Awasu 2.3.3.alpha1
IMPORTANT: This is an alpha release (what's this?).
Some features may not be complete and there will probably be bugs!
You must be already running 2.3.2.
To install:
- Read the release notes below first!
- Backup your Awasu installation directory and keep it, even if the alpha appears to work correctly.
- Unpack one (!) of the following zips on top of your existing installation:
- Run admin.exe to upgrade your database (this will be quick).
River Of News
Awasu now has the ability to show feed content as a river of news
(i.e. multiple feed items on a single page) or only one item at a time.
River Of News is how Awasu has always worked in the past but one-item-at-a-time
is common with other feed readers (that are trying to emulate email programs).
I find it a much slower way of getting through my feeds but people have been asking for it,
so here it is.
If you turn River Of News off, Awasu will automatically mark items as read
as you move through them (pressing SPACE will do this) so you may want to try
configuring your channels to only show unread content.
Opening channels at startup
Awasu can now be configured to automatically open channels when it starts up.
Choose one or more folders in the Program Options dialog and Awasu will automatically
open all the channels contained in them each time it starts.
Minor changes and bug fixes
- Fixed a crash when trying to open a browser tab using Mozilla but the ActiveX control has not been installed.
- Fixed a problem when Control-clicking on an item in the item pane when using Mozilla as the embedded browser.
- Switched to Outbrain's production environment (instead of their test environment :-|).
- Make sure the ad-blockers get activated, even if their download fails.
- Pause balloons temporarily if they are closed/cancelled manually.
- Ensure something remains selected in the Expired Channels dialog after channels are extended/kept/deleted.
- Fixed a problem that was causing the unread item counts in My Channels to become incorrect after time.
