RSSOwl 1.2.4

Posted on Tuesday, November 27 2007 @ 20:39 CET by

Applications that collect data from RSS-compliant sites are called RSS readers or "aggregators." RSSOwl is such an application. RSSOwl lets you gather, organize, update, and store information from any compliant source in a convenient, easy to use interface, save selected information in various formats for offline viewing and sharing, and much more. It's easy to configure, available in many many languages and the best of all: It's platform-independent.

New features:
  • Windows Vista: Thanks to the latest SWT 3.3, RSSOwl is now fully supporting Vistas look and feel.
  • Windows: You can now use Mozilla as embedded browser. This requires a recent version of XULRunner being installed. Refer to the FAQ for more details.
  • Windows: In order to scroll in a scrollable element (e.g. the headlines table or newstext browser) you no longer have to select the element first. Just move the mouse over the element and begin scrolling.
  • Mac: All System-Tray and notification features are now supported (see the "System Tray" preferences page).
  • Linux: Printing is now supported (requires GTK+ 2.10 or newer)
  • Linux and Solaris: You can now pass an argument to the run.sh to have it handled by RSSOwl (e.g. let firefox run rssowl to subscribe to a feed).
  • Added new translation into Romania (thanks to Claudiu Paiu)
  • Updated SWT to 3.3.1.1
    • Linux: The embedded browser is now able to navigate to https-secured websites and is able to render visited links.
    • Fixed an issue where Tooltips on Toolitems stopped showing after a while
    • Mac: It is now possible to copy / paste text in the embedded browser as well as using the mouse for drag-style operations (e.g. Google Maps)
Bugfixes:
  • #1610712 WinVista: Rights Elevation needed
  • #1043194 [MAC] Text selection in Browser not possible
  • #1043088 [MAC] Internal Browser not highlighting Links
