See NetNewsWire plans on inessential.com for more about what’s coming up in NetNewsWire.
Changes in 3.1.7b7 (since 3.1.7b4) - 27 August 2008
- Fixed a bug where opening the preferences window could cause NetNewsWire to ask for your FTP syncing password, even though you don't use FTP syncing. I think. (I couldn't get it to happen on my machine, so I'm flying a little blind. Fix makes sense, though.)
- Removed microformats feature. I was going to wait till 3.2, but decided to do it now. (Less code, fewer resources, better performance loading HTML.)
- Updated French localization.
Changes in 3.1.7b4 (since 3.1.7b2) - 19 August 2008
Startup crash
Fixed one particular cause of a startup crash.
Proxies
Fixed one possible cause of a compatibility issue with some proxies.
Clippings chiclet color
The clippings count color is now the same as the unread count color. (Matches what other apps do in this case.)
Feature for Wolf
Wolf needed an AppleScript command to evaluate JavaScript for the current web page. Done. (Wolf had actually sent me updated script dictionary files and an Objective-C implementation. Easy to just drop it in and make it work!)
Changes in 3.1.7b2 (since 3.1.7b1) - 28 June 2008
Proxy change reversed
A change in 3.1.7b1 that prevented NetNewsWire from working with some proxy servers was reversed.
Changes in 3.1.7b1 (since 3.1.6) - 24 June 2008
Performance
For people who have Growl installed, NetNewsWire will use less resources during feed refreshes. This was accomplished by removing the per-news-item Growl notifications. (You still have per-feed and per-session notifications.)
Proxy mis-configuration
Works around a connection error caused by a certain type of proxy misconfiguration.
