NetNewsWire 3.2b14 - RSS/Atom newsreader. (Free)

NetNewsWire is an easy-to-use RSS and Atom newsreader for Mac OS X. Its familiar three-paned interface—similar to Apple Mail—can fetch and display news from thousands of different websites and weblogs, making it quick and easy to keep up with the latest news. Features include:

• A tabbed browser lets you read web pages with the convenience of staying in the same window.
• Search your news items with a standard Apple search widget, like in Mail and other applications.
• Downloads podcasts and enclosures, and sends podcasts to iTunes with with your choice of genre and playlist.
• The flagged items feature lets you mark items that you want to keep -- they stay forever or until you mark them as unflagged.
• Mac OS X 10.5 compatible, and includes Automator actions to control functions in NetNewsWire.
• Other features include syncing, smart lists, search subscriptions, built-in styles, and AppleScript support.
• Includes a built-in categorized list of feeds that can be easily subscribed to.
• If NetNewsWire Lite is already running, quit it before running NetNewsWire.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 3.2b14:

• Fixed a bug where & and similar would appear in title list instead of &.
• Sending 30 mark-read/mark-unread items in one call rather than 10, for better efficiency.
• Marking an item as unread is now communicated to Google Reader.
• Doesn’t send mark read or unread actions for items where Google has locked the read state (for efficiency).
• Fixed a bug parsing and displaying enclosures.
• Fixed a bug where moving a feed — but keeping it inside its folder — would make it jump out to the top level.
• Possibly fixed a crashing bug in drawing titles in the vertical tabs table.
• Report Bug/Feature window now sends NetNewsWire settings info (optionally) instead of system details — because NetNewsWire info is way more useful in figuring things out. (Saves some time asking questions.)
• Doesn’t allow editing the feed URL for a Google-synced feed (since this isn’t supported by the API).
• Fixed a bug where showing/hiding read items would get confused.
• Fixed a bug subscribing to a feed and saying it should not be synced — those feeds were getting deleted right away after subscribing. (No longer.)
• Fixed a bug where feeds set to not sync would still get sent to Reader when merging subscriptions (either at first-run or manually).
• Fixed the query string that identifies NetNewsWire in the URL when downloading feeds. (A little thing Google needs.)
• Easier-to-read formatting of Google feeds in the view-feed-source window.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the description areas of the Combined View to be empty when a feed says that its home page is http:// #
