<p>Instead of an old-fashioned status bar — an app “chin” — the gear menu and refresh status appear at the bottom of the sidebar, and the current article‘s URL (or mouseover URL) appears at the bottom of the detail view.</p>
<p>Feedback is welcome on this change. It might need reversing or refining. Or it might be fine as-is. Let me know what you think.</p>
<h4>Performance</h4>
<p>The time between clicking on a feed —or especially a folder —and when the articles appear in the timeline view has been drastically reduced. This was due to a number of changes. (Thanks to Instruments!)</p>
<p>OPML importing was slow —now it’s borderline instantaneous, even with thousands of feeds.</p>
<p>HTML metadata parsing is now cached and performed on a background thread.</p>
<h4>Misc.</h4>
<p>Detect and parse RSS feeds that lack an opening rss tag. (See https://www.natashatherobot.com/feed/ as an example.)</p>
<p>When the home page of a feed isn’t known yet, base the favicon on the feed URL.</p>
<p>Fix a memory leak that happened every time you added a feed.</p>
<p>Removed signs of some features that won’t appear until 2.0. (I’ve been doing some punting. It hurts, but that’s how I know I’m doing it right.)</p>
<p>Increased spacing in sidebar from small to medium.</p>
<p>The smart feeds now appear in a Smart Feeds group in the sidebar.</p>

<p>Fetch unread counts from database at startup.</p>
<p>Make resizing the timeline view marginally faster.</p>
<p>Make the favicon downloading system use a little less memory.</p>
<p>Read a newly-added feed immediately, instead of waiting for the next refresh-all.</p>
<p>Use 38-pt-wide toolbar icons, a la Mail.</p>
<p>Parse RSS 1.0 (RDF) feeds. Pinboard uses these (I couldn’t find them anywhere else).</p>
<p>Make the window title-less. You can bring back the title using a <ahref="https://github.com/brentsimmons/Evergreen/blob/master/Technotes/HiddenPrefs.md">hidden pref</a>.</p>
<p>Save feed authors.</p>
<p>Save article authors.</p>
<p>Use updated @2x next-unread icon from Brad.</p>
<p>Fix bug detecting feed type for Dr. Drang’s JSON Feed.</p>
<p>Fix bug detecting Macworld’s RSS feed as an RSS feed. The feed doesn’t start with the standard XML header.</p>
<p>Set user-agent on the detail view’s webview.</p>
<p>The Feed Directory sidebar also shows favicons.</p>
<p>Note: obvious missing thing is a default image for when there is no favicon. See <ahref="https://github.com/brentsimmons/Evergreen/issues/208">https://github.com/brentsimmons/Evergreen/issues/208</a>.
