NetNewsWire - Lettore RSS

[Riker]

NetNewsWire

Più volte segnalato nel forum, è da molti considerato il migliore lettore di feed RSS. Facile da utilizzare, interfaccia simile a Mail, può scaricare e visualizzare le notizie da diverse migliaia di siti web e blog, il che rende facile e veloce tenere il passo con le ultime notizie.




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 10.5 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.


Ultima release NetNewsWire 3.2b6 (beta)(4.5 MB)

WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.2b6:
-This is supposed to be a minor upgrade. The main point of 3.2 is as transition to 4.0.
-Features removed: NewsGator syncing; .mac/FTP syncing
-GoogleReader syncing (though some bugs remain)
-Displays ads from The Deck
-New app icon
-A few other additions and changes

Requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Before running, it’s a very good idea to back up your current NetNewsWire preferences and data, in case you have to go back. They’re here:

[home folder]/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/
[home folder]/Library/Preferences/com.ranchero.NetNewsWire.plist


Ultima versione non beta: NetNewsWire 3.1.7


Esiste anche la versione per l'iPhone:

NetNewsWire for iPhone

Grazie, però il link che dai per Netnewswire per iPhone porta al sito Newsgator.com

In corrispondenza a questa uscita della 3.2b6, cosa non casuale ma legata, il sito Newsgator.com ha annunciato che non sarà più disponibile per gli utenti free da fine agosto. Quindi fare un account per poter usare Netnewswire per iPhone sembra inutile.

NewsGator’s Online Reader will no longer be available for consumer use as of August 31, 2009.
In conjunction with the release of our latest versions of NetNewsWire and FeedDemon which synchronize with Google Reader, NewsGator will no longer be supporting our online reader for consumer use. Paid customers who utilize the online reader or our online platform will continue to be supported.

For free versions of the latest clients, please click the appropriate link:
NetNewsWire
FeedDemon
For detailed instructions on migrating your account to Google Reader and answers to other questions, please see our FAQ page.

Invita a scaricare il client Netnewswire segnalato da Riker (o feeddemon per windows) e per l'online a passare a Google Reader. Cosa che ho fatto.

Però non viene detto niente riguardo a Netnewswire per iphone, che non funziona affatto con i dati dell'account Google Reader. (a parte questo: Brent Simmons will continue to lead the development of NetNewsWire for the Mac, NetNewsWire for the iPhone, and iPhone Apps.)

Alcune fonti parlano di un prossimo aggiornamento per Netnewswire per iphone, ma non si è capito in cosa consiste. In pratica dal 31 agosto, se le cose restano così, non so a cosa serve Netnewswire per iphone.

Nel frattempo ho cercato per l'iphone alternative che leggono Google Sync (che sincronizza con la beta di Netnewswire) e ho trovato l'esageratamente caro Byline (e altri a pagamento) e il gratuito ma non molto convincente RSS Runner.

Ciao Padmé,

se con:

"Grazie, però il link che dai per Netsnewswire per iPhone porta al sito Newsgator.com"

ti riferisci al non aver messo il link per il download diretto, è intenzionale.
Non ho l'iPhone e non ne potevo scrivere, quindi rimandavo alla pagina del sito.

Però non viene detto niente riguardo a Netsnewswire per iphone, che non funziona affatto con i dati dell'account Google Reader.

I use NewsGator Online, how do these announcements impact me? NewsGator Online will no longer be available for consumers as of August 31, 2009. If you would like to continue to take advantage of the power of RSS, we recommend FeedDemon (for Windows), NetNewsWire (for Macs and iPhones),

FAQs



Di più nin sò!

Allora diciamo così: non andate sul sito newsgator.com ma su Google reader per creare (se non avete già un account gmail) e gestire un account, account indispensabile per la sincronizzazione con la beta di NetNewswire:https://www.google.com/accounts/Serv...ader%2Fview%2F

E il link per Netnewswire per iPhone sull'app store è questo, ma per ora (a me) non funziona ancora con Google reader (solo con il morente Newsgator). Si attende una nuova versione prima del 31 agosto..

Aggiornamento:


NetNewsWire 3.2b23

Note: This is still a beta — it’s unfinished, and it has bugs and incomplete features. If you haven’t started using a beta yet, you don’t need to: you can wait until it’s finished (by August 31).


Release notes were unavailable at the time this listing was updated.

edit: infatti...

NetNewsWire 3.2b24

WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.2b24:
Ads were set to start showing on September 1. But, because we don’t yet have a way to pay to remove ads, we put off showing ads for two weeks.
(Note: we won’t turn off NewsGator syncing until NetNewsWire 3.2 and NetNewsWire 2.0 for iPhone are finished.)
Temporarily turned off support for media:content enclosures, since they were mostly images, and it was highly annoying.
Also made the app more tolerant of return codes from Google Reader when marking an item read or unread, so the app won’t get stuck on an individual item.

3.2b28

Syncing is more efficient and more accurate. In particular, it will download a lot less data when refreshing — it will download just the feeds that need downloading.

[Padmé Amidala]

Segnalo che da oggi è disponibile sull'app store la nuova versione di Netnewswire, con una nuova icona (quella della desktop app) e affiancata da una sorella premium, a pagamento.
Dunque, la nuova versione non fa più la sincronizzazione dei feed con newsgator, ma con google reader. E' dunque lì che bisogna andare a trasferire i propri feed provenienti da newsgator. Il termine ultimo è ora fissato al 28 settembre (era il 1o ma l'app per iphone non era ancora pronta).

Contemporaneamente è stata rilasciata la versione 3.2 (definitiva) della desktop app Netnewswire.

Versione 3.2.1

Fixed the most embarrassing bug ever. Clicking the ad for buying NetNewsWire (to get rid of the ads) would cause NetNewsWire to crash. (Though it did open the store page in the browser before crashing.)
