Wizz RSS
Version 2.1.9.8
Fixed the bug where enclosure feeds, not using a link tag within the item tag, were not being processed correctly. Reported by Christian.
Fixed the bug where; when reading multiple feeds, if the last feed caused an error, none of the feed items were being displayed. Reported by many.
Fixed the bug where hiding the mini-toolbars would collapse the toolbar placeholder to a height of 0px. This meant that the toolbar placeholder couldn't be double clicked to redisplay the mini-toolbar. Reported by pvwon.
Small aesthetic "fix" to the Open/Close sidebar button.
Version 2.1.9.7
Rolled back all of the feed reading functionality that tied into parseAsync(). It caused too many problems for too many people. So 2.1.9.7 reverts to using parseFromString() as in version 2.1.9.5.
Fixed the memory leak reported by Elfan.
Fixed the conflict with Hyperwords 2.8. Reported by Robert Grant.
Fixed the bug where the Watch List would run forever. Thanks to hutters for his patience and assistance.
Fixed the bug where adding a feed would cause the throbber to run forever. This bug is related to the bug reported by hutters.
Version 2.1.9.6
Hooked the Outbrain star ratings into the Outbrain production server.
Fixed up the character encoding problem on the preview page. Indirectly reported by Zios.
Rolled back the focus change implemented in 2.1.9.5. Automatically setting the focus to the opened page caused too many problems. Sorry Prognatus :)
Redesigned all of the feed reading functionality so that it makes use of parseAsync() calls in the Firefox feed parsing API. Hopefully the Watch List will now run without killing Firefox.
The redesign of the feed reading functionality also facilitated other changes which, hopefully, will improve the performance and reduce the resource overhead.
Removed all of the Watch List logging functionality. Hopefully this'll also contribute to improved performance.
Removed the "Run watch process in parallel" option. The Watch List will only run in parallel now.
Fixed bug where marking a category as read or unread wasn't working correctly.
This will probably be the last release of Wizz RSS for Firefox 2. From now on all development work will focus on getting Wizz RSS ready for Firefox 3. Please watch the Wizz RSS forum for Beta releases that'll run on Gran Paradiso 3.0a7.
Version 2.1.9.5
Hooked into the Outbrain API to display star ratings. Star ratings will be displayed on the preview page.
Added an option so that displaying Outbrain star ratings can optionally be disabled.
Fixed conflict with Firefly. Reported by DaveW.
Fixed text wrapping problem. Quite a few people have reported a "wrapping problem," but I only got to understand the problem through discussion with Prognatus. So Prognatus gets credit for reporting the problem :)
Added functionality to automatically focus on pages opened by Wizz RSS. Requested by Prognatus.
Added functionality to the clear Watch List cache warning, so that the cache can be cleared from the warning alert. Requested by cbmanica.
Finally managed to work out how to digitally sign the Wizz RSS XPI. From now on, all releases of Wizz RSS will be signed.
Added an option to run the Watch List process in parallel. The default will be to run the Watch List process in series. Some people see high CPU usage when running the Watch List in series, while others see high CPU usage when running the Watch List in parallel. I guess people will just have to work out which of of the two best suits their particular hardware configuration.
Changed the default value for the shortcut key combination that toggles the sidebar. The default value is now Alt+Q.
Added functionality to support Command+Left-click to open feed items on a new tab. I wasn't aware of the fact that Ctrl+Left-click didn't work on a Mac. Thanks to Will Park for educating me.
Version 2.1.9.4
Applied some of the new stuff from 2.9.0 (3.0.0 Beta 1).
Threw out the ugly, clunky and buggy feed parsing code and tied into the Firefox feed content API, which fixes a few bugs.
Fixed a bug where feed home URLs where not being stored correctly when reading all feeds in a category.
Added a "Run Once" button to the mini-toolbar on the Found Items tab. Requested by KosciaK.
Added a "Start Watch List" button to the mini-toolbar on the Found Items tab. Requested by KosciaK.
Added a "Stop Watch List" button to the mini-toolbar on the Found Items tab. Requested by KosciaK.
Added a cursor: pointer; style to the "The Watch List has found new items" button on the statusbar.
Removed the Watch List throbber from the Wizz RSS toolbar. It has been replaced with a throbber that will be displayed on the Firefox statusbar, ONLY when the Watch List is busy checking feeds for new items.
Removed the Watch List running indicator (i.e. the green border) from the Watch List button on the Wizz RSS toolbar. It has been replaced with a green checkmark icon that will be displayed on the Firefox statusbar, ONLY when the Watch List is active.
Removed the Watch List found new items indicator (i.e. the red border) from the Watch List button on the Wizz RSS toolbar. It hasn't been replaced with anything because there are already a whole pile of "found new items" indicators.
Changed the Watch List code so that watched feeds will be read in series rather than in parallel. This should make running the Watch List less resource intensive, but it also makes it slower.
Version 2.9.0
Tied all of the Wizz RSS code into Places.
Fixed up many of the drag and drop problems when arranging feeds and categories in the Category/Channel tree.
Added functionality to import Live Bookmarks by dragging them onto the Category/Channel tree.
Added functionality to "quick view" Live Bookmarks by dragging them onto the Item List.
Changed the way in which the feed home URL is stored. Rather than the ugly hack of using the bookmark Keyword field, the home URL is now stored as a bookmarkProperties/feedhome annotation.
Changed the way in which the feed status is stored. Rather than the ugly hack of storing "Read" or "Unread" in the bookmark description field, the feed status is now stored as a bookmarkProperties/feedstatus annotation.
Reading a feed will now store the feed's subtitle in the bookmark description field. i.e. The bookmarkProperties/description annotation.
Threw out the ugly, clunky and buggy feed parsing code and tied into the Firefox feed content API.
Removed the Channel Properties functionality. I plan to replace it with something a lot smarter.
Fixed a bug where feed home URLs where not being stored correctly when reading all feeds in a category.
Favicons will now be displayed correctly in the Category/Channel tree, even if they are bigger than 16 x 16 pixels.
Added functionality to correctly increment the bookmark Visit Count field when a feed is read.
Added functionality to correctly set the bookmark Visit Date field when a feed is read.
Fixed a bug where clicking an item without an item link would open a blank page. Clicking an item without an item link will now only display the verbose description. The preview page will also not display the "Read more..." button for items without item links.
Threw out the old checkFeed parser and tied it into the Firefox feed content API.
Adding feeds, using drag and drop or using the Add Channel form, will now automatically store the feed's home URL and the feed's subtitle. This won't work if Wizz's add functionality is bypassed by adding feeds directly to Firefox bookmarks, but the data will be correctly updated the first time the feed is read.
Changed the Category and Channel marking functionality, so that it also ties into the Firefox feed content API.
Added functionality to display the feed subtitle (If it has a subtitle), in the verbose description pane, when hovering the mouse over the feed title in the item list.
Changed the preview functionality so that double clicking a feed title will display all items below that title on the preview page.
