C: RSS feed reader
Description:
C: >-
<p>Liferea is an abbreviation for Linux Feed Reader. It is a news aggregator for
online news feeds. It supports a number of different feed formats including
RSS/RDF, CDF and Atom. There are many other news readers available, but these
others are not available for Linux or require many extra libraries to be
installed. Liferea tries to fill this gap by creating a fast, easy to use,
easy to install news aggregator for GTK/GNOME.

<p>Features introduced with 1.14:</p>
<p>
Many thanks to all the contributors and package maintainers that made this possible!
</p>
<ul>
<li>Internal Browser
New 'Reader mode' preference that allows stripping all web contentImplement support for Webkits
Intelligent Tracking ProtectionNew progress bar when loading websitesYoutube videos from media:video can be embedded
now with a click on the video preview picture.Changes to UserAgent handling: same UA is now used for both feed fetching
and internal browsing. User agent now indicates Android+Mobile per default
instead of suggesting a Linux desktop to better adapt to the smaller
(in comparison to browsers) rendering pane. Additionally special env
vars LIFEREA_UA and LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS now also affect the internal
browsing.</li>
<li>GUI
New view mode 'Automatic' which switches between 'Normal' and 'Wide' mode
based
on the window proportions.Liferea now supports the new GTK dark theme logic, where in the GTK/GNOME preferences
you define wether you "prefer" dark mode or light modeFavicon discovery improvements: now detects
all types of Apple Touch Icons, MS Tile
Images and Safari Mask IconsIncrease size of stored favicons to 128x128px to improve icon quality in 3-pane
wide view.Make several plugins support gettextAllow mutiple feed in same libnotify notificationRedesign of the update
message in the status bar. It now shows a
update counter of the feeds being in update.You can now export a feed to XML fileAdded an option to show
news bins in reduced feed listAdded menu option to send item per mail</li>
<li>Feed parsing
Default to https:// instead of http:// when user doesn't
provide protocol on subscribing feedImplement support for subscribing to LD+Json metadata
listings e.g. concert or theater event listingsImplement support for subscribing to HTML5 websitesSupport
for media:description field of Youtube feedsImprove HTML5 extraction: extract main tag if it exists and no article was
found.Execute feed pipe/filter commands asynchronouslyBetter explanation of feed update errors.</li>
<li>Online services
Added generic Google Reader API support (allows using FeedHQ, FreshRSS, Miniflux...)Now allow converting
TinyTinyRSS subscriptions to local subscriptions</li>
<li>Search folders
New search folder rule to match podcastsNew search folder rule to match headline authorsNew search folder
rule to match subscription sourceNew search folder rule to match parent folder nameNew search folder property that allows
hiding read itemsNow search folders are automatically rebuild when rules are changed</li>
<li>Plugins
Added new plugin 'add-bookmark-site' that allows to configure a custom bookmarking site.Added
new plugin 'getfocus' that adds transparency on the feed list when it is not focussed.Trayicon plugin has
now a configuration option to change the behaviour when closing Liferea.Trayicon plugin has now an option to disable
minimizing to tray</li>
<li>Hotkeys
New hot key Ctrl-D for 'Open in External Browser'New hot key F10 for headerbar plugin to allow
triggering the hamburger menuNew hot key Ctrl-0 to reset zoomNew hot key Ctrl-O to open enclosures</li>
</ul>
<p>Important bugfixes</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixing hidden panes:
Many Liferea users did suffer from invisible pane (e.g. a minimized feed list
or HTML view) upon startup. With certain desktop environments / themes making
the pane grips invisible it is hard to grip the correct pixel to restore a pane.
Now Liferea will never allow the panes to be smaller than 5% in height or width
regarding to there orientation. If a pane is smaller than 5% height/width it will be
set to 30% width or 50% height on startup.
</li>
<li>
Wait for network to be fully available before updating: sometimes when real internet
access takes longer to come up then your WLAN connection Liferea did update feeds to
early resulting in errors. Now Liferea waits for full internet connection.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Deprecations</p>
<ul>
<li>2-pane mode was removed</li>
<li>Dropped CDF channel support</li>
<li>Dropped Atom 0.2/0.3 (aka Pie) support</li>
<li>Dropped blogChannel namespace support</li>
<li>Dropped photo namespace support</li>
</ul>
- version: 1.13.9
type: stable
unix-timestamp: 1658793600
description:
C: >-
<p>This will be the last unstable release before the first 1.14 release candidate. It contains
bugfixes and a generalization of the Google Reader API implementation we already had
for TheOldReader. This implementation was improved, fixing some bugs and can now
be used with arbitrary Google Reader services.
</p>
<p>New features: Google Reader API support
If you are a FeedHQ, FreshRSS, Basquz user or a a user of any other Google Reader
compatible service, you can now subscribe to those services.
Note: it currently doesn't work with Miniflux due to this miniflux/v2#1498
which is probably a bug in Miniflux. Once it is solved Miniflux also can be used.
If you experience any issues please open a ticket for support!
</p>
<p>GUI simplification: less cluttered item list
The item list has seen some rework. The quite large left padding (cause by reserved space
for expansion header) is now gone. Also the enclosures icon column was dropped. When
using Liferea in wide mode this really gives back a lot of vertical space, so Liferea in wide mode
becomes more useful half-maximized or in split screen situations.
Please give feedback how you like the change, especially the rather small padding left of the
favicon column (when in wide mode)!
</p>
<p>Changes</p>
<ul>
<li>Update to Readability.js 0.41 (better image and table handling) (Lars Windolf)</li>
<li>Changes to UserAgent handling: same UA is now used for both feed fetching
and internal browsing. User agent now indicates Android+Mobile per default
instead of suggesting a Linux desktop to better adapt to the smaller
(in comparison to browsers) rendering pane. Additionally special env
vars LIFEREA_UA and LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS now also affect the internal
browsing.</li>
<li>Improve HTML5 extraction: extract main if it exists and no article was found</li>
<li>#1117: Hide unused expander space in item list. This saves horizontal space. (Sefler Zhou)</li>
<li>Drop enclosure icon from item list. This saves horizontal space. (Lars Windolf)</li>
<li>#515, #962, #1113 adds generic Google Reader API support (this enables access to FeedHQ, FreshRSS, Miniflux...)</li>
<li>#1108, #113: Improve performance by different check order in itemset merging (suggested by mozbugbox)</li>
<li>Fixes #1033: Subscribing defaulted to HTML5 feeds even when real feeds do exist. (reported by Hanno Braun)</li>
<li>Fixes #1111: wrong base URI in reader mode (Lars Windolf)</li>
<li>Fixes #1112: Image duplication caused by feeds providing an image link which is also in the item description as
additional metadata. (Lars Windolf)</li>
<li>Update of Dutch translation (Gert-dev)</li>
