Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is an RSS/RDF news aggregator which also
supports CDF channels, Atom/Echo/PIE feeds, and OCS directories. It's
intended to be a clone of the Windows-only FeedReader. It can be used to
maintain a list of subscribed feeds, browse and search through their items,
and displays their contents using GtkHTML.
Feeds are now saved permanently, newly downloaded items are
merged with the old item list. To do so <item rdf:about="...">
and <guid> support was added. With this finally implemented
the program should now have the most important features
for regular usage.
Liferea now support a two pane mode to view all items of
a feed at once.
Added new items provided by mezz7.
The program now uses libxml's xmlRecover* functions to
read even buggy feeds.
Task #2240 (Bookmarks check) is 30% ok. This is a very experimental
feature. Bug reports and freature requests are welcome :-) For the moment,
only XBEL format can be checked and bookmarks can not be modified (there is
also some encoding problems).
"pixmaps" directory has been removed. Pictures are now under "ui"
directory, with glade file. Maintainers should adapt their packages.
Gaim plugin which enable you hear your incoming messages using voice
synthesis.
Añadido de gaim que permite escuchar los mensajes que recibas, usando
síntesis de voz.
Fixed bug 124172. The "+" character on a German keyboard is on the lower
level of a key (i.e. the Shift key doesn't need to be down). Added another
mask/keysym pair to the "+" entry to handle this.
Fixed bug 120737. Changed the accessible text for the OR button from
"Logical OR" to "logical OR" so that it's not changed by FreeTTS's
token to words module to "logical Oregon".
Fixed bug #123948. Removed the GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED flag to allow the
depreciated GtkItemFactory, to successfully build against latest Gtk+.
Fixed bug 123724. Hitting Esc now does the same as hitting
Control-Backspace; i.e. the CE (clear entry) functionality.
Fixed enhancement #65806. Changed that label for e^x (e superscript x) to
use an italised "e".
Fixed bug 118826. The keyboard shortcuts for the six hex. digits are
now "A" to "F". The functions that previously used those letters have
been reassigned to their lowercase equivalents.
Fixed bug 122408. The tooltips for the numeric buttons (0-9) have been
removed as they are redundant.
Fixed bug 120749. When gcalctool is displaying a menu, typing Alt+Tab
can no longer switch windows.
Gaim plugin which enable you hear your incoming messages using voice
synthesis.
Añadido de gaim que permite escuchar los mensajes que recibas, usando
síntesis de voz.
Since 2.4.0 was so perfect we've had to release another version. There
have been several translation updates and some bugs fixed. The
most user-visible change is that gnotravex doesn't crash when asked to
give a hint.
