Feedreader 3

Just to let you know. We are introducing Feedreader Anywhere on our new site.

Just to let everybody (who does not follow our company news) know - we released Feedreader 3.14 yesterday :). More information from here.

We have gotten quite a lot of requests for faster update interval during these years. Be it then for tracking stocks news where actuality and speed of information is really important. Or be it tracking of embedded systems that output feeds with their status.
 
Till this time we have always replied that this is not possible because of architecture of Feedreader. But during last weeks we have studied the situation again a little bit based on the request of Danny :) and good news is that WE NOW HAVE SUPPORT FOR FASTER UPDATE INTERVALS.
 

We are happy to release next beta release of Feedreader 3.14. It's following to the Beta2 what was released here.
 
Changes and additions that are changed since beta1:
 

Translation files now support latest User interface features

Some little (and old) bugs fixed

One cool and quite specific feature that we are not yet announcing :).

Edit: "Smartfeed not saved" bug is fixed!

 
Download
 
Please download beta from here (zip from here).
 

Finally we have made available updated translation file that can be used for updating localized language files.
 
All translations who are interested in updating their translations can take feedreader.exe and translation_en.xml, save feedreader.exe over old 3.14 beta feedreader.exe and save translation_en.xml to localizations folder. After this you can edit your local language file by adding new strings from the end of translation_en.xml to localized translation file and translate strings that are between tags.
 
If you find some items in Feedreader that are not translated then just let us know by adding comments in this thread.

We are happy to release next beta release of Feedreader 3.14. It's following to the Beta1 what was released here.
 
Changes and additions that are changed since beta1:
 

Offline support added
 
We have added basic offline support. It's good if you are going somewhere where you have a lot of time and no internet at all ;). A summer cottage, bus or plane is an example although at least in Estonia we have wifi even in intercity buses ;). You can also use this feature if you have slow internet connection because you can let Feedreader to preload all articles.
 
This feature turned out pretty cool. We did not want to over-engineer it and tried to keep it simple. Basically we save remote web pages (those webpages that are linked from articles title) to database. By default we do not save any images to make things run fast and smoothly. If you want to try out saving articles with images then add downloadwebpagestocache=1 to feedreader.ini. But I warn you that it may not be that smooth experience.
 
There are two ways of saving articles to database. One way is to select File > Offline > Work offline
 

I guess there have been a lot of thoughts about if project is dead or not. Of course it's not dead. It's just that we are currently working more with commercial customers. Last year we received 200 USD as Paypal donations. Unfortunately this is not enough to do active development. But good news is that we still fix the bugs and add new features then doing commercial development. And this leads us to next announcement :).
 
We are proud to announce Feedreader 3.14 beta. It's mostly bugfix release.
 
Changes and additions:

Twitter is quite popular these days. Here is a tutorial how to search twitter continuously for topics you are interested in.

Basically all you have to do is to save twitter.osrc that we have provided here to opensearch folder under Feedreader folder and then restart Feedreader. This works with Feedreader 3.13 and newer.

Just wanted to let you know that we have made available next developer builds of Feedreader 3.13 for standard and MySQL databases.
 
New version contain bug fixes. No new features have been added then compared to last developer version.
 

• Feedreader 3.13 Installer
• Feedreader 3.13 Zip package
• Feedreader 3.13 MySQL Edition Installer

 
THESE ARE DEVELOPMENT BUILDS. DO NOT MIRROR THEM.
 
Those who are using MySQL Edition should also update MyODBC to version 5.1.4

We have made available midrelease of Feedreader 3.13. It's only for interested parties. It's not even a beta release (although it should work fine).
 
Added experimental feature - "Add new article" to Feedreader. You can now add new articles or edit existing articles. It's not only true about Feedreader articles - you can copy article text (HTML) from Internet Explorer or even from Word and paste it to Feedreader and save as article. This is good for gathering information to your own "knowledge base".
 
We are also announcing search feeds support in Feedreader 3.13.
