BottomFeeder 3.5 arriving soon
BottomFeeder 3.5 is about to ship - I've got the most recent build available on the download page now (under dev links). The doc is being wrapped up, but other than that, I think it's about ready to go. What's new?
- Made the various view states more consistent - i.e., staying in the tree view if the user wants that
- When a folder is selected, the item view now shows all items in all feeds in that folder - appropriate to the view (all new, flagged, for instance)
- Made the application international aware - all strings exported out as User Messages
- The HTML view has been greatly enhanced, thanks to Holger!
- Better display of HTML
- Faster Image display on Windows
- Keyboard navigation (arrows, pageup/down, space bar)
- Added digest authentication - private LiveJournal feeds are now accessible
- The new A9 (Amazon) search engine is an option under searches
- Added BlogDigger as a feed builder (similar to Feedster support)
- Added support for the NewsTrove site's RSS search builder
- Added an option to adjust font scales specifically in the browser pane
- Added cross feed GUID resolution. If items in multiple feeds share a guid, then changing the state of one changes the state of all (read/unread)
- Added a 'View Related' view - If other items you've downloaded refer to the selected item, you can expand the view to show the related items
- Added a Minesweeper implementation as a plugin
- Greatly enhanced the handling of character set encoding. This results in more accurate display of items
- Added an option that allows users to change the encoding of items if they "look wrong" (happens if the encoding specified is not actually the one used)
- Added a setting allowing users to stop items being marked new when only new comments have arrived
- When loading a new page into the browser pane, the HTTP query is done in the background, and is cancelled if the item selection is changed.
- Added a spellchecker (Windows, Linux, Unix) to the blog poster, the comment tool, and the IRC plugin (TypeLess)
Coming shortly!
