Changes since 2.1b33
NewsGator Syncing
Better handling of outages or unreachable via network
When NewsGator can’t be reached for whatever reason, a sheet appears telling you that it can’t be reached and that NetNewsWire will retrieve feeds from the original sources. It also says that it will attempt to connect to NewsGator again on the next refresh.
The sheet has a don’t-show-this-again checkbox, so you don’t have to see it every time.
Importantly, there is also an error indicator when NewsGator can’t be reached—it appears under the subscriptions list. Click it to attemp to sync (it does a refresh-all). So, if you’re fine with just the indicator, you can click the don’t-show-this-message checkbox when you see the sheet.
Also, we made a change which should cut down further on seeming reruns when NetNewsWire reads directly from the source when it can’t reach NewsGator.
NewsGator Syncing and https
Now using https to encrypt calls that get or send your subscriptions list.
Misc.
Feed downloading and https proxies
NetNewsWire’s feed downloader now supports https proxies.
French localization
Included French localization from Corentin, Josy, and Philippe. Also credited them in About box.
Crasher fixed
Probably fixed a crashing bug usually related to downloading favicons.
Atom updated dates
NetNewsWire now handles the case of Atom entries that have an updated date but no published date. It was displaying the arrival date instead of the updated date—now it’s displaying the updated date. (Not a parser bug, a UI bug.)
