WebChangeMonitor allows you to monitor multiple webpages tracking changes based on webpage content.

WebChangeMonitor permits you to monitor several protocols, including HTTP and HTTPS. It also lets you view and record any webpage content differences. It is essentially a hybrid RSS reader with some options not offered by strictly a reader like displaying the GUID for the webpage, for instance.

Dear all,

release 23.06 will update core libraries and is compiled using a newer compiler (GCC version 13). This switch was necessary to support several C++20 (and later) functions. These changes might result in an improved performance but are expected to be "under the hood" mostly. Certainly, a few bugs have been addressed and fixed as well as feature requests have been addressed. Also, if you use the "Limit sequential checks to broken hosts" option, you can enforce/resume checks manually now.

Changelog

    Bugfixes and changes since 4.0.2:

    Direct Unpack could get stuck.
    Sorters could not be modified.
    Season Sorting did not respect desired capitalization.
    Crashes could occur in the Downloader on timeouts.
    Prevent extra job directory in case of folder-only Sorting.
    UUencoded articles could fail to decode.
    Windows: Windows Service would fail to start on legacy release.

    Breaking change in 4.0.1:

    The Parameters setting of a Notification Script is now passed as environment variable SAB_NOTIFICATION_PARAMETERS instead of as a command-line parameter. This prevents the possibility of remote code execution on systems exposed to the internet without a username/password. If you use nzb-notify you need to update it to the latest version.

    Bugfixes and changes since 4.0.1:

    Disabling a server during download did not stop it from downloading.
    Show last line of post-processing script output even if it failed.
    Prevent crash during Deobfuscate on non-unique paths.
    Files that could not be parsed were removed from the Watched Folder.
    Warn if the file system does not support unicode or long filenames.
    Warn if Scripts Folder is inside the application directory.
    Prevent output buffering of Python post-processing scripts.
    The PKG-INFO file was removed from the src release.
    Correctly decode partially malformed UUencoded posts.
    macOS: Tray icon could not be disabled.

    Changes since 3.7.2:

    In this major update we optimized a core part of the SSL handling.
    This results in large performance increase when downloading from news servers with SSL enabled. In addition, the general connection handling was improved, resulting in performance improvements for all news servers.
    Special thanks to: mnightingale, puzzledsab and animetosho!
    There are multiple settings that can tweak performance, see: 2474
    When adding a new news server, SSL is enabled by default.
    File assembly performance significantly improved by relying on the CRC32 instead of the MD5 to perform QuickCheck of files.
    Slow down more gracefully when the cache fills up.
    Replaced separate Series/Movie/Date Sorting with general Sorter.
    HTTPS files are included in the Backup.
    Improved Watched Folder scanning and processing.
    Ignore resource fork files created by macOS.
    Deobfuscate final filenames is enabled for new installations.
    Dropped support for Python 3.7.

    Bugfixes since 3.7.2:

    Restore applying History Retention setting at startup.
    Windows: Not all invalid characters were removed from filenames.
    Windows: Firewall rules were not removed by uninstaller.

    Upgrade notices:

    The download statistics file totals10.sab is updated in 3.2.x version. If you downgrade to 3.1.x or lower, detailed download statistics will be lost.

Dear all,

besides other new features, release 23.07 will bring full proxy support (including user name and password) which was limited previously. Based on user reports, some feature requests like allowing to specify DNS servers have been implemented. Logging to HTML files (content-/ping-log) is now threaded to avoid UI freezes in case the logging files get large, which may happen when logging with high frequency and not limiting the log entries in the HTML log file. However, it is always recommended to rotate HTML log files such that they don't grow infinitely. Once again, core libraries have been updated to address security fixes.

Dear all,

release 23.08 concentrates on requested features like saving table settings, word wrap in dialog filed with long texts and improving RegEx options. Furthermore, some re-factoring has been done to prepare WCM for upcoming new functions and make it more flexible. Finally, the log dialog has been re-vamped to make it more intuitive and less cluttered in general. As usual, core libraries have been updated to address security fixes.

Dear all,

release 23.10 brings updates to the main core library (wxWidgets) and others, namely cURL, PugiXML, JSONCons. This is to keep up to date with latest fixes, security issues and new functions. Additionally, help and hints as well as debugging options have been improved. Also a few UI glitches have been addressed. Two new macros can be used to identify the host WCM is running on (e.g to be used in email reporting).

Changelog

    Added:

    Added new "Discover feeds" dialog which is automatically opened when user hits "Add new feed" button. In this dialog, use does not have to input exact feed address but can enter just regular website address and RSS Guard will try to discover all available feeds possible. (#1134)
    ATOM/RSS/JSON/Sitemap feeds now automatically use "ETag" HTTP headers which has potential speedup when fetching feeds with no new messages. This can bring 10-80 % speedup if user uses more feeds which do support "ETag". (#1136)
    Support for Sitemap "sitemap.xml" files is added! Vast majority of websites have sitemaps and RSS Guard now can read them in the same way it does with RSS/ATOM formats. "Discover feeds" dialog has Sitemaps support integrated and it even is able to traverse sitemap indexes. GZipped sitemaps are supported too. (#1129)
    Added multiple/extended selection to feeds list! Now it is possible to select multiple items at once (feeds, categories, etc.) and perform batch actions on them - batch editing, deleting, marking read/unread, re-sorting - when some feeds are selected it is now in "Edit selected items" dialog possible to batch change only some properties in a very clean and universal way. (#1010, #89)
    Localizations updated.
    Documentation updated.
    Arguments parsing is now totally overhauled. It is now possible to use both double and single quotes to quote arguments. Read "Scraping Websites" chapter in docs to know more.
    Local files can now be used directly as sources for feeds, just select "Local file" in add/edit feed dialog.

    Fixed:

    Fixed OPML import/export when some feeds use custom script as source. (#1133)
    RSS/ATOM parsing is now greatly enhanced.