Changed the preview functionality to include the feed's subtitle.
Changed the preview functionality to include a "Home" button. Clicking the home button will display the feed's home page on a new tab.
Version 2.1.9.3
Made some changes to the preview page to better accommodate custom CSS. Got rid of the <fieldset> and <legend> elements and also removed the hard-coded <b></b> around the feed title.
Added functionality to open the preview page on a new tab. Ctrl + double-click or double-middle-click will now open the preview page on a new tab. Requested by VJ.
Changed the way in which the status bar button works. Now, rather than displaying an empty button, it will be hidden. The status bar button, with it's green dot, will now only be displayed when the Watch List finds new items.
Changed the tooltip text for the status bar button to read, "The Watch List has found new items."
Fixed the wizzrss.properties file for the be-BY locale. I never encoded the file correctly and it has probably never worked correctly. Sorry be-BY people (sheepish grin).
Stripped out the old "Preview All" functionality in favor of the new preview functionality.
Stripped out all obsolete localization entities and property strings.
Fixed bug where a property string for the Search Feedster form was missing from all locales except en-US.
Version 2.1.9.2
Fixed a bug where the "Get channel name from feed" option on the Add Channel form wasn't always working.
Changed some of the functionality around adding feeds (Both drag and drop, and using the Add Channel form). The throbber on the Wizz RSS mini-toolbar will now animate while adding a feed.
Changed the XMLHTTPRequest in the checkfeed function to make it asynchronous. The change should remedy the situation where Firefox becomes unresponsive when adding feeds that point at slow remote hosts.
Added functionality to process pubDate tags in RSS feeds and published tags in Atom feeds. Currently there is no logic behind any of the dates, they will only be displayed.
Fixed a little Atom parsing bug (Damn Atom! It's such a pain in the arse!).
Fixed a bug where the verbose description was not being displayed when using the keyboard to navigate feed items.
Added functionality to produce a feed preview when double-clicking a feed title in the item list. The feed preview will only include items that "belong" to the clicked title. The functionality is the same for both the Wizz RSS tab and the Found Items tab.
Added abort functionality to the throbber. Clicking the throbber on the Wizz RSS tab, while it is animated, will abort the current feed read process. Requested by KosciaK and others.
Finally managed to fix the irritating bug where the scrollbar on the Item list would sometimes not scroll to the top when reading a new feed.
Version 2.1.9.1
Added tooltip text to the status bar button. This was requested by someone, but I can't remember who.
Fixed a bug with the Saved Items tab. The tab's selected status wouldn't persist if no items had been saved by the Watch List.
Fixed and changed quite a few things with the Share via Email functionality. Share via Email should work with Qmail SMTP servers now. Thanks to LoneStar for input, feedback and testing.
Fixed a problem where an observer wasn't being removed correctly. This was causing a minor memory leak.
Added functionality to focus the Firefox window when clicking the link on the Watch List alert. Requested by cbmanica.
Added functionality to synchronize the display of the "green dot" on the status bar button across multiple instances of Firefox. The red border around the Watch List button is also synchronised. Requested by Eskimo.
Version 2.1.9.0
Fixed up the theme problem where black text was being displayed on a dark blue background. Reported by ohloloo, KosciaK and others.
Fixed up the problem where some item URLs where being too aggressively "sanitized." Reported by yuspam.
Changed the error message for feeds that contain no items. Before, Wizz RSS would report an invalid XML, which of course is incorrect. Feeds containing no items will now be reported with a "No items found in feed" message, while invalid XML will display the same invalid error message. Reported by Robert Harm I think.
I have finally relented (After MUCH pressure) and I've added a new visual Watch List notification. The Watch List, when it finds new items, will now display an icon on the Firefox status bar. The icon used is the same as that used to indicate unread items. i.e. The green dot. Clicking the icon on the Firefox status bar will open Wizz RSS in a sidebar or window, depending on your option settings. NO MORE NOTIFICATION METHODS WILL BE ADDED, otherwise Firefox will light up like a Christmas tree when new items are found!
Added functionality to clear the description pane on the Found Items tab when the Watch List cache is cleared. Requested by Robert Harm (This time I'm sure).
Fixed a bug that caused the quick read function to fail when reading a feed with no title.
Version 2.1.9
I have attempted to standardize the look and feel of Wizz RSS. I tried this once before and it was a dismal failure. Hopefully this time I've been a bit smarter. The reason? Some themes look great but aspects of the theme might not suit aspects of Wizz RSS. Another huge problem is that many themes are incomplete. So hopefully my efforts will keep Wizz RSS looking acceptable, regardless of the theme you are using. Things like scrollbars, buttons, checkboxes, etc. will still follow the installed theme, while tabs, text colours, groupboxes, background colours, splitters, etc. will (Hopefully) remain constant.
Added functionality to "remember" which tab had focus when the sidebar/window is closed. Requested by many different people.
Added functionality to hide the Wizz RSS tab's mini-toolbar. Double-click on a empty part of the mini-toolbar, and it'll be hidden, leaving a 4px high placeholder in it's place. Double-click the placeholder and the mini-toolbar will be redisplayed. Wizz RSS will also "remember" the hidden/not-hidden state of the mini-toolbar. Requested by ChrisM and GismoDFW.
Added functionality to hide the Found Items tab's mini-toolbar. It works in exactly the same way as hiding the Wizz RSS tab's mini-toolbar. Requested by ChrisM and GismoDFW.
Added functionality to hide the tabs in the sidebar/window. Double-click anywhere on the tabs and they will be hidden, leaving a 4px high placeholder in their place. Double-click the placeholder and the tabs will be redisplayed. Wizz RSS will also "remember" the hidden/not-hidden state of the tabs. Requested by ChrisM and GismoDFW.
Changed the Watch List "Notify" action to "Find". This was done in an attempt to undo some of the confusion surrounding the Watch List. Many people think/thought that the "Notify" action only pops up some-or-other notification to indicate that new items have been found. Of course it does a lot more than that. Watch List feeds currently having an action of "Notify" will automatically be changed to "Find".
Reinstated the "clickability" of the Watch List "found new items alert thingy." Requested by cbmanica.
Many thanks to Jefferson Ogata (NOAA Computer Incident Response Team) for his invaluable input with regard fixing various cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
Removed the "fix" for ensuring that popup menus close. There were two reasons for this: Firstly, it causes problems with Firefox 3.0a1. Secondly, many people complained that popup menus where disappearing too quickly.
Added functionality to check how long it takes to load Watch List Found Items. If it takes longer than two seconds, an alert will be displayed recommending that the Watch List cache be cleared.
Some themes where not allowing font size changes to be displayed correctly. I think I have now rectified the problem.
Bumped maxVersion to 3.0a1. Maybe a few of you would like to test with Gran Paradiso?
Version 2.1.8
Updated the code so that server save, server restore, weather, etc., etc. tie into the wizzrss.com domain.
