NOTE: Builds are listed from latest to earliest.
Build 1.47
- Task Bar Icon.
- Added Ctrl-A (Select All) to Feeds Search Box.
- Added Time to Logging.
- Added additional option to "If RSS Feed Contains Both .Torrent AND Magnets" to for "Any Match". This fixes a bug where an .RSS may contain a .Magnet, but if it is set to .Torrent it will ignore it.
- Added a secondary search box so that primary search results can be filtered even further.
Build 1.46
- Added more support to stop table index corruption if RSSToolBot is forced closed (Like the asshattery that is Windows 10 Updates).
- Added Season, Episode, To-Episode, Year, and FilterHash to the History screen. This will help to narrow down filters.
- Re-wrote Episode Title Find to make sure strings were filtered correctly (ANSI vs OEM issues).

- Fixed TaskBar Mode : Now it's just a toggle on or off, and if Explorer crashes, TaskBar Icon returns correctly.

Build 1.45
- Corrected internal Website - it now points correctly to RSSTOOLBOT.com.
- Corrected color on all DB Navigation Points.

- Removed "Torrents" with "Download all Queued Torrents" as it was no longer needed.
- Added a delay timer to Feeds and Queues for "Download All" - Set this in preferences. Some torrent sites will block you if you attempt to pull 20 torrents at the same. Some torrent apps will also not be able to handle 20+ magnets at the same time.
- Added more trimming of multiple empty spaces to feed titles to make it easier for searching.
- Exposed Expressions with the ability to add, edit or refresh expressions.

Build 1.43
- Completely rewrote routines for scanning for ENCLOSURE and cleanup tags.
- Added %MONTH%, %YEAR%, %DAY% to Feed List. Add +1-5 (plus) or -1-5 (minus) to days. You can now add these to search every day for shows that use the YEAR DAY MONTH format (like 2016 02 01 and talk shows).
- Added ability to press Delete/DEL in History to delete a single item.
- Added scanning to Enclosure for HTTP, HTTPS and MAGNET.
- Added an error message if the RSS feed downloaded does not contain any proper XML tags (Sometimes Torrent sites lead to ads or captchas).
- Added an error message if the .Torrent downloaded is not a proper formatted Torrent File (ie: leads to some jackass site full of advertising).
- Added an additional regExpressions for Talk Shows based on formats 2017X123 and 2017 06 01 and 06-01-2017.
- Added "M" or "T" enclosure type to Queue, Feeds and History to distinguish between Torrents and Magnets. The .Torrents can be downloaded while Magnets can be sent directly to a Torrent Application.
- Reformatted Perferences so that .Torrent files can be either downloaded OR sent to a Torrent Application outside of Magnets.
- Added option to save either .Torrent or Magnet if both exist in the RSS feed.
- Removed Web Scraping for now. Not sure I'll ever put this back in.
- Filters - Clicking "New" now properly adds the TorrentFilterAdd Preference.

Build 1.0.41.0 thru 1.0.42
- Changed Build # around to more reflect Major/Minor build.
- Internal build only, coding and testing.
Build 1.0.0.40
Build 1.0.0.39
Build 1.0.0.38
Build 1.0.0.37
- Added a new function to strip the ENCLOSURE tag on RSS feeds for bad formatting.
Build 1.0.0.37
- Added a new function to strip the ENCLOSURE tag on RSS feeds for bad formatting.
- Disabled Page scraping for KICKASS since the website is gone.
Build 1.0.0.36:
- Added Torrent Website Scraping - RSSToolBot now has the ability to manually scrape torrent websites for search terms and aggregate the torrents. Kickass was first and works perfectly.
- Added extra error handling to .RSS feeds for websites that use the "Guid" as the Torrent Enclosure. The Enclosure Tag should contain the .Torrent link but many websites decide to use the Guid, which goes against the specification.
- Added validation on the GUID/ENCLOSURE tag to make sure it contains a valid HTTP or HTTPS link, if not it logs the error.
- Added extra logging to the .RSS line item for better debugging.
- Minor changes to match the new showRSS upgrade.
Build 1.0.0.35:
Build 1.0.0.34:
Build 1.0.0.33:
- Bug Fix: Download failures were not being properly logged.
- Added new Menu Item link for "Run All Feeds Now" and "Download All Queued Torrents Now".
- Added far better sorting capabilities for title, date, category and feed - it is now much easier to find what you are looking for when you have over 8k RSS Title Links.
- Continued work on Expression Set Editor.
- More logging and HTTPS support.
Build 1.0.0.32:
- Logging extended: Logging has been extended to a new logging screen that shows what is going on under the hood during operations and is limited to 10k lines. This is a work in progress and more will be added, cleaned up as time goes on.
- Added StopOnRSSGetFailure as a Setting. If there are any errors in attempting to pull an RSS HTTP/HTTPS request, if set to TRUE, it will abort any further attempts. Prior on some sites like Kickass - if the site was down, the request could take 10 minutes before timing out.
- Added Extensive error trapping on all HTTP and HTTPS requests.
- Bug Fix: Filters right-click delete is now working.
- Added a Re-Process RSS Feeds settings parameter. If checked, RSSToolBot will re-process Filters against .RSS torrent feeds even if they already exist in the .Torrent Feed List. This makes it easier to pull a feed, create a filter and then re-run the feed for matching.
- Removed "Location of Local Files" from Filters. This location field was a misnomer. It was only used to find local media and add it to your history file.
- Increased the size of the Settings Preference form.
- Adjusted Filters page text/edits for better formatting.
- Added documentation via Menu > Help > Help Documentation. Because it's still a work in progress it'll pull it down from RSSToolBot.com.
Build 1.0.0.31:
- Added Torrent Settings for Filter Matching - Automatically download to Queue or Immediately Download.
- Rearranged the Settings area making it easier to read and use.
- Fixed an issue where comments inside of Site Feeds were not being ignored both # and //
- Fixed a wonky issue where sites were being run more than once? No idea what was going on there.
- BUG FIX: Settings Parameters increased in size to 255 characters, they were truncating at 40.
- Added a Setting to start RSSToolBot in TaskBar/Minimized mode.
- BUG FIX: The INIReadString is stripping quotes off the Torrent Application Parameters. Fixed.
- Added a %SD for "Save Directory" to the Settings .Torrent Parameters. This is used in conjuction with Filters - a "Save Directory" was added there as well. This will allow you to pass the Enclosure as well as the Save Directory to a Torrent Application.
- First attempt at timeout issues: I use URLDownloadToFile() to bring files down either .RSS or .Torrent files. I'm not wrapping the functionality in any kind of timeout wrappers, just checking to see if there is an error. I have it set now so that if the result at any time <> S_OK then it abandons all hope and terminates the thread. Issue is that if you use feeds with MULTI sites within a single feed, it'll abort if the top one doesn't work. The top URL you have may be diff than the next one down the line. Not an elegant solution at this point. This is a work in progress.
Build 1.0.0.30:
- Changed Torrent search box.
- Torrent History now has a View and Browse button for downloaded Torrents.

- Download to Queue or Download Immediately are now fully working.

- Torrents marked for "Download Immediately" are now tested - if the process fails in any way the Torrent is placed in the Queue with a DL Error Status. This way you won't miss failed downloads and can try them again later.

- Added a Toolbox to Feeds allowing deleting all torrents, inactivating/activating (hiding) them.
