It’s been a year since NZBGet.com and version 22 were launched. This project is a continuation of the original NZBGet, formerly maintained by hugbug, who dedicated years to its development. The goal has been to pick up where NZBGet was left off once it was abandoned, maintaining the tool’s efficiency and speed while continuing to support the Usenet community.

In the past year, several updates have been made:

Expanded Platform Support and Installation Options

We’ve expanded platform support and distribution/installation options, including:

• Windows: Winget and Chocolatey support.
• Linux: DEB and RPM packages with repository integration, and support for the Linux riscv64 architecture.
• macOS: Universal installer for Apple Silicon and Homebrew support.
• Docker: Official images for armv7, arm64, and amd64.

Extension Management

The extension system has been improved, with better error handling and performance updates. Several existing extensions have been adapted, and new ones have been added.

• Adapted Extensions: VideoSort, FakeDetector, FailureLink, EMail, Logger, ExtendedUnrar, PasswordDetector, EasySort, NotifyPlex, Completion, SpeedControl.
• New Extensions: NotifySickChill and NotifyEmbyJellyfin.

The list of supported extensions will continue to grow. If you haven’t you can see what is in motion or make a request on the NZBGet GitHub.

Performance and Stability Improvements

Numerous bugs have been resolved, including critical fixes for file corruption and buffer overflow issues. The transition to CMake for build processes has improved cross-platform development efficiency, replacing other platform-dependent tools.

Community Involvement: Join the Discussion on Discord

To improve communication and gather input from the community, a Discord server has been created. With more contributors now on board but limited time and resources, it’s important to know what features matter most to users. Feedback through Discord will help prioritize the next steps.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed. The project continues to evolve, and community input will guide its progress.