Added a "Get channel name from feed" option on the Add Channel window. This is something that someone requested/suggested ages ago and I forgot to do it.
Modified the Watch List save code so that saved items are written to sub-folders named like the feed name. Before the change, sub-folders were named according to the domain they were derived from, which was a little confusing when trying to look up items for offline reading. I hope this change works with non-English feeds on non-English operating systems.
Added view "Saved Items" functionality. The new functionality will list any saved items and, when clicked, will attempt to render the saved items through Friefox. This should make Wizz RSS a slightly more useful offline reader.
Re-enabled the feedback page on the new domain.
Fixed options bug. When the Options window was opened from the "mini-toolbar", changing various options wouldn't perform the desired function and the Options window wouldn't close when clicking the OK button.
Added tabs to the Wizz RSS sidebar/window. I have put the Watch List Items (i.e. Items found by the Watch List) on one tab and the new Saved Items onto another tab. I think this makes everything a little more accessible and a lot easier to work with.
Fixed those damn popup menus that refused to close.
Fixed bug where sharing an item via email from the description panel wasn't working.
Removed the Import Private List option from the Options etc. menu. I'm pretty sure that no one needs it anymore.
Added functionality to mark items from a single feed as read or unread when viewing items from multiple feeds in the Item Pane. Requested by VJ.
Thanks to rssuser, a "silly" with the Watch List code was fixed. The fix should make Watch List execution a bit faster and a little less memory intensive.
Fixed a little bug on the Search Feedbase window where the order option "None" was shown twice.
Fixed scripting vulnerability.
Version 2.1.7
Fixed an Atom bug related to xml:base. Reported by ballman. Hopefully I now have this damn xml:base thing sorted!
Fixed another Atom bug (Found while fixing the bug reported by ballman) but I can't remember which one it was.
Fixed the Options page so that the correct (The currently selected) modifier key is shown on the options tab.
Fixed file name bug when saving a single enclosure. Reported by RogerTCB.
Updated the da-DK locale. Thanks to AlleyKat at Babelzilla.
Fixed the text/html bug in Feed Search. Reported by Mato.
Updated the feed handler interface and made it simpler to use. Now use drag and drop to add a feed or to preview a feed.
Version 2.1.6
Fixed up all the bits 'n pieces that missed localization in 2.1.5.
Moved the show/hide read items functionality from the Options window to buttons at the top of the Sidebar/Window and the View Items window. Suggested/Requested by Edward Dallas. I think it makes the show/hide read items functionality MUCH more accessible, and Edward, it makes a lot of sense :)
Enhanced the Feedster search interface to include Feedster search options.
Bumped maxVersion to 2.0.0.*
Fixed bug where Feed Search wouldn't display feeds for links that didn't have a title attribute. Reported by mrspeaker.
Fixed bug where GUID tag, without isPermaLink attribute set to true, was, in some cases, being used as the news item URL. Reported by PeterBLN.
Added functionality to include a link to enclosures for items shared via email. Requested by PeterBLN.
REALLY fixed the xml:base bug this time. Reported by tmalaher.
Added functionality to support Ctrl + Left Click to open pages on a new tab. Suggested by ChrisM.
Added be-BY locale support. Thanks to DRKA at Babelzilla .
Added af-ZA locale support. Thanks to leuce at Babelzilla .
Put the fi-FI server-side strings online.
Version 2.1.5.1
A maintenance release of version 2.1.5 that bumped maxVersion to 2.0.0.*
Version 2.1.5.0
A maintenance release of version 2.1.5 that bumped maxVersion to 2.0b2
Version 2.1.5
Fixed up a few strings that missed localization.
Added el-GR locale support. Thanks to Sonickydon at Babelzilla .
Added es-ES locale support. Thanks to PAGF_LINUX at Babelzilla .
Added es-AR locale support. Thanks to ZuGro at Babelzilla .
Added functionality to visually differentiate between items that contain enclosures and those that don't. Items that contain enclosures will be shown in italics.
Added functionality to play a single enclosure using the default m3u handler. Requested by jazzfido. I'm NOT going to support this function. If you don't know what a m3u handler is, or if you want to change your default m3u handler, or if your m3u handler doesn't render the enclosure correctly, you can contact jazzfido at...
Added functionality to play all enclosures as a single m3u playlist, using the default m3u handler. Requested by jazzfido. I'm NOT going to support this function either. If you need help with the function, please see the listing just above this one.
Added it-IT locale support. Thanks to MatrixIsAllOver and Ginex at Babelzilla .
Added fi-FI locale support. Thanks to reptail at Babelzilla .
Added functionality to the Feed Search so that it'll also seach the content documents of frames and iframes.
Fixed up the verbose description pane so that HTML links in the description will also follow the "Focus newly opened tab" option.
Fixed up the preview all window so that HTML links in the description will also follow the "Focus newly opened tab" option.
Added "not" functionality to the filter function. Requested by many. To apply "not" filtering, precede the filter criterion with an exclamation mark. e.g. !sport will return all items that DO NOT contain the word "sport" and !world&cup will return all items that DO NOT contain the phrase "world cup"
Added functionality to optionally specify a shortcut key modifier.
Fixed shortcut key bug where hitting Alt + T on an item heading would try to open the heading in a new tab.
Fixed shortcut key bug where hitting Alt + S on an item heading would try to email the heading.
Fixed shortcut key bug where Alt + A refused to add a category to the root of the Category/Channel tree.
Fixed shortcut key bug where Alt + A refused to add a category as a child of the currently selected category.
Created access key entities so that all access keys can be correctly localized.
Added functionality to render all image enclosures on a single HTML page. Requested by mod_wastrel.
Thanks to MatrixIsAllOver (AKA Luana) a few more strings that missed localization have now been localized.
Added functionality to import Live Bookmarks (Not localized yet). Request by nirvana and others.
Added functionality to search Feedbase (Not localized yet). The search will return a feed (Meta feed?) containing information about feeds found in the Feedbase database that match supplied criteria.
Version 2.1.4.0
2.1.4.0 is exactly the same as 2.1.4. It was only released to fix the pt-BR mix-up.
Version 2.1.4
Fixed a silly bug with the Quick Read function that has gone unnoticed for ages.
Added functionality to clear the verbose description when feeds are quick read.
Added functionality to support middle clicking on the enclosure popup menu. Middle clicking items on the enclosure popup menu will now open those items on a new tab. I've no idea how this popup managed to miss the "middle-click treatment" for so long.
Fixed Watch List Save Path bug. Reported by TheHollies
Added functionality to optionally focus on a newly opened tab. By default, newly opened tabs will not be focused. So the default behavior, when opening news articles on a new tab, will revert to the way it was before 2.1.3.
Added functionality to optionally hide the Verbose Description pane. Requested by many.
Added functionality to validate feeds through feedvalidator.org. The feed validation functionality is available from the Category/Channel tree context menu.
Added functionality to add feeds, from the Category/Channel tree, to Feedbase.
