rssguard/resources/text/CHANGELOG

3.3.0
—————

Added:
▪ Feed updates are now parallelized up to infinite number of threads. This speeds up speed of concurrent feed updates rapidly (more than 5 times). I was able to update about 160 feeds in 35 seconds. Note that this feature is still in experimental state.

Removed:
▪ Cmake dependency completely removed!
▪ Completely abandoned support for self-updating via NSIS installers. Now, RSS Guard is distributed only via ZIP archives on Windows. User still can download them in RSS Guard.

Fixed:
▪ Removed "Restart" functionality, it was buggy and was causing a lot of internal problems, primarily with storing settings.

3.2.4
—————

Fixed:
▪ Auto-update interval/type is now persistent across sync-in for TT-RSS/ownCloud.

3.2.3
—————

Changed:
▪ Some minor tweaks for default icon theme loading.


3.2.2
—————

Added:
▪ RSS Guard now supports system-wide icon themes and on Windows -> built-in Faenza theme was tweaked.
▪ ownCloud plugin now allows to add feeds and rename feeds.

Fixed:
▪ Some minor buggies and code mistakes.
▪ Fixed problem with message counts.

3.2.1
—————

Added:
▪ Internal message previewer now introduces list of images contained in message contents of displayed message.

Fixed:
▪ Changes in count of all/unread messages are now faster. This results in (much) faster program startup when using BIG database file.

Changed:
▪ Internal message viewer now displays title as part of main HTML view.

3.2.0
—————

Main:
▪ Internal web browser was REMOVED. This is because old Qt WebKit web component will be removed from Qt and new Qt component for web viewing is based on Chromium, which is fucking joke. Some people hate Chromium because of many (technocal, philosophical, etical) reasons. Moreover, it lacks some useful features and is memory hungry. It is also very buggy in Qt now. Therefore now internal web browser is gone. Message preview component now uses much lighter solution and still can display certain HTML subset. RSS Guard was tweaked to be more friendly to external web browser. Double-clicking any message results in it being opened via external web browser.
▪ PLEASE, fill this survey: http://goo.gl/forms/ASWg4TFxlS
▪ RSS Guard now depends only Qt 5.6 or higher.

Added:
▪ ownCloud plugin now can delete feeds and edit auto-update policy of feeds.

▪ Message preview's font is now fully adjustable in settings. (issue #177)
▪ RSS Guard now automatically switches to SQLite backend if MySQL is not available on program startup.
▪ Newspaper view now allows marking individual messages read/unread/starred/unstarred.
▪ Added experimental support for tweakable statusbar. (issue #158)
▪ Opening of download manager when new file download starts is now optional. (issue #165)

Fixed:
▪ Download manager now correctly displays download progress/info.
▪ Better detection of MySQL server status. (bug #169)
▪ Ordering of messages is now done on SQL server (stands for both MySQL and SQLite). (bug #172)
▪ Now title of the RSS/ATOM message is taken into account when deciding message "uniqueness". (bug #171)
▪ MySQL scripts improved. (bug #170)
▪ Fixed little problem with feed list hiding. (bug #163)

Changed:
▪ Better performance when recalculating counts of all/unread messages in categories with many feeds.
▪ Custom notification popup window is now removed, it was buggy on Windows 10. Windows 10 offers good built-in alternative. On Linux, we rely on D-Bus notifications.

3.1.0
—————

Added:
▪ NEW ACCOUNT PLUGIN: OwnCloud News API 1.2 is now supported. Note that the support in this version is experimental and relatively basic. So far only syncing of feeds/messages is supported.

3.0.0
—————

▪ "Show unread feeds only" is now persistent between application sessions. GUI of this feature will be worked on in upcoming releases. (issue #119)

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.
