FeedDemon 1.0 RC1 Release Notes

Additions

• When adding a new channel by selecting an auto-discovery item or clicking a link to a newsfeed, the "New Channel" wizard now enables adding a channel to a group other than the current one.
• Double-clicking a browser tab closes it
• When a channel group is being updated, the "Update channel group" toolbutton changes to a cancel button.
• Clicking an expandable group row in the news item grid now shows a newspaper containing that row's news items.
• "Hide channel bar when browser is maximized" added to Browsing page in FeedDemon's options.

Changes

• "Manage Groups" now uses Ctrl rather than Shift to copy a channel
• Due to the number of feeds that "double encode" news item titles (ex: using " rather than simply "), FeedDemon now "double decodes" titles before displaying them.
• "Welcome Wizard" includes language selection when shown at startup. Note that this pre-release only installs the English language files.

Fixes

• Access violation at startup when run from a computer in the GMT time zone
• Spacebar navigation fails in watches and newsbins
• When adding a channel from an existing OPML directory, clicking "Back" on the final step of the Add Channel dialog goes to the wrong step.
• Newspaper cuts off newer items rather than older items when max number of items has been displayed
• Newspapers may be sorted incorrectly if the current locale uses a character other than a period as the decimal separator.
• Access violation after deleting a channel which is still updating
• System tray icon resets to "normal" with every update, even if it should still reflect that news items were downloaded during the previous update.
• "Group Update Frequency" dialog defaults to a minimum of five hours with most groups
• If Windows is shut down while FeedDemon is running, additions/changes to watches and newsbins aren't saved

• There is currently no help available for FeedDemon

• 300MHz PC running Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP or 2003
