Feed Notifier 2.5 Released

2011 August 26
by Michael Fogleman

Bug fixes and new features are here in Feed Notifier 2.5! Configurable colors!

New Pop-up Options

  • Wait if hovering: Don’t advance to the next pop-up if you’re hovering over it with your mouse.
  • Stay on top: Now you can choose to not have pop-ups stay on top, if you wish.
  • Border size: You can configure the size of the pop-up border.
  • Border color: You can configure the color of the pop-up border – and this can be done on a per-feed basis to help distinguish between items from different feeds!
  • Right-click links to copy the link URL.

Other Features

  • Allow fallback on Windows-configured proxy.
  • Improved cache mechanism.
  • Proxy info is encoded on disk and displayed like a password in the user interface.
  • Checks for software updates every 24 hours, not just on app startup.

Bug Fixes

  • 15 second socket timeout (was infinite, which caused problems with bad feeds).
  • Use black text color in pop-ups, regardless of system theme.
  • Use proxy when downloading feed favicons.
  • Removed webkit and html theme code remnants that weren’t being used.

    So… No themes?

    PS. I was worried that this program has been abandoned. It would be a great waste since it’s a one of a kind rss reader.

    Hi, thanks for creating FeedNotifier, it’s a great application.
    I’ve got one question: is it going to support windows authentication in future?

    Best regards

    thanks a lot. it’s exactly what i wanted after moving from opera to chrome.
    no chrome extensions has a timeout interval – that’s why you have to manually close them.

    but there’s one thing – it requires more than 35 mb of RAM. it’s WAY too much for such a small app, isn’t it?

    The programs looks great, but please (please, please, please!), OPML support! It’s the one thing I need to start using your program!