Fixed the "Firefox does not know how to open this program because the protocol wizzhttp is not associated with any application" bug. Reported by Dave.
Fixed the xml:base bug in Atom 1.0 feeds. Reported by Alex Dannenberg.
Added a "Copy Enclosure Link Location" function to the enclosure popup menu. Requested by jazzfido.
Added access keys to the items on the enclosure popup menu.
Fixed bug where deleting the Watch List log required a Firefox restart to re-enable logging.
Updated ja-JP locale. Thanks to Haebaru at Babelzilla .
Updated sk-SK locale. Thanks to Jacen at Babelzilla
Added da-DK locale support. Thanks to AlleyKat at Babelzilla .
Added pt-BR locale support. Thanks to peguca at Babelzilla .
Updated fr-FR locale. Thanks to climenole at Babelzilla .
Fixed a tiny bug with the item titles of some RSS feeds.
Updated ru-RU locale. Thanks to stoneflash at Babelzilla .
Updated de-DE locale. Thanks to 0815horst at Babelzilla .
Fixed bug where the play sound option was being written even when no sound file was selected.
Fixed bug where the description of Atom 1.0 feeds was not being displayed on the Channel Properties page.
Fixed a few "uncaught exceptions."
Added a third button that, like the toogle toolbar and the Wizz RSS buttons, can be added to any Firefox toolbar. The new button opens the Watch List View Items window. This was requested by someone, but I can't remember who :)
Version 2.1.3
Added ru-RU locale support. Thanks to stoneflash for the translation.
Added context menus to the verbose description areas. Requested by Dav4is.
Fixed keyword bug that was causing URLs typed into the address bar to redirect to the XML URL. Reported by kiuze and others.
Fixed bug where quotes (") in URL strings was causing the restore from server function to fall over. Reported by Mario Sundar.
Fixed bug in site publication back-end code where URLs were not being passed correctly.
Updated the de-De locale. Thanks again to 0815horst for the translation.
Added functionality to clear the verbose description when items are cleared.
Added functionality to clear the verbose description when a new feed is selected. Requested by Craig.
Added functionality to keep verbose description in sync. with currently selected item. Requested by Craig.
Fixed bug where the download window wouldn't close when downloading timed-out. Reported by Eugene.
Fixed bug where relative item/enclosure URLs could not be marked as read/unread. Reported by Eugene.
Opening an article on a new tab (By either middle clicking or by selecting Open on New Tab from the context menu) will now also make the new tab the tompmost (focused) tab. Requested by Marc Gorenstein.
Hovering the mouse over an item will now also display the item's title in a tooltip. This will only happen when the title is cropped (i.e. Is showing ellipisis at the end of the title). Requested by Marc Gorenstein.
Fixed bug where keyboard navigation of items in the View Items window, when opened from the sidebar/window toolbar, wasn't marking items as read.
Added a very simple interface to tie into the experimental feed subscription service of Bon Echo Alpha 2 (To use this feature you'll need to bump maxVersion to 2.0a2). about:config settings are: -
browser.contentHandlers.types.n.title - Wizz RSS News Reader (Or whatever you'd like to put in there).
browser.contentHandlers.types.n.type - application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed
browser.contentHandlers.types.n.uri - chrome://wizzrss/content/addfeed.xul?url=%s
Changed the way in which the Watch List writes cache information to disk. Which should (I hope) have a significant impact on the "freezing problem."
Added functionality to optionally play a sound (User selected .wav file) when the Watch List finds new items. Requested by many.
Version 2.1.2.0
2.1.2.0 is exactly the same as 2.1.2. It was only released to try to solve the "Not a Valid Install Package" errors. It turned out that the "Not a Valid Install Package" errors were being caused by one of the Mozilla mirrors being out of disk space.
Version 2.1.2
Fixed conflict with Bookmark Duplicate Detector 0.3.0.
Added fr-FR locale support. Thanks to Claude LaFrenière for the translation.
Added a few buttons to the top of the sidebar/window, which should make it easier to access toolbar functionality when the toolbar is hidden.
Changed code to enable server-side string localization.
Fixed Send via Email bug that was messing with the in memory data source.
Finally uncovered the sk-SK mystery-man :) Thanks Jacen!
Added ja-JP locale support. Thanks to Hebaru for the translation.
Added functionality to open unread items in new tabs. The function will open 15 unread items at a time, each in it's own tab. Requested by Marco Vasconcelos.
Added de-DE locale support. Thanks to 0815horst for the translation.
Version 2.1.1
Thanks to Cameron (#umo) and Mook (#extdev) I have managed to reinstate the Watch List automatic startup. The code will now reliably ensure that only one instance of the Watch List is running at any one time.
With loads of input from Max, I have more-or-less resolved (I don't think this problem can ever be 100% resolved) the "unresponsive script" problem. Thanks Max!
Moved the Feed Search instructions from content to locale. The instructions should be in locale for proper localization... When it happens one day :)
Added an option to show/hide read items in the Watch List > View Items window. This effectively turns the Watch List cache into an archive for as long as the Watch List cache remains uncleared.
Changed the way in which the date and time is being prepended to saved items. Previously the date/time stamp wasn't ensuring a unique file name, which resulted in some saved files being overwritten.
Made it optional to prepend date/time stamp to items saved by the Watch List. Requested by skeeter and David Wille. WARNING! Use this option with care as it could result in files being overwritten!
Updated the Watch List code so that it deals with enclosures in the same way as the rest of Wizz RSS.
Fixed bug where Bloglines feeds were not being processed correctly.
Thanks to some unknown person who submitted a translation to Mozilla.sk, I have added sk-SK locale support.
Added the following shortcut keys to the Category/Channel tree: -
Alt + A = Add Category.
Alt + C = Add Channel.
Alt + S = Share via Email.
Alt + N = Rename.
Alt + D = Delete.
Alt + R = Mark as Read.
Alt + U = Mark as Unread.
Alt + E = Edit Channel URL.
Alt + G = Search Google.
Alt + F = Search Feedster.
Alt + W = Add to Watch List.
Alt + P = Channel Properties.
Changed some of the functionality around the View Items window. The View Items window should open a lot quicker now especially if there are lots of items.
Added functionality to perform rudimentary Watch List logging. Requested by David Wille.
Added option to enable/disable Watch List logging. The default is disabled.
Version 2.1.0
Changed the way the alphabetical feed sorting is done. It should be MUCH faster now.
Added a Filter Items option to the Items Pane context menu. The function is not case sensitive. The filter can be a list of space separated words, a list of amphasand separated words (For filtering on a phrase), or a combination of space and amphasand separated words. Related HTML is not filtered.
Added a Reload Items option to the Items Pane context menu. This option can be used to re-display all items after they have been filtered (Reload does not re-read the feed XML from the remote host).
Undid some silly stuff in itemreader.js. Made the code a lot tighter and more efficient.
Added a few shortcut keys to the Items Pane (I'm sure I'll add more as I go along). Requested by many.
