Next version of Feedreader 3.11 beta released (24th October)


Hi!

We are glad to announce next and hopefully last beta version of Feedreader 3.11 before stable one. There are quite a lot of fixes and new features in this version...

  • Now it's possible to use alternate row coloring in Feedreader if you add alternaterowcoloring=1 under [misc] section in Feedreader.
  • We hope that now it's possible to download password protected enclosures from password protected feeds.
  • We changed program license a little bit to state that Feedreader can also be used in corporate environment without need to pay any license fees.
  • Reworked enclosure downloading a little bit (bottom left corner). Now it shows downloading progress in better manner and download box header has more consistent look.
  • Added new command under Enclosure Browser - "Generate playlist from selected files". This creates playlist from selected files, you can use playlist for example in Winamp.
  • For Feedreader OEM version we added feature that lets you use local files or network server locations (\\server\share\file.xml) as feed.

Please download Feedreader 3.11 beta from here.

Please also comment in case we introduced new bugs in this release.

sweet, there are additional "download" tags in right click

sweet, there are additional "download" tags in right click -- like on my bad file that got parsed into the listings from the xml -- so the actual download link was bad.

Now there were 2 "download" entries in the right click list, so I was able to finally get the file.

excellent, thanks.

Update Fails

hi

Many thanks for developing nice & simple feedreader. I use 3.11 beta and most part it works just fine but lately I'm having problem with " Update Period ".

Even though update period is 5 minutes, it doesn't update for 45 minutes or more.

In "Edit Feed" page it displays 45 minutes gap between last and next update.

And lately, most of the times, update just fails (Feed update temporarily failed). It doesn't display any error message either but in edit feed page smiley icon say that.

Though with the same settings and same feed URLs it updates later on.

I'll highly appreciate any help on the matter. Thanks a million in advance.

Password-protected feeds work fine

> hope that now it's possible to download password protected enclosures from password protected feeds

Yes, it is. Just completed my second test, and confirmed that password protected enclosures download without errors, and there is no blah.tmp file in the download directory indicated as the enclosure.

Fantastic, thank you for the fix.

See POST labelled "''Busy Updating'' icon never stops"

I have a post called "Busy Updating" icon never stops.

This seemed to be fixed in 3.11 Beta3 (October 1).

The fix (better behaviour) seems to have disappeared in 3.11 Beta4 (October 24).
