This release contains some nice fixes and little enhancements from previous version. Thanks for your patience.
For users with dark desktop themes -> make sure to switch to minimal-dark skin in your RSS Guard settings. This skin is specifically tailored for users who use dark desktop themes.
As for the discussion around now-removed QtWebEngine and web browsing capabilities. There is argument that RSS Guard now cannot display "full" articles. Wrong. There is a setting in Experimental section of feed details dialog which can enable fetching full articles, even optionally in plain text format. Also, see below as this feature was even enhanced in this latest app version. I do not plan re-introducing web browsing capabilities because there are technical and (mainly) security implications which I want to avoid at all costs. RSS Guard provides ways to read full articles and if anyone wants to go to source website, just click the link and use the website in dedicated web browser which provides you with right tools to elevate your security in the online environment.
Added:
- All text is selected when focusing search textbox. (#2061)
- Filtering of feed list now takes much more feed data into account like URL, description, etc. (#2059)
- External tools can be made default for multiple domains. Just separate them with ',' (no spaces). (#2057)
- Added menu item "Fetch full contents" which can be triggered from main menu, article list context menu or article preview. This function downloads full contents of the article from its URL and stores it into the DB so that you can read the full article later. This feature should work for majority of websites, but will not work on websites which are behind anti-DDoS protections or heavy cookie-fied. (#2055)
- You now can drag URLs from article HTML preview to outside of RSS Guard. (#2032)
Fixed:
- Quick note for #2044. If you use dark desktop environment scheme, then again, use
minimal-darkskin, please. This one is specifically tailored for dark environments. I added a tweak to makeminimal-dark(andBreeze Dark) default skin for users with dark desktop themes. This only applies when RSS Guard is started with clean config and also is supported only on some platforms. - Article automatic limit/control and article custom IDs are now also migrated from RSS Guard 4.x. (#2042)
- All menu items can be now properly assigned to shortcuts and added to toolbars. (#2040)
- Fix the bug in loading article pictures when going offline/online and vice versa. (#2033)