Alt + T = Open in New Tab.
Alt + P = Preview All.
Alt + M = Mark All as Read.
Alt + U = Mark All as Unread.
Alt + M = Mark as Read.
Alt + I = Mark as Unread.
Alt + S = Share via Email.
Alt + F = Filter Items.
Alt + L = Reload Items.
Added a Delete All function to the Configure Watch List context menu.
Added a Toggle All Actions function to the Configure Watch List context menu.
Fixed problem where Unicode characters were not persisting correctly between sessions.
Reworked the entire Watch List "caching" thingy. It should also be MUCH faster now.
Fixed bug where adding a feed to the Watch List more than once would cause newly found items to be read for each occurrence.
Added a Filter Items option to the Watch List context menu. It works pretty much the same as the Filter Items option on the Items Pane context menu.
Added a Reload Items option to the Watch List context menu. It works pretty much the same as the Reload Items option on the Items Pane context menu.
Added the same shortcut keys to the Items Pane of the Watch List View Items window.
Added a "Run Once" option to the Watch List menu on the toolbar. It will immediately run a single watch.
Fixed bug where importing OPML, that doesn't use <head> and/or <body> sections, was falling over.
Removed the functionality that automatically starts the Watch List when Firefox starts. It was causing too many problems that I couldn't solve.
Added a Start Watch List option to the Watch List menu. This is meant to kind-of replace the automatic starting of the Watch List.
Added a Stop Watch List option to the Watch List menu.
Added functionality to automatically close instances of Wizz RSS running in a window when the parent window closes. This is to prevent orphaned instances of Wizz RSS that was causing all sorts of problems.
Fixed bug where untrimmed home URLs was causing the feed title to disappear. Reported by Gene Linetsky.
Added a Feed Search button to the toolbar. The Feed Search function will ONLY find feeds and OPML that use the correct mime types. i.e. application/rss+xml, application/atom+xml and/or text/x-opml.
Fixed aesthetics problem with the tree when overwriting existing tree data with data restored from the server.
Added functionality to display feed names (As in Watch List > View Items) in the items pane. Feed names will not be displayed when items are sorted alphabetically, because it looks messy.
Limited the number of items in the Preview All window. Displaying too many items was causing Firefox to abend. The Preview All window now includes functionality to step through the previews 24 at a time.
Added functionality to prevent Preview All windows from being orphaned.
Added functionality to prevent Watch List > View Items windows from being orphaned.
Added functionality to prevent Weather windows from being orphaned.
Added functionality to keep the content of Preview All windows in sync with the various item lists they are opened against.
Fixed bug where podcast feeds without a item link was causing problems with the feed marking. Reported by Roger Rowe.
Fixed bug where OPML that contained an empty string for the text attribute was causing the OPML import to fall over. Reported by Ross MacLeod.
FINALLY I managed to resolve the conflict with the View Formatted Source extension.
Fixed the Feedster search interface so that pg2, pg3, etc., links on the results page work correctly.
Version 2.0.9
Added a "Dots" section to the 2nd tab of the Options window. Users can now select the colour of dot they'd like to use for indicating an item that has been read (Or even no dot at all). Hopefully this will now accommodate all combinations of colourblindness, visual handicaps, dirty glasses, colour tinted contact lenses, monitors with bad colour contrast, the fashion conscious and those who just like to complain :)
Made another change to the Watch List code which should make it marginally more efficient.
2.0.8 broke the Watch List highlighting of feeds. This has been fixed in 2.0.9 (Sorry, but once again you'll have to delete all Watch List items and re-add them). Reported by blahblah.
Fixed the bug that caused a running watch to abort when the Configure Watch List window was closed.
Added context menu item to clear news items from the Item Pane.
Changed the way that feeds are persisted across sessions. Will now correctly persist all feeds read by a category click.
Version 2.0.8
Fixed drag and drop problem where categories and channels could not be moved around the tree using drag and drop. Reported by many but thanks to Paul for providing the missing piece of the puzzle.
Modified the code so that operating systems that don't support @mozilla.org/alerts-service;1 will use a normal JavaScript alert.
Added ID attributes to a few of the XUL menuitem elements to accommodate the CuteMenus extension. Requested by Static_Rage.
Changed a big chunk of the Watch List code to make it more efficient. Hopefully this will solve many of the "unresponsive script" problems. Note to existing Watch List users: Please delete all feeds in your Watch List and re-add them. Re-adding the feeds will ensure that code changes become effective.
Fixed bug where opening Watch List > View Items would sometimes turn off the active border.
Fixed bug where deleted feeds where not being removed from the Watch List. Reported by VJ.
Fixed bug where Preview All function wasn't working from the Watch List View Items window. Reported by Robert Morrison.
Changed the blue read indicator to a red read indicator. Requested by the visually impaired :)
Font size used in the Verbose Description panes and the Preview All windows will now also follow the font size set in options.
Fixed bug where CDATA was not being processed correctly. Reported by Marc.
Version 2.0.7
Split the options in the options window onto three tabs. This was done to accommodate those who need real graphics cards and real monitors :)
Delayed "upgrade checking" by 30 seconds on startup to avoid possible tab conflict with Session Saver.
The first Watch List check will now run 60 seconds after startup (Rather than waiting Interval_Minutes before the first check). Thereafter, the Watch List will check every Interval_Minutes.
On activating the Watch List, it will immediately run it's first check (Rather than waiting Interval_Minutes before the first check).
Double clicking a feed will now direct the main browser window to the feed's home URL. i.e. The home URL as published in the feed itself.
Fixed up a few little Atom 1.0 bugs that no one seems to have noticed :)
Saving feeds to the Wizz server will now also persist feed status (i.e. Read or unread) and the feed's home URL.
OPML exports now includes the use of two proprietary attributes for persisting the feed's status and the feed's home URL.
The "Welcome page opened on new tab" message has been changed to alert a la Thunderbird's new mail message.
The "Watch list found new items" message has also been changed to alert a la Thunderbird's new mail message.
Added functionality to the Watch List. Viewing Watch List items will now group the items by feed and the feed title will be displayed above each group. Requested by Scott.
Not included in submisson to Extend Firefox Contest
Version 2.0.6
Fixed the server save function that 2.0.5 broke.
Made the drag and drop for adding feeds a bit smarter.
This time I really did fix the bug that wasn't allowing categories to be added to the root of the tree (See release notes for 2.0.4).
Tied up a few lose ends with the Watch List.
Version 2.0.5
Fixed XML character encoding problem that was causing some feeds not to persist correctly across sessions.
Fixed font colour problem where in some themes the font was white on light-gray.
Fixed OPML import bug reported by Patrick Schoenbach.
Changed code so that it'll be slightly more accommodating of feeds that don't comply with the standards. i.e. RSS feeds that have empty Channel Title tags.
Added Feedster search interface.
Version 2.0.4
Changed the way in which update checking is done. The extension now only checks with the Wizz server once a day.
