RSSOwl | RSS / RDF / Atom Newsreader freeware - The Latest Versions History

Version Date Released Status Release Notes
1.2.4 Nov 26, 2007 Major Update The RSSOwl Team is happy to announce that RSSOwl 1.2.4 is now available for download. Among minor new features and a couple of bugfixes, this release comes with better support for Windows Vista, the ability to use Mozilla as embedded Browser on Windows and some improvements to the embedded Browser on Mac OS X. See the changelog for a complete list of changes.

For a detailed list of changes that also include a lot of bugfixes, take a look at the changelog at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt.

If you want to benefit from many new cool features, you should give RSSOwl 2 a try. Its currently in beta stadium but already fully functional. Visit http://boreal.rssowl.org for more details.

May the Owl be with you,
Ben
1.2.3 Nov 26, 2006 Major Update The RSSOwl development team is happy to announce the new version 1.2.3 of RSSOwl.

You can now subscribe to feeds with RSSOwl by passing the url of the feed as argument to the
executing launcher (e.g. rssowl.exe on windows). This works very well with the new Firefox 2
where RSSOwl will be visible in the list of newsreaders to select when opening a feed in Firefox.
In case you are already subscribed to the feed, it will display its content.

We continued to improve the security from the embedded browser on windows by disabling JavaScript
when displaying the contents of a news. As soon as the Browser is navigating to a real website,
JavaScript is being enabled again (based on your Internet Explorer settings ). This change is protecting
RSSOwl from malicious JavaScript coming from a Feed so we highly recommend to update to the latest RSSOwl.

Information about news that are marked as read is now persisted at a certain interval while the
application is running. This should finally fix the issue where this information got lost on an
unclean shutdown.

The SWT library was updated to the most recent Version 3.2.1.

For a detailed list of changes that also include a lot of bugfixes, take a look at the changelog at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt.

1.2.2 Aug 27, 2006 Major Update The RSSOwl development team is happy to announce a fresh new version of RSSOwl.
After four months of work, version 1.2.2 is now available for download. This
version comes with some enhancements, a lot of bugfixes and improved security
from the embedded browser on windows.

The integrated Feed-Validator was removed due to lacking support for RDF and Atom
formats. The new Validator allows to enter the URL of the Newsfeed and will forward
to the well-known W3C Feed-Validator that supports all major formats and namespaces.

On Windows, the security of the embedded Browser was improved by making use of the
Local Machine Zone Lockdown which forces local content to operate in the more secure
Internet Zone.

The Feed-Search is now recognizing a lot more results as valid Feeds with fixing a Bug
in the URL-processing. Special thanks to Milan Simonovic for reporting this issue.

Settings are now backup'ed and restored in case a previous shutdown failed to store
them correctly. This should fix issues, where all settings were lost.

The SWT library was updated to the most recent Version 3.2.

Thanks to Vardan Movsisyan for providing a translation to Armenian.

1.2.1 Apr 23, 2006 Major Update The RSSOwl development team is happy to announce a fresh new version of RSSOwl.
After five months of work, version 1.2.1 is now available for download. The version number
might sound minor, but the changes are totally major!

On the usability side it is now possible to reorder Tabs in the Tabfolder via Drag and Drop
and opening the next unread Message is working, even if no Feed is displayed at all. Based
on the current selected Favorite, RSSOwl is automatically opening the next Favorite from
there that contains unread News. With this feature it is possible to have the Favorites-Tree
closed all the time to save some space, while still being able to navigate to the next unread News.

A new command "Open" was added to the contextual menu on a Category in the Favorites Tree. It
will open all Favorites that are a direct children of the Category into seperate Tabs in the
Tabfolder.

Annoyed by RSSOwl forgetting about which Favorites have unread News after restart? This was
finally fixed. Any Favorite with unread News will keep this information also between a restart.

RSSOwl is now using the native colors of the platform it is running on and supports the standard
themes on windows as well. These colors make RSSOwl better fit into the look and feel of the
running operating system.

A lot of work went into the Mac version of RSSOwl, which is now shipped as universal binary, supporting
both PowerPC and Intel. Some improvements include using the application menu for "About" and "Preferences",
support for the "Toggle Toolbar" Button top-right in the application window and a special flat look
that make RSSOwl look more like a native Mac application. Thanks to Andre Weinand for giving helping
hands here.

Thanks to Vlado Jasan and Neven Zitek for providing translations to Slovak and Croatian.

The License of RSSOwl was changed to the Eclipse Public License (EPL). The license is available online
at http://www.rssowl.org/legal/epl-v10.html and also bundled with the release.

For a detailed list of changes that also include a lot of bugfixes, take a look at the changelog
at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt.

May the Owl be with you,
Ben
