The latest version of the popular Open-Source RSS/XML aggregator/reader has just been released. Although it’s not as “exciting” as the last release which featured the Enclosure browser, this one fixes some bugs and adds some small features:
- Added experimental duplicate article grouping (autoduplicatediscovery=1 and maxdistance=?? if fine tuning is needed)
- Inline article tagging (press “t” while article is active). There’s also possibility to tag multiple selected articles at the same time
- Now it’s possible to copy multiple selected articles to clipboard. Save them to document or send to a friend at once.
- Starring/flagging article can be done from webview.
- Localized news packages available
