Note for Blackberry: uninstall before installing!

Install from:

http://t.mwap.at

Changes:

- NEW: Change Feeds and Articles view to scroll by line if "Scroll by page" is turned off.
- NEW: Added new setting in Display: "Enable 'Access links' always in Full Story". This will force the app to start in "Access links" mode when viewing a full story.
- NEW: Reduced memory consumption when downloading data
- Added support for our new FavIcon loading mechanism. It's much faster and more resource efficient.
- Switched the secondary question view items to be left-aligned instead of centered.
- Now in "Add Feed by Url", you don't have to enter the feed title
- Fixed a bug where full story was deleted only after both the later version and article itself was deleted. Before it would delete the full story if either of them were deleted.
- Fixed bug in Feeds view where naming folder 8830 and/or starting feed name with a single quote doesn't display right
- Fixed up colors for some themes, especially the "Darkness" theme.
- Improved application performance slightly

Blackberry:

- NEW: Took out scrollbar and replaced with the standard Blackberry scrolling arrows at the top and bottom of the screen.
- NEW: For "Flash LED" option, now flash for 60 seconds instead of 10.
- Added support for Blackberry Email. It's available within the Send menu and also can be set as the only approach via "Settings -> Only use Blackberry Email for Send".
- Fixed slow launch time. It now starts instantly.
- Space key will now always do a page-down, even if app is set to scroll-by-line. Alt-Space now does a page-up instead of move-to-background. Move-to-background is now Alt-Del.
- Added new setting: "Download -> Notify when new articles are downloaded after Update". Its options are: "None", "Play sound", "Vibrate" or "Flash LED".
- Added support to capture trackball scrolling on the X-axis in image zoom (in addition to the Y-axis).
- Added rollover icon support

Better than Bloglines?

akosnitzky · 07-17-2007, 10:27 PM

I clicked the link. My choices are parent directory, cgi-bin and test.

onth · 07-17-2007, 10:31 PM

it works fine for me.

try http://freerangeinc.com/m/?u=&p=&w=1...host=f.mwap.at

Was hoping for the ability to save archive feeds to the memory card. They said it is a possibility for a future release, hopefully we'll see it soon. I still love this app though.

cayzac · 07-18-2007, 05:10 AM

Under "Settings" what does "Use Test Server" mean?

deficitism · 07-18-2007, 06:30 AM

<3 Freerange

gibber9583 · 07-18-2007, 06:51 AM

This release is getting close to the 'perfect' rss reader...I am not sure if i can think of any more features that I'd like?

I know someone had mentioned saving articles to a memory card....anyone think of anything else?

All of the issues i had with the previous release have been fixed in this release and then some!

deficitism · 07-18-2007, 07:03 AM

Heres my only suggestion

Add a feature that allows automatic opening of links in freerange or browser.

Option 1: Always open links in freerange.

Option 2: Always open links in browser

Other than that. This product is perfect!

Thank you for the link. I did install the program. It is far better than Viigo. My recollection tells me that this program allowed up to 10 feeds in its free version

OrganicBerry · 07-18-2007, 08:42 AM

Absolutely love this!

gibber9583 · 07-18-2007, 08:47 AM

You are correct. The free version does offer 10 feeds. Unlimited if you do sign up for their program.

I'm sure if you give this a shot you will agree that this far surpasses Viigo.

Your memory serves you well. 10 feeds in the free version.

BobMarley · 07-18-2007, 09:36 AM

I installed it, and I have more than 10 feeds...
what's the deal?

Did you purchase FR or were one of the 25 beta subs that were given away?

akosnitzky · 07-18-2007, 10:51 AM

What is the price for multiple feeds? Bloglines is free and gives me unlimited feeds. Too bad I missed out on the 25 feed option mentioned above.

gibber9583 · 07-18-2007, 10:54 AM

FreeRange Communications for info on pricing. It is a bit pricey for unlimited feeds, but it blows away bloglines in terms of design,style, and functionality.
