Release Notes

Added:

  • Highlighting the Windows taskbar after feed-fetching errors can now be disabled in settings.
  • Article and feed list titles now use available horizontal space by default.
  • Feed fetching can now be paused or resumed from the tray icon menu. When paused and there are no unread articles, a pause symbol is shown in the tray icon and Windows taskbar badge.
  • Windows taskbar previews can now show buttons for pausing feed fetching, fetching all feeds, and opening settings.
  • Article filters can now be generated with a visual rule builder for common conditions and actions, without writing JavaScript. (#930)
  • Article-list notifications can now switch pages with the mouse wheel while hovering the article list.
  • Custom skin colors can now be reset all at once to the colors defined by the current skin.
  • Image height optional limit returns. Now you can set image height separately for enclosures and for main article content. (#2339)
  • Show some additional information when hovering author/feed/date header in article previewer. (#2346)
  • Minimal-* skins now have separator drawn between article header and article body. (#2345)
  • RSS Guard now asks for confirmation before assigning or removing an article filter for all feeds in a folder or by using "Check all"/"Uncheck all". (#2355)
  • Errors in article filters (like bad syntax) now causes the feed marked as failed (instead of failing silently like it was up until now). Fixed:
  • Importing from RSS Guard 4.x now preserves feeds with the same URL in different folders. (#2155)
  • Article preview URLs with anchors now open the complete original address. (#2367)
  • Article-list column layouts are now saved reliably when switching between feeds and folders.
  • Article viewer now stays visible when configured to do so.
  • Article list order is now stable when articles have identical values in the selected sort columns. (#2361)
  • Article-list notifications now handle paging more reliably.
  • Errors preventing an account's feeds from starting to update are now reported correctly.
  • Failed loading of articles no longer crashes the application when no feed or folder is selected.
  • Weekly article filters now handle local dates and the New Year boundary correctly.
  • Database cleanup errors no longer leave the cleanup dialog unusable.
  • Incompatible external databases no longer cause an unintended fallback to a new local database.
  • Articles with custom metadata containing special characters are now stored correctly.
  • MariaDB databases with special characters in their names are now handled correctly.
  • Invalid article-filter results no longer cause incoming articles to be silently discarded.
  • Article-filter duplicate checks now handle large accounts much faster, particularly when isAlreadyInDatabase* functions are used.
  • Testing an article filter with a folder or account selected no longer crashes when the filter accesses feed details.
  • Article filters now handle malformed XML data correctly.
  • Article-filter testing no longer crashes when no account or feed is available.
  • Failed article-filter saves no longer leave the active filter out of sync with its saved version.
  • Invalid article-filter import files now report an error instead of appearing to import successfully.
  • Failed article-filter removals no longer leave the active filtering state inconsistent.
  • Failed article-filter assignment changes no longer leave feeds in an inconsistent state.
  • Deferred article-state synchronization is now checked safely while accounts are updating.
  • Deleting an account now also removes its pending article-state cache.
  • Repeated MariaDB connection tests no longer leave temporary database connections behind.
  • Database worker cleanup is now handled safely during application shutdown.
  • Manually processing existing articles with a filter now preserves filter changes to their read state.
  • Gmail plugin now correctly fills-in full e-mail address of a recipient when the recipient is selected from drop-down list of recipients.
  • Miniflux sends "weird" enclosure information, so tweak was made to account for it. (#2354)
  • Row state is updated more properly when switching article importance. (#2341)
  • Wrong filtering indication when there was no active filter in feed list. (#2352)
  • Fixed some cache-related problems when editing accounts.
  • Vulkan SDK library is deployed now on Windows if needed. (#2350)
  • When opening article with external tool from article list, it will get marked if the behavior is enabled in settings. (#2344)
  • When an article is unread and is "selected" via right-mouse click then the column sorting or phrase filtering does not mark the article read anymore. (#2347)
