnect dialog is shown. (LP: #198055)
- Support for news servers that don't require authentication. This feature
  didn't work in 0.1 actually.
- Documentation, documentation! LottaNZB now ships with detailed help
  information in English, French, Danish, German and Dutch, which can be viewed
  from within LottaNZB using GNOME's help application.
- New toolbar button, which opens the download directory in the file manager.
- In the first-run assistant, a hint is displayed, which helps the user to
  choose an usage mode.
- Danish and Spanish translation added. Kudos to Kim Tholstorf and Miguel
  Latorre GarcĂ­a for their great contribution!
- Lots of bug fixes!
