qstatus will be deprecated in sabnzbd 3.0.0

Hi

regarding the following Plugins:

• plugins/sabnzbd/sabnzbd_speed
• plugins/sabnzbd/sabnzbd_dataleft

After updating to sabnzbd 3.0.0 Alpha1 I get Warnings about "qstatus" will be deprecated in upcoming version 3.0:
2020-05-11 19:30:04,684::DEBUG::[interface:444] API-call from XXX.YYY.ZZZ.AAA [Munin_GetXML_sabnzbd_speed libwww-perl/6.43] {'mode': 'qstatus', 'output': 'xml', 'apikey': '********************'}
2020-05-11 19:30:04,684::WARNING::[api:149] The API-method 'qstatus' is deprecated and will be removed in the final version of 3.0.0.

I think the function will be completely removed, details can be found here: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/api

It would be nice to switch the plugin to the "normal" status function.

Thanks and best regards!

Just checked the two plugins and replaced
"my $URL = $HOST."/sabnzbd/api?mode=qstatus&output=xml&apikey=".$API;"
with
"my $URL = $HOST."/sabnzbd/api?mode=queue&output=xml&apikey=".$API;"

And it look good... no more warnings and the graphs looking also good... should be a small fix ;-)

Thanks and best regards!

Thanks for providing the necessary code change!

Would this change break compatibility with older versions of sabnzbd? It would be nice, if the plugins worked for both older and newer ones (but it is not strictly necessary, if hard to achieve).

Hi, for me it looks like that the "queue" parameter exists in versions older than 2.0.0, because in the API description there are changes from older version to 2.0.0 described: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/api#queue
But this is just a assumption, I du not exactly know what was in the SABnzbd API in older versions...

Thank you for verifying the compatibility.
