3.0.0
Added:
- Brand new "service plugin system" - HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and REWRITTEN from scratch. Expect bugs and misunderstandings now! Major parts of RSS Guard were completely rewritten. Note that some functionality might be TEMPORARILY removed.
- Added ability to completely disable notifications (bug #128).
- Added ability to hide status bar.
- Added ability to go to next unread message. (partially bug #112)
Fixed:
- Tiny Tiny RSS plugin now supports HTTP authentication (Basic, NTLM, Digest). (bug #132)
- Fixed bug with updating feed. (bug #131)
- Solved problem when user selects HUGE number of individual messages and marks them read/unread. Reselecting them after change may cause RSS Guard to hang.
- Better info in popup notification when many feeds are updated.
- Fixed obtaining of contents in RSS 2.0 feed entries. (bug #130)
- Improved popup informing about changes in newly installed version.
- Icons in notification popups are now smaller (22 x 22 pixels).
- Encoding selection widget in feed add/edit dialog now detects encodings via case insensitive string matching.
- When removing download item from download manager via DELETE key, then "Cleanup" button is correctly disabled.
2.5.2
Added:
- Added experimental support for fetching metadata for individual feeds via feed context menu. (issue #118)
- "Show unread feeds only" is now persistent between application sessions. GUI of this feature will be worked on in upcoming releases. (issue #119)
Fixed:
- Fixed crash when adding Adblock subscription.
- Custom external web browser now correctly opens URLs on some operating systems. This seemed to primarily affect Linux distributions. (bug #123)
- Categories are now not expanded when selected using "Go to next/previous item" in feeds list. (bug #122)
- Added action to expand/collapse currently selected item in feeds list. (enhancement #121)
2.5.1
Added:
- Key used for proxy/feed password coding is now stored in separate file. This file lies in the same directory as configuration file. If your use password-protected proxy/feeds, then make sure that NOBODY gets access to that file and your DB file in the same time.
- Notifications on Linux now support D-Bus "org.freedesktop.Notifications" service. User must have enabled "modern & fancy notifications" for this to work. If D-Bus service is not available, then feature falls back to RSS Guard custom popup notifications.
Fixed:
- Size of downloaded website artifacts is now not hidden by progress bar.
- Auto-updating of feeds fixed, error was due to master mutex double locking. (issue #117)
- Fixed some memory leaks which might appear when adding/editing categories/feeds.
2.5.0
Added:
- Implemented ability to display ONLY FEEDS WITH SOME UNREAD MESSAGES. This behavior can be controlled by action in menu 'Feeds -> Show only unread feeds/categories' (issue #52). Behavior is this:
- User selects some feeds with unread messages, reads them all.
- User switches to another feed.
- Previously selected feed (now has no unread messages) is now hidden.
Note that this feature also works when you e.g. mark message(s) as read/unread or when you restore some messages from recycle bin. Also when feeds are updated, then filter is invalidated.
- Password in feeds & proxy & MySQL are now saved in encrypted form. This means that all passwords from RSS Guard older than 2.5.0 are lost!!! Set your passwords again. Used encryption scheme is meant to only make sure that passwords are not stored in DB/settings in plain form. It is not meant to protect your passwords in any broader way. Attacker can exploit your passwords if he really wants.
- Fancy & modern popup notifications (turned on by default).
- Enhanced information in download manager.
- Added ability to change font for internal message viewer.
- Updated URLs of some Adblock subscriptions.
- (Windows only) Updated bundled Qt runtime to versions 4.8.7/5.5.0. Pre-builded binaries use Qt 5. Although this results in larger installation files, this is good for future, because Qt 5 is newer and has better support.
Fixed:
- Adblock subscriptions starting with faulty " [Adblock..."] are now correctly loaded.
2.4.2
Fixed:
- Browse button in 'Downloads' section of settings is now correctly disabled when needed.
- Icon cache is now automatically cleared after most of application is loaded. This should save some memory.
2.4.1
Added:
- Experimental support for lighter version of Adblock component. It is configurable via status bar icon in bottom-right corner of main application window. It supports Adblock Plus filters. It is disabled by default. DO NOT user Adblock component if you wish to have LOW memory footprint or use very limited set of rules. Big set of rules makes RSS Guard more RAM hungry. (issue #7)
- Unavailable actions in menus are automatically disabled when such a situation arises. (issue #28)
- Added support for Google auto-suggest API. Just type your phrase in internal web browser location text box and Google will help you out.
Fixed:
- Source code now uses QStringLiteral/QLatin1String class for character literals.
- Internal message previewer is now cleared only once when switching feeds.
- Database cleanup tools now do support "shrinking" in in-memory databases, althouth it is bit hacky.
- Google suggest API now prevents completion if ENTER in address textbox is hit.

#110)
