FeedDemon 1.0 RC2 Release Notes
October 26, 2003
Additions, Changes and Fixes
Additions
- "Manage Styles" and "Get New Styles" items added to Style dropdown menu
- Added "Check for New Version" to the main Help menu
- Support for
xhtml:body
Ctrl+K added as shortcut for Keyboard Shortcuts dialog
Changes
-
FeedDemon's preview styles now use the file extension
.fdxsl instead of .xsl and are now
stored in the user's local "Application Data" folder instead of in a subdirectory of the FeedDemon folder
-
When a UI language is chosen in FeedDemon's options, the new language is now applied immediately instead
of after clicking the OK or Apply buttons
-
"New Channel" now always enables adding the new channel to a group other than the current one
-
Several performance improvements were made through additional caching of channel information in memory. This may mean that
FeedDemon will require slightly more memory than it did in earlier builds.
Fixes
- Access violation when using keyboard shortcuts to quickly switch between groups while an update is pending
- Access violation when closing FeedDemon while an update is pending
- FeedDemon locks up with feeds containing incomplete encoded HTML (ex:
<object...)
- "Copy to news bin" submenu shows ampersands in news bin titles as menu accelerators
- Tray icon isn't reset after changing active channel group
-
If a news item's
<link> contains &, FeedDemon may incorrectly consider it a new,
unread item even when it has already been downloaded and read
- FeedDemon's XML parser trips up on elements that use a combination of double- and single-quoted attributes
- Tray icon incorrectly shows new items were downloaded after updating a single channel
- Pressing
Delete in the Channel Properties numeric entries doesn't enable OK button
- News item grouping uses GMT dates rather than local dates
- Typo in group OPML (
xmnls instead of xmlns)
- Auto-discovery picks up feedvalidator.org URLs
- "Manage Groups" fails to copy a channel's <link>
