RSS Owl | RSS / RDF / Atom Feed Reader / News: Recent posts

After some time without news from RSSOwl, I am happy to release version 2.2.1. You will now find quick access to common actions like archiving or labeling right below the article content. Especially for articles with lots of content this means you no longer have to scroll all the way up to the title to run actions on the news. In addition, some broken keyword feeds have been fixed and new ones added.... read more

This new version provides an easy way to unsubscribe from Google Reader as Google decided to stop this service end of June. Please find more details in this FAQ entry (http://www.rssowl.org/help#item_unsub).
In addition, you can now export a feed as CSV file and among some bugfixes, some new share providers where added.
I would like to send out a big thank you for the donations (https://sourceforge.net/p/rssowl/donate/) that where submitted over the past weeks!

It was about time to provide up to date instructions how to build RSSOwl using Eclipse. Head over to https://github.com/bpasero/rssowl-target and find the instructions in the summary. We are encouraging other developers to provide pull requests on our GitHub project page (https://github.com/rssowl/RSSOwl/)!

You have likely read by now that Google is planning to shutdown their Google Reader service by summer. If you love synchronization (I do!), consider to sign this petition (https://www.change.org/petitions/google-keep-google-reader-running) to keep it alive. Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements how RSSOwl will support synchronization in the future and how you can import your subscriptions safely. Please keep in mind that Google Reader will still continue to work for some months.

This bugfix release resolves an issue when synchronizing articles with attachments with Google Reader.

This bugfix release resolves an issue when synchronizing articles to Google Reader and receiving an error "Bad Request (400)". This could happen when RSSOwl synchronized several hundred articles in one chunk to Google. As such this issue was only showing up for power users. If you have never seen this problem, you can stay on 2.1.2.

We added Italian and Polish versions of RSSOwl and there is still more languages to come soon. If you are missing your spoken language in RSSOwl, you can help out in translating.

Mac users will be happy to hear that RSSOwl for Mac is now provided as disk image. In addition to this new deployment format, the application is now a single executable application bundle that can easily be moved to the applications folder and started from there.... read more

This version adds a new entry to the tools menu to download additional languages for RSSOwl. If your language is missing, please contact the RSSOwl team if you can help out. Thanks!

RSSOwl 2.1.1 is the first maintenance for RSSOwl 2.1 and includes some bugfixes, performance improvements and little new features like the ability to quickly change layouts from an opened feed.

Since RSSOwl 2.1 has been released, more and more people ask for a translated version of RSSOwl. Currently, English is the only language supported and we would like to change that. We are now asking our fellow users to help translate RSSOwl into their language.

If you are willing to help out or know someone that could, please check out our translation wiki that lists all the details: http://wiki.rssowl.org/index.php/Translation... read more
