There is a new version of NetNewsWire available. The point of NetNewsWire 2.1.1 is to fix bugs—new features will appear in NetNewsWire 3.0 (which will be a free upgrade). Here are the changes from 2.1 (comedy included - thanks Brent):- Combined View Fixed (at least partly) a spacing bug some people were seeing in the Combined View. (Note that the Combined View has been re-written for NetNewsWire 3.0, and this bug will definitely be gone in 3.0.)
- Enclosures Fixed bug where enclosures could be re-downloaded in certain circumstances.
- When downloading an enclosure, if the name of a feed starts with a ., don’t use the . in the folder name, since that makes it invisible.
- File Downloads window Instead of a gear menu is a Clear button, since that’s what people keep asking for. (And it’s a good idea. And it’s what browsers tend to do, so it’s familiar, hence “intuitive.”)
- If you click Download in an enclosure view, and the file downloads window is already open, it will not force itself to the front.
- Subscriptions list It’s now written to disk at shutdown no matter what—because there are little things (like expansion states) that may have changed but that don’t otherwise mark the subscription list as dirty.
- Traditional View When the tabs bar is hidden or shown, the horizontal splitter separating the table from the description pane now doesn’t move, which feels nicer. In a related change, the splitter no longer creeps downward every time you restart (when you have one or more browser tabs).
- Email Contents command This menu item is now permanently disabled on 10.3.9, since it doesn’t actually work on 10.3.9. (It relies on a feature that was added to Mail in 10.4.)
- Browser Fixed a bug where sometimes a redirected page would not be reflected in the browser URL field.
- .Mac/FTP syncing Fixed a bug where syncing might not work because the prefs could appear on (sync subs list, sync news items, sync tabs) when they were in fact off. Fixed by setting default prefs for these items.
- NewsGator Sync Error sheet If the sync error sheet is already showing, and another error happens, don’t try to show it again, since this can cause hangs and confusion.
- Post to del.icio.us Added WebnoteHappy to list of apps you can use for post to del.icio.us. (It should work to send items to WebnoteHappy Lite too, though the Lite version doesn’t post items to del.icio.us. Yes, the menu item “Post to del.icio.us” is increasingly inapt, but it’s still the best name. For now.) (Yes, adding WebnoteHappy is actually adding a small new feature, but, really, wasn’t it a bug that WebnoteHappy wasn’t included in the first place?
- Send to VoodooPad If you have VoodooPad installed on your system, there is a Send to VoodooPad command (with a keyboard shortcut) in the News menu. The command should work with VoodooPad Lite, the full version, and the new (in beta) Pro version. (Okay, this for sure is a new feature rather than a bug fix. But, really, 2.1.1 is about bug fixes.)