Changed the way in which the "forced" display of the Welcome page works. The Welcome page now opens in a new tab and an alert will notify the user that some-or-other information is available on that tab.
Fixed bug where clicking on an empty part of the Category/Channel tree wasn't deselecting the currently selected tree item. Reported by Bold.
Added option to alert when the Watch List finds new news items. Requested/Suggested by Cameron.
Fixed bug where adding a category to the Watch List would also add the sub-category folder names. Adding a category will now only add the feeds.
Fixed two bugs that were causing Watch List feeds with action set to save, not to save.
Version 2.0.3
Fixed conflict with eWebMail Color and Graphics reported by Dean.
Fixed bug with up/down arrow key in the Category/Channel tree. Reported by dshills.
Added functionality to persist last feed between sessions.
Added "Preview All" functionality to Watch List Items.
Added option to use headline as email subject. Requested by Marlin Forbes.
Reinstated the toolbar button functionality as per ver. 1.1.3. Requested by Michael SteelWolf and Mikael (The functionality of the button used to toggle the Wizz toolbar was left untouched, but the icon was changed).
Finally worked out how to stop the toolbar appearing in popup windows.
Fixed bug where news items clicked in the "preview all" window wasn't updating the read/unread indicator.
Version 2.0.2
Fixed Atom parsing bug that was causing the wrong link URL to be read for an entry with more than one link. Reported by neo on 23 November.
Fixed Quick Read bug where a link to an invalid XML, dropped on the Item List, was causing Wizz RSS to look as if it was stuck in a loop.
Fixed a few other Atom feed funnies. Wizz RSS should be able to handle Atom 1.0 feeds now (Also, thanks to neo).
Version 2.0.1
Fixed bug that was causing the toolbar, after being hidden, to reappear when Firefox restarts.
Fixed bug with Mac OS X toolbar. I can't test on a real Mac because I don't own one, but 2.0.1 has been fully tested with Pear PC running Mac OS X v10.3.
Version 2.0.0
First release of version 2.0.0 with loads of stupid shit-heads blaming me for the upgrade bug in Firefox 1.0.7!
Version 1.9.6
Seventh beta release of version 2.0.0
Version 1.9.5
Sixth beta release of version 2.0.0
Version 1.9.4
Fifth beta release of version 2.0.0
Version 1.9.3
Forth beta release of version 2.0.0
Version 1.9.2
Third beta release of version 2.0.0
Version 1.9.1
Second beta release of version 2.0.0
Version 1.9.0
First beta release of version 2.0.0
Version 1.1.3
Fixed bug that was chopping off the last character of headings and descriptions of news items shared via email.
Version 1.1.2
The one alert that was missed in 1.1.1 has now also been removed.
Fixed Watch List bug where a single invalid feed XML would cause other valid XMLs not to be processed.
Fixed (I hope) the character encoding problem that was causing the Watch List Items window to be empty, even after the Watch List reported new items. Reported by many people.
Fixed the character encoding for feeds added to the Watch List as well as character encoding of items shown in the Watch List Items window.
Added feature to Share via Email; more than one email address can now be specified. Separate multiple email addresses with a semicolon(;). Requested by Pranab.
Added feature to Share via Email; the last email address will now be "remembered". Requested by Pranab.
Fixed character encoding in the emails sent through Share via Email.
Version 1.1.1
Fixed Mac OSX bug where the menu bar wasn't being displayed.
Fixed Mac OSX bug where drag and drop operations would cause Firefox to abend.
Added a context menu option to open news items in a new tab. This is especially for those who can't middle click :)
Removed all alerts for adding, renaming, deleting, etc. categories and channels. Messages will now be displayed in the Verbose Description area. I think this makes using the extension a lot easier, as alerts no longer need to be dismissed.
Added a feature to select the news item when the mouse hovers over it. This should make it easier for Mac users to Ctrl+Click on the correct news item.
Rather then relying on the kind help of Wizz RSS users to test functionality on the Mac, I have fully tested on Mac OSX 10.3 myself and all seems to be working perfectly.
Fixed sorting bug reported by maziacs and radek31.
Version 1.1.0
Fixed bug where invalid URLs dropped on the public list (i.e. Quick read function) would sometimes cause Wizz RSS to get stuck in a loop.
Fixed bug where dropped URLs with the HREF attribute delimited with single quotes, was reported as invalid.
Added ability to add Live Bookmarks by dragging them off the Firefox bookmarks sidebar. This will only work if Wizz RSS is open in a window and Firefox bookmarks are open in the sidebar.
Version 1.0.9
Removed more silly stuff that was left over from the early days of Wizz RSS. Wizz RSS should start a little quicker now.
Swapped the infamous spinning red triangle for the smaller throbber of the default theme. Requested by Manas (And many others). The "green dots" will just have to wait :)
Added an option to sort news items alphabetically. Requested by many people.
Added an option to limit the number of displayed news items. Requested by many people.
Fixed up a few outstanding localization issues.
Removed notification of successfully marking a category/channel as read/unread. Requested by "by cicle" and James Hunter.
Version 1.0.8
Added confirmation message for successful category drag and drop from the public list.
This time I really did fix the bug where clicking a 2nd channel before 1st channel had returned it's feed data, would append 2nd channel's items to the item list.
Fixed bug where not all items in the Watch List Items window were being flagged as read/unread.
Rearranged the code to properly accommodate localization (Boy! What a job!). Server-side code will still only return English messages.
Reworked a big chunk of the code. Made it more object orientated and undid a lot of silly things that were done in the early days of Wizz RSS.
Fixed up loads of JavaScript warnings.
Fixed up loads of uncaught exceptions.
Fixed bug where the options dialog would toggle navigation keys working correctly in the trees. Reported by haytjes.
Version 1.0.7
Fixed bug where empty image URL was returning a broken link for the image on the channel properties page.
Fixed bug where clicking a 2nd channel before 1st channel had returned it's feed data, would append 2nd channel's items to the item list.
Replaced all input dialogs with JavaScript prompts, except for Password and Add Channel Dialog. The JavaScript prompt can't hide the input, so I left the Password dialog. Adding a channel requires two pieces of information, so I left that one as well.
Set accept button on both password dialog and add channel dialog to be the default button. Requested by haytjes.
Cleaned up the code to mark/un-mark items and fixed a few bugs.
Simplified the popup menus by consolidating a number of different menu items.
Added feature to share news items and news feeds via email. Uses very basic SMTP and won't work if SMTP authentication is required.
Add Channel dialog no longer closes when an error is returned from the server. Requested by haytjes.
Version 1.0.6
Fixed the ampersand (&) bug, reported by dshillis, properly. The bug fix for Ver. 1.0.5 was just a quick-fix on the server side.
Fixed the plus sign (+) bug reported by Richard. URLs, category names and channel names that contained a plus sign were not being escaped correctly by the JavaScript escape() function.
Reduced the memory overhead for maintaining tree content.
