The Awasu DevLog

Fixed a problem with importing channels that you are already subscribed to from an external source.

Got the Google Reader sync plugin going again.

Optimized the upgrade process.

Code complete? Ha!

There's always one more bug that needs to be fixed :-/

ADMIN now shows better progress feedback in the UI when doing a lengthy upgrade.

Fixed some inefficiencies in the upgrade process if multiple Awasu users are found.

Awasu now lets you request a new trial key if your old one expired long enough ago

Woo hoo, that's code complete!

Handle trial keys that have been messed up by some email clients

I'm looking at you, Hotmail >:-(

Optimized a post-processing step after importing channels

Awasu used to spin for ages after importing lots of channels, especially if there were a lot of folders but this has been sped up considerably.

Awasu's UI is also more responsive during the import process.

Fixed a problem that was causing channel report FTP username/passwords to be reset every time Awasu was sync'ed.

Fixed a problem that was stopping user tools and send-to tools from having explicitly-assigned menu accelerators.

Downloading enclosures is now enabled for channels by default.

Fixed a possible crash if a report includes a channel that has not received any updates.

Tweaked the way sync works.

In particular, Awasu no longer tries to sync user/account names and passwords.

Changed the default location where output files are saved.

Awasu used to default to saving reports, enclosures, etc. in My Documents/Awasu but this has been changed to My Documents.

Fixed an extremely rare problem where Awasu could start chewing up all the CPU if an error occured while generating a report.

Fixed a problem that was stopping the "Always show channels with update errors in My Channels" switch from working with channel filters that had folders defined.

This is a bit of a high-risk change given that 2.4 is about to be released so the bug fix is disabled by default. Post in the forums if you are being affected by this problem and I'll give you the necessary incantations to turn the fix on.

Fixed a problem that was stopping middle mouse button actions from being saved across sessions correctly.

This only happened for new users so no-one should have been affected by this bug.

Added a "Validate feed" button to the Errors page in the Channel Properties dialog.

UI settings can now be reset from the Awasu Administration tool.

This means that the ResetUi.exe tool is no longer necessary.

Data files and settings for Awasu uses can now be deleted from the Awasu Administration tool.

Turned on support for sync'ing via SIAM

This has always been there, just disabled by default.

Got the Channel Hooks sub-menu in the My Channels context menu going again.

Save font settings across sessions correctly.

Forum post

New channel reports now come up with the correct default settings.

Lots of minor UI tweaks.

Tweaked the channel report layouts.

Reports can now define additional template parameters.

This allows multiple reports to share the same template file but generate different output, depending on what parameters have been defined.

The "Optimize archive database" report is always generated (and saved in `OptimizeResults.html`), even if the user chooses not to look at it.

Timestamps can now be shown relative to a timezone other than the current one.

Template paramaters such as {%ITEM-METADATA% timestamp} now recognize an extra timezone parameter which specifies the GMT offset you want to show the timestamp relative to.

For example, if you live in Melbourne, Australia and receive an item at 10pm but want to show the time as GMT (i.e. 1pm) , use "timezone=0" but if you want to show the time in New York (which is GMT -5, so it would be 8am), use "timezone=-5".

If no "timezone=..." parameter is present, the timestamp will be shown in the local time (i.e. the current behaviour), 10pm in the example above.

Fixed a problem with how encrypted values are stored in config files when running portable mode.
