Vienna 2.3.0 beta available (not for OS X 10.3 Panther)

Postby jeff_johnson_dev » Sun Jun 01, 2008 10:45 am

The Vienna development team is happy to announce the release of the first beta version of Vienna 2.3.0. Note that this is a test version and not a final release, so use it at your own risk. As always, please backup your files before installing new software, especially beta software.

Warning: Vienna 2.3 does not support Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. The 2.3.0 beta will not launch on Panther. Panther users can continue to use Vienna 2.2.2 indefinitely, and you should turn off the preference "Check for newer versions of Vienna on start up", because we won't be releasing any new versions of Vienna for Panther. We apologize to Panther users, but now that Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has been released, it is difficult to support three OS versions at once. The other major problem is that I don't currently have a Mac that can run Panther, so it's impossible for me to test Vienna on Panther.

The Vienna 2.3.0 beta is available for download at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=142635&package_id=157268&release_id=603612. We encourage beta testers to report any bugs you find. Please post a separate topic for each bug, to make it easier to track the bug. Tips for writing a good bug report can be read at http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9210. Thanks for testing!

Here are the change notes from Vienna 2.2.2:
  • Drop Mac OS X 10.3 Panther support. Vienna 2.3 needs 10.4 or greater to launch.
  • Add folder ordering option (manually or by name).
  • Improvement to Send Link for multiple links and escaped characters. (Patch from Anmol Khirbat).
  • Change standard product URLs to the new http://www.vienna-rss.org web site.
  • Bug fix: Truncated Headings in LA Times Feeds
  • Bug fix: Unescaped HTML in titles.
  • Bug fix: Incorrect document URL shown after downloads.
  • Bug fix: Option-clicking the close tab widget closed the main Articles tab.
  • Add Kaku http://ppmweb.lolipop.jp/apps/kaku to the list of supported blog editors.

This is looking superb! Now I hope Vienna and Google Reader (OPML, or API) will sync!!! I *love* Vienna, but it's a pain to have two separate readers. Thanks!
