Agent News Bulletin
03-June-2002Agent 1.92 goes to BetaWe expect the beta period for 1.92 to last at least 2 weeks. We apologize for missing our original May target. Larger DatabaseThe tremendous response for the Usenet encoding algorithm, yEnc, has led to more downloads and the need for larger archive storage. With 1.92, Agent's database can grow up to 4 times larger, depending on the operating system. In specific, the limit for each .DAT file is 8gb instead of 2gb. Agent maintains one .DAT file per group or folder. Better Handling of Multi-Part BinariesAs part of our continuing effort to eliminate the need to manually join multi-part binaries, we've addressed all the major issues related to multi-part binaries and the myriad of posting programs. In 1.92, Agent is much more flexible and forgiving in the way it processes multi-part headers. We'd like to thank the Agent Community for helping us round up these issues. New Version of Free AgentLast, but not least, we've combined Free Agent and Agent into a single program. When you download Agent, you can operate it as trialware for 30 days. After the trial period, you can either:
In either case, you won't need to worry about upgrading the program or the database until we release a new version. Free Agent 1.92 was a significant undertaking that greatly simplifies our lives. At last, we can give our undivided attention to Agent 2.0. Regards, The Forté Team |
