This version fixes a potential security issue with the log4net version used. (improbable to affect previous versions due to what is used of log4net)

Additionally a new message obfuscation method is available.

To enable this add a new setting to your folder configuration:

# Use a random usenet message subject instead of the filename
# this extra obfuscation method makes it harder to reconstruct a message from usenet posts
# but might introduce issues with less advanced downloaders that check the message headers instead of the yenc headers.
UseRandomMessageSubjects=yes

The default value of this setting is no so the new method will only be used when you enable this setting.

What this new obfuscation method does:

For NZB's it seems the message subject does not matter at all, only the yenc header is looked at by the downloader. This setting makes it so all posted messages have a completely nonsensical subject. Only the nzb downloader with the nzb can reassemble the files.

It is possible downloaders other than sabnzbd and nzbget encounter issues with these nzbs, be aware of this possibility.
