BottomFeeder 3.3 is out. If you have 3.2, you'll have to grab the new runtime - here are the install steps:
  1. delete all files in the 'app' directory
  2. delete all files in the 'plugins' directory
  3. 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!
