EDITOR NOTES
MacUpdate RSS: http://www.macupdate.com/mommy/macsurferx.xml
DESCRIPTION
NetNewsWire is an easy-to-use RSS and Atom newsreader for Mac OS X. Its familiar three-paned interface—similar to Apple Mail—can fetch and display news from thousands of different websites and weblogs, making it quick and easy to keep up with the latest news. Features include:
  • A tabbed browser lets you read web pages with the convenience of staying in the same window.
  • Search your news items with a standard Apple search widget, like in Mail and other applications.
  • Downloads podcasts and enclosures, and sends podcasts to iTunes with with your choice of genre and playlist.
  • The flagged items feature lets you mark items that you want to keep -- they stay forever or until you mark them as unflagged.
  • Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) compatible, and includes Automator actions to control functions in NetNewsWire.
  • Other features include syncing, smart lists, search subscriptions, built-in styles, and AppleScript support.
  • Includes a built-in categorized list of feeds that can be easily subscribed to.
  • If NetNewsWire Lite is already running, quit it before running NetNewsWire.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.1.7b7:
  • Fixed a bug where opening the preferences window could cause NetNewsWire to ask for your FTP syncing password, even though you don't use FTP syncing. I think. (I couldn't get it to happen on my machine, so I'm flying a little blind. Fix makes sense, though.)
  • Removed microformats feature. I was going to wait till 3.2, but decided to do it now. (Less code, fewer resources, better performance loading HTML.)
  • Updated French localization.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

E_COMMERCE  Since upgrading to Safari 4, some of the CSS layouts are broken (Spotlight, for one). Not sure where I can file a bug.

SCOTT FANNEN  When I tried RSS readers a few years back I thought "why?" - it seems to easy to go through my favourite bookmarks on my Mac and I am quite the multiple-tab browsing fanatic.

Then, I used this in combination with my new iPhone. While a great piece of software in itself, this is the iTunes to the NetNewsWire for iPhone's iPod.

It makes it easy to add and organise your RSS feed and read it on you Mac if you like - if you're on your iPhone and you love news, this makes your life a breeze.

JAZZADDICT  Good write up. I was using Safari and then Mail for RSS until NNW for iPhone was released. I always had NNW but I didn't like launching such a battle tank of an app every time I wanted to browse some feeds. Now I keep it as a log in item. In combination with the iPhone App NNW changed how I read the news. Thanks.

MACBLISS  I was using Google Reader for a long while, then google changed their left bar menu into a drop down menu --- which makes it a lot harder to scroll and see everything. Then you have to click subscriptions every time you want to go to a new one.

So moved into NetNewswire for a quite while, and was enjoying it quite well, but then recently it stopped checking my Craig's list feeds. Saying there's no new items, even when refreshed. I'm dumbfounded as to why it stopped.

If anyone has any ideas -- feel free to reply. Meanwhile I'll have to check out some other readers again.

JOBBY  Sorry, no idea — but it's happening to me as well. maczot.com, mupromo.com and dailykitten.com seem to be the main ones affected. I wish I could remember what the last version was that didn't do this, so I could roll back...

JOBBY  A followup to my own post: I can see the new items in the affected feeds by turning off NewsGator syncing and refreshing all feeds.

I can then turn syncing back on and read the articles, but still don't get any more updates in those feeds while syncing is on :(

RONL  Great app but unfortunately someone mistakenly assigned an older version for downloading (i.e. version 3.1.3) instead of 3.1.5.

Can we have the new version... pleeeeeez?

SATELLIO  Updating through NetNewsWire's "Check for updates" application menu item installs the right version (3.1.5).

PATGMAX  I've tried several RSS readers over the years, have tried to keep things simple by using Safari or Firefox and tried some of the other standalone apps but I keep coming back to NetNewsWire. The interface is very simple yet highly customizable.