Made trees more dynamic. i.e. On add/edit/rename/delete a channel/category, information is put directly into the tree rather than rereading it from the server. This reduces server I/O and means that tree node state (Expanded or collapsed) is not lost during these operations.
Fixed double slash (//) bug when clicking the Wizz Computers URL at the top of the main window.
Fixed bug where an already selected channel would sometimes be reread. Expanding or collapsing a tree node above the currently selected node would cause onselect to fire.
Added option to read all channels on a category click. Requested by many people.
Added feature to add a category and all of it's channels by dragging the category from the public list onto the private list. Requested by haytjes.
Added functionality to move channels between categories using drag and drop in the private list (It may not look too great but it works, I hope). Requested by many people.
Finally worked out how to get the popup menus to consistently open where the mouse is clicked.
Removed all of my ugly delete confirmation dialogs and replaced them with the normal JavaScript confirmation dialogs.
De-modal-ifyed the watch list items window. Requested by Laura. Please note: If you close Wizz RSS leaving the watch list items window orphaned, the watch list items window will not function correctly.
Version 1.0.5
Finally worked out how to populate the tree widgets without using RDF. Many thanks to Neil Rashbrook for the sample code. Both trees should now load a lot faster.
Because the trees are no longer tied into RDF, it is no longer necessary to get a list of channels from the server when marking a category as read/unread. This should make category marking a lot faster.
Because the trees are no longer tied into RDF (This effectively works around the XUL tree widget bug), the private tree will automatically be updated when adding/renaming/deleting categories and channels.
Because the private tree is updated automatically, it is now only necessary to click the refresh button when the user name and password are changed to access a different private list.
The main menu bar was compacted by grouping various menu items into menupopup widgets.
Added a "Release Notes" option the menu bar to easily view the release notes.
The Watch List was added. The Watch List allows for the periodic checking of channels for new news items. Each channel added to the Watch List can be configured to either notify the user of new news items or to save the new news items locally for offline reading.
Added the "Watch Indicator" - A visual indication of whether the Watch List is active (Watching) or not.
Fixed drag and drop bug where dropped URLs contained an ampersand (&). Thanks to dshillis for making me aware of this one. This bug has gone unnoticed since I first implemented drag and drop.
Version 1.0.4
Removed all attempts of trying to control the colour of various widgets. What looks nice in one theme doesn't necessarily look nice in another theme. I have tested with the default Firefox theme, Noia 2.0, Plastikfox Crystal SVG, Qute 3 and Silver Skin, and I think things look much better without my colours.
Got rid of my horrible buttons and replaced them with a toolbar. I don't know why I didn't do this ages ago because the extension looks much better.
Got rid of my horrible Refresh and Create Account buttons. Replaced all buttons on all tabs with toolbar buttons.
The Save Enclosure dialog is no longer modal which means that multiple enclosures can be saved simultaneously and that Wizz RSS will function normally while saving is in progress.
Added feature to bring tab panel to the top if user drags over the tab.
Added feature to add items to the private list by dragging them from the public list. Requested by many people.
Fixed problem with importing OPML exports from RSS Bandit. See posting in forum for more detail on this problem.
Added option to hide/show items that have been read. Requested by Nishit Dave.
Version 1.0.3
Fixed up the channel properties window to display the channel logo in the center of the iFrame.
Fixed up a few other little formatting problems.
Added an option to make the saving of the password optional. By default Wizz RSS will save the password
and it will be visible as clear text in about:config. If the option "Save Wizz RSS password" is not selected, only an empty string will be visible in about:config and Wizz RSS will prompt for a password when it starts up. Requested by Nishit Dave.
Added an option to hide/show the Account/Weather/OPML tab. Requested by haytjes.
Moved the option to hide/show the Public List tab into options.
Added facility to save enclosures. This should be pretty useful for iPod users. Requested by David K and Roy Kamen.
Due to the direct influence the options have on the extension, it is no longer possible to change the options through the Firefox Extensions window.
Version 1.0.2
Removed Alt+A shortcut key. Alt+W shortcut behaviour can now be configured (i.e. Open as window or open as sidebar) through options. Requested by Alan Gann.
Added an options button and an options form.
Added facility to hide the public list. The hidden public list will persist between sessions.
Moved all buttons off the public list. This is so that the public list can be hidden without losing the buttons.
Added facility to mark a single item as read/unread. Requested by Mike Kelly.
Version 1.0.1
Added the ability to open Wizz RSS in it's own separate window (Alt+A). I think low resolution users (800x600) should find this addition to be particularly useful. Feature requested by mayagrafix.
Added a pointer cursor to the Create Account button. I missed that one during the RC phase.
Added pointer cursors to the HTTP links.
Added an activity indicator (Spinning red triangle in the top right corner). Requested by Dan... Well Dan actually requested a wait mouse cursor, but for various reasons, a wait mouse cursor doesn't work too well. Note: - Because of their synchronous nature, some functions don't use the activity indicator. This is due to the fact that synchronous functions (The ones I've used anyway) don't yield to the UI which results in the activity indicator only being displayed after the synchronous call has been made. Fat lot of good that is huh?
Fixed bug: On adding a channel, if the URL was invalid, the Add Channel window never closed and didn't report the fact that the URL was invalid.
Version 1.0.0
Added the item description to the top of the verbose description. Requested by Fred Zimmerman. Well Fred actually requested that I wrap long descriptions but I couldn't do that. I offered to display long descriptions in a tooltip, but that didn't work too well either.
Version 0.5.8 (Version 1.0.0 RC 3)
Added integrated channel searching - Tied into Google.
Fixed a very minor bug: Windows opened from the public list popup menu weren't opening where they were supposed to open.
Version 0.5.7 (Version 1.0.0 RC 2)
Bug: On opening sidebar, when private list was the persisted tab, clicks on a channel were being ignored, was fixed. Reported by Erik.
Bug: Some HTML Anchor tags in the verbose item description were not responding to a middle-click, was fixed.
Version 0.5.6 (Version 1.0.0 RC 1)
Finally worked out how to make the tabs persist.
Finally worked out how to display the weather information with it's HTML markup while still controlling the style of the iframe.
Finally worked out how to display verbose item information that includes the HTML Anchor tag, where the target HREF is displayed in the browser rather than in the iframe.
Removed forcing the display of the Welcome page in preparation for release of Ver. 1.0.0. The extension will now only force the display of the Welcome page when new information is available.
Changed the cursor to a pointer on the image buttons.
Fixed a funny (As in haha) enclosure bug. An empty enclosure tag (<enclosure></enclosure>) was returning an enclosure URL = null, which happens to lead to Gary Null's Healthy Living web page. No wonder Gary loves Wizz RSS!
Version 0.5.5
Added style="overflow: auto;" to the sidebar vbox.
Added minheight to public list tree and to private list tree.
Version 0.5.4
Fixed the bug where drag-and-drop added feeds were requesting the remote XML twice.
Drew my own (pretty yucky) buttons to try and save a few pixels for those who have "real estate" problems.
