BottomFeeder 3.3 is out . If you have 3.2, you'll have to grab the new runtime - here are the install steps:
delete all files in the 'app' directory
delete all files in the 'plugins' directory
replace bottomFeeder.im and bottomFeeder (nonWindows) or bottomFeeder.exe (Windows)
Here's a summary of what's new:
Upgraded BottomFeeder to the VisualWorks 7.2 runtime. Users must download the new runtime.
Initial Startup time has been greatly speeded up
A complete overhaul of the posting tool. Thanks to Michael Lucas-Smith for all of his work and suggestions!
How many items to cache can be set on a per-feed level now
Feeds can be set to auto-browse individually, as opposed to the global setting
Fixed a number of bugs and limitations in the feed auto-discovery module
Improved the update tool
Added two new feed builders - one for the Headline news service, one for the Yahoo news service
On Windows, we now have better support for Unicode character display
Added Support for Atom 0.3 syndication format
Added support for the wfw comments module - Bf now follows per item comment feeds, inlining the comments (as per the includedComments support)
Improved the Http package's handling of cookies
Added a 'Flag for followup' property to items. Items may be marked as being flagged, and all flagged items can be viewed as a group
Feeds may be marked as active or inactive (inactive feeds will not be checked for updates)
Some minor UI layout tweaks in the main UI
See the Help About box for all the people who helped make this release possible. Thanks!
