The RSSOwl development team is happy to announce the new version 1.2.3 of RSSOwl.

You can now subscribe to feeds with RSSOwl by passing the url of the feed as argument to the executing launcher (e.g. rssowl.exe on windows). This works very well with the new Firefox 2 where RSSOwl will be visible in the list of newsreaders to select when opening a feed in Firefox. In case you are already subscribed to the feed, it will display its content.... read more

The RSSOwl development team is happy to announce a fresh new version of RSSOwl.
After four months of work, version 1.2.2 is now available for download. This
version comes with some enhancements, a lot of bugfixes and improved security
from the embedded browser on windows.

The integrated Feed-Validator was removed due to lacking support for RDF and Atom
formats. The new Validator allows to enter the URL of the Newsfeed and will forward
to the well-known W3C Feed-Validator that supports all major formats and namespaces.... read more

The RSSOwl development team is happy to announce a fresh new version of RSSOwl.
After five months of work, version 1.2.1 is now available for download. The version number
might sound minor, but the changes are totally major!

On the usability side it is now possible to reorder Tabs in the Tabfolder via Drag and Drop
and opening the next unread Message is working, even if no Feed is displayed at all. Based
on the current selected Favorite, RSSOwl is automatically opening the next Favorite from
there that contains unread News. With this feature it is possible to have the Favorites-Tree
closed all the time to save some space, while still being able to navigate to the next unread News.... read more