Added FAQ, Feedback and Forum buttons.
If the feed provides a URL for a logo, the logo will now be displayed on the properties page.
Added support for the Feed protocol. The Feed protocol seems pretty pointless to me, but I've added support for it anyway.
Version 0.5.3
Added a right-click popup menu to the public list.
Added category and channel mark as read/unread to both the public list popup and the private list popup. Requested by many people.
Added a channel properties option to both the public list popup and the private list popup.
Changed the toolbar icon to a MUCH nicer icon supplied by Henning Diedrich :-) Thanks Henning!
Fixed a little bug with the read indicator for Podcast feeds.
Version 0.5.2
Fixed problem with modal dialogs for Mac users.
Changed shortcut key from Ctrl+Q to Alt+W.
Fixed OPML import from file bug (Have also fixed OPML import bugs on the server side).
Added a refresh button to the weather tab. Requested by "Nervix."
Changed the toolbar button icon to an icon very kindly supplied by Henning Diedrich :-) Thanks Henning!
Fixed a few uncaught exception errors.
Version 0.5.1
Fixed the bug with the read indicator on Podcast feeds where, if the item URL and the enclosure URL were the same, Wizz RSS was only showing partly read.
Added the Ctrl+Q shortcut key to open and close the sidebar.
Fixed up the problem where Mac users were unable to right-click (Ctrl-click) on the private list or on the item lists.
Version 0.5.0
Added height persistence of widgets on the Public and Private tabs. Requested by Panos Polyzoidis.
Added Podcast enclosure support. Requested by John Morris.
Added Atom 0.3 support. Requested by Fabrizio Pivari and Michael Ausbrook. I don't know if the Atom support is all that great but it's a start. Give me feedback if it doesn't work as expected, but be nice!
Fixed a tiny bug on importing OPML files. Some foreign characters where not being processed correctly. I have now tested extensively, even with languages like Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Hindi, Persian, Thai and Russian (To name a few) and the character encoding really seems to be sorted out. Would anyone like to try Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean?
Consolidated some of the tabs to make the sidebar more "real estate" friendly.
Replaced the rather complex management of categories and channels with a much easier right-click popup menu. Requested by Paul Doyle.
Added functionality to flag all items as read or unread. Requested by loads of people.
Moved User Name and Password fields to the top of the Account tab so people still having "real estate" problems will at least be able to find them.
Put the code through a despaghettification (My very own word) process. It's tighter now but probably still needs more work.
Added more "intelligence" to client-side code to deal with server-side errors.
Significantly reduced IO to server which should make the client more responsive.
Version 0.4.9
Fixed drag and drop bug where valid RSS URLs where being reported as invalid.
Fixed bug where drag and drop added feeds without a title caused empty channel name.
Made the message display during drag and drop operations, a bit smarter.
Sorted out the extension update button. The server side RDF was incorrect. The update button should work now.
Version 0.4.8
Added navigation key (Up and down arrows) support for selecting items. Requested by Rafael Cervera.
Added "Quick Read" function. Just drag and drop a valid RSS feed onto the public list.
Added drag and drop support for adding channels to the private list.
Added more intelligent channel verification when adding channels. It might be a bit slow.
Version 0.4.7
Added the help button.
Added multi-language support for weather reports.
Fixed bug where HTML tags were not being stripped out of the verbose description of the last item. Thanks to John Walker for this one.
Finally got the character encoding sorted out (I hope).
Version 0.4.6
Fixed mime/content problem with sites not setting it correctly in the HTTP header. Thanks to Dave Raggett and others for pursuing this one.
Fixed invalid RSS XML message for sites that were returning malformed URLs in their feeds. The problem was being caused by checking the history with a malformed URL. Firefox doesn't like this.
Shortened the text on the Tools dropdown and also on the toolbar button. Thanks to James Baker for this one.
Made the error handling a bit smarter. URLs that point at hosts that don't exist will now return an error rather than just doing nothing.
Moved both trees off that disgusting clunky RDF crap. Both trees are now fed with plain text and the RDF is constructed by the client.
Added OPML import and export support. Maybe a few of you can test this. I'm a bit worried about the UTF 8 encoding on the exports.
Fixed up a few little format/layout problems.
Added persisting of country and location for the weather reports. A number of different people asked for this one.
Added a delete all categories button.
Added a delete all channels button.
Fixed the character encoding mess that was going on between the client and the server.
There were a number of other little bug fixes. Too numerous to remember.
Version 0.4.5
A silly fix and I must apologize for simply forgetting that not everone runs
their monitor at the same resolution as I do (sheepish grin). I've changed the category and channel management tabs so that each function has it's own tab. Now, even at 800 x 600, users should be able to see the whole tab.
Version 0.4.4
Added an extension icon. No rude jokes about my artistic ability please :-)
Added a toolbar button (Requested by Lindsay Olddfield). To use the button, in Firefox, click View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the button onto a toolbar.
Added functionality to move channels between categories (Requested by Amos).
Bug - Clicking Channel tab after changing user name and password (Category dropdown list not being refreshed correctly) was fixed.
Version 0.4.3
Click on item opens item detail in current tab. Middle-click on item opens item detail in new tab.
Item read/unread indicator added.
Version 0.4.2
Fixed a few minor formatting problems.
Removed the refresh button from the public list.
Made some of the IO functions a bit smarter to reduce load on the server and to make the client interface a bit faster.
Version 0.4.1
Bug (all new channels being added to first category) reported by Corrado Morbarigazzi was fixed.
Version 0.4.0
Substantial rework of the User Interface.
Added the ability for users to create and maintain there own private lists.
Version 0.3.3
Fixed bug where channels without a description was generating an error. Will now display "No Description."
I really didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to provide an RSS feed with channel items that have no item title.
Mmmmmm... We live and learn. Anyway, I fixed that one too.
Version 0.3.2
Made the RSS XML parsing a bit "smarter."
Fixed the RSS version display. Shoudldn't display "unknown" anymore.
Fixed a few error messages that were not being displayed.
Version 0.3.1
Clicking links included in the news item description was displaying the link in the description iframe.
This has been changed so that the result is displayed in the correct iframe.
Version 0.3.0
Added weather reports.
Changed all XMLHttpRequest calls to be asynchronous (As per suggestion from Nickolay).
Fixed problem with Add Category and Add Channel buttons not going back to the first page after adding something.
Changed news item description to use an iframe (Was a textbox).
Version 0.2.2
Fixed pages that break out of an iframe.
Version 0.2.1
This page was added.
Release notes moved onto this page.
Fixed problem with item titles and item descriptions sometimes being out of sync.
Version 0.2
Fixed problem with sites that return XML in RDF format.
Fixed headline text formatting problem.
Fixed news item description text formatting problem.
The Headlines listbox scrollbar behavior was fixed.
Changes made to correctly read XML feeds from sites that that don't return the correct content type.
Release notes added.
Version 0.1
