- Disabled some menu items that are not relevant if tabbed browsing is disabled.
- The Delete Channels And Folders dialog unchecks channel filters if they are not going to be deleted.
It was confusing to see the filters checked even though they weren't going to be deleted.
- Tweaked the way the Cleanup Channels dialog handles channels that have not received any feeds.
- Optimized some metadata modules.
They will only be applied to certain feeds (e.g. it only makes sense to check for Digg metadata in feeds coming from digg.com).
- Fixed a crash if a user tool is selected from the Tools menu and no browser tabs are open.
- File-type parameters in property lists can now have a default extension and file filters configured.
- Awasu extensions can now specify a help file.
This covers plugin channels, channel hooks, application plugins and external sync services (feed services can already do this).
- Got the "Show As HTML" button in the Channel Wizard error dialog working again.
- Fixed an HTML problem that was stopping the metadata modules help from showing in IE.
- Fixed a minor issue with how some errors get logged.
- Fixed a rare problem that could cause Awasu to inexplicably crash and/or cause inconsistencies in the archive database.
If you ever had a crash, especially at startup when channels were updating, that was cleared by deleting your ARCHIVE.DB file, there's a good chance it was being caused by this problem.
- Added a way to quickly add/remove channels from the Favorites.
This can now be done from the Favorites menu or by right-clicking on a channel's browser tab.
- Fixed a problem that was causing long-running progress dialogs to stop showing progress messages after a while.
- Optimized processing of deferred search index updates.
This happens when you restrict search index updates to either when channel updates are blacked out or to specific times. The speed-up is around 50x so it's now feasible to do this manually via the "Update now" button in the Archive page of the Program Options dialog.
- Fixed a memory leak.
- Made sure all browser tabs are completely gone before offering to show the channel packs to new users.
- Fixed a problem in the Personal Edition that was stopping the Plugin tab of the Channel Properties dialog from opening once the maximum number of plugin channels (3) had been created.
- Made items in channel summary pages individually-scrollable (horizontally) in IE7 only.
This was originally done to work around a problem in IE7 relating to how it shows the horizontal scrollbar but was turned on for IE 6 and up. However, it doesn't work too well if the item is also tall since you have to scroll down to get to the horizontal scrollbar, then scroll back up to continue reading so this hack is now only turned on in IE7.
- Fixed a problem with how encrypted values are stored in config files when Awasu is running in portable mode.
- 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.
- The "Optimize archive database" report is always generated (and saved in OptimizeResults.html), even if the user chooses not to look at it.
