Release Notes - SABnzbd 5.2.0 Beta 2

This is the second test release of version 5.2.0.
We are still working on several other features, but hope you will already enjoy
the current improvements and give us feedback!

New features in 5.2.0

Downloaded data will be written directly to disk (if your hardware supports it),
which greatly reduces memory and CPU usage on systems with SSD's.
Additionally, several other performance improvements were made.
Search your Indexers and add downloads directly from within SABnzbd.
Post-Processing, Pre-Queue and Notification Scripts no longer receive
command-line arguments. Use the SAB_* environment variables instead.
This prevents an attacker easy access to remote code execution.
Download directories can no longer be inside the program directory.
This is also to prevent an attacker easy access to remote code execution.
Changed the internal webserver from CherryPy to Starlette.
Overview of Active Sessions is available when username and password are enabled.
Only allow proxied requests from hosts configured in xff_trusted_hosts.
Removed the scriptlog link from the script_log history field.
Remove unused fields completeness, meta, series, id, and
script_log from history-API response.
Cache Public IPv4 address for 10 minutes to prevent abuse.
