Feed Notifier 2.1 Released
2010 February 17
Feed Notifier 2.1 includes performance enhancements and a fix for occasional popup errors on Windows 7 and Vista. Version 2.1 also includes a software update feature to automatically check for new versions. The default theme was ported to pure Python code instead of HTML rendered by an Internet Explorer ActiveX control. The result is better performance, less memory overhead, no more quirky behavior on Windows 7 and better cross-platform support. A Linux release is probably not too far off (see screenshot below), but a Mac release will require tweaking some other cross-platform issues.

I’ve noticed that if I run “C:\Program Files\Feed Notifier\notifier.exe” from cmd.exe without cd into “C:\Program Files\Feed Notifier\” first, Feed Notifier 2.1 will load with the default settings instead of my customised config, e.g. disable auto play. Fyi. :)
Hi Nox, thanks for the tip. This should actually be fixed already, you might not have the latest build. Try downloading the installer again. (I actually snuck this fix in a day or two ago without renumbering the version since it was such a small change, I guess I shouldn’t be doing that!)
I downloaded the installer and re-installed. Problem fixed indeed. Thanks Michael. :)
hey, thanks for the useful app.
it doesn’t fully work on my machine (win 7 64bit, fresh install). i get sound notifications but no popups. also nothing happens when i left-click the icon. it seems to read the feed correctly because i can see the right number of items in the options menu, i guess it’s a gui thing…
