Posted on Friday, November 04 2005 @ 21:12 CET by LSDsmurf

Changelog:
  • Added: Find Feeds - online keyword search for new feeds

Note, however, that the dialog may appear when synchronization occurs before specific actions (such as deleting a synchronized folder or manually updating feeds) (37848)
  • Added: The feed reports now include two new Attention reports, which are similar to the "Most/Least Visited" reports except that feed ranking is determined by several criteria other than simply feed clicks.
  • Added: More information added to "Statistics" page in feed properties dialog
  • Added: "Export Last Report to OPML" added to Tools | Feed Reports menu
  • Added: "Prince" newspaper style now has "Add to news bin" icon

  • Added: Improved OPML export based on tests with the OPML Validator beta
  • Added: "Manage Subscriptions" now enables selecting multiple folders for deletion (39702)
  • Changed: FeedDemon now downloads your NewsGator Online subscriptions at startup before upating, and if any changes are found it asks whether to apply them to FeedDemon. Note that the following changes are detected:
    • Deleted feeds
    • Renamed feeds
    • Moved feeds
    • Deleted folders
    • Renamed folders
  • This feature may be disabled by clicking the "Synchronization" button in FeedDemon's options and disabling the "Check for subscription changes at startup" option.
  • Changed: Converting a synched folder to a private one now always removes the folder from NewsGator Online
  • Changed: The "Feed Defaults" button has been removed from options now that feed defaults are defined at the folder level
  • Changed: Properties set at the folder level are now inherited by feeds that are later added to that folder. Note, however, the folder properties defined prior to this release will not be inherited, so you may need to redefine the folder properties. (38473)
  • Changed: When "Create News Bin" is selected from the "Copy to News Bin" menu item, the selected post (or URL) is automatically added to the new news bin
  • Changed: Simplified the news item context menu by moving several actions to a "Send To" submenu
  • Changed: Newspaper styles now use special "fdaction:" protocol for downloading enclosures - this won't impact end users, but it may impact third-party newspaper styles
