github martinrotter/rssguard 5.0.4

6 hours ago

If you have 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 installed via official installer (.exe) then MAKE SURE TO BACKUP your data5 and (potentially) data4 folders manually BEFORE you perform the upgrade. These 5.0.0/5.0.1 installers have the bug and they delete your user data folder by mistake! The bug is fixed in 5.0.2+ installers.

Also note that newer 5.0.2+ installers properly keep your RSS Guard 5 settings but delete everything else. Make sure to move your RSS Guard 4 data away and backup it when performing upgrades!!

I even enhanced the installers to now automatically ignore all folders with name data*. So I expect 5.0.4+ installers to be really cautious about user data.

I am again really sorry for the bug. I can only recommend making manual backups and using zip archive version of RSS Guard to install everything manually, just to be sure.

Added:

  • Hiding article counts is now optional for labels and important articles. (#2111)
  • Articles are automatically marked as ready when opened in external browser or new internal tab. (#2090)
  • Updated default Accept headers according to feed type and also updated default User-Agent header. (#2122)
  • Official AppImages now should support delta-updates. (#2138)

Fixed:

  • Custom external browser was sometimes ignored. (#2102)
  • Search icon was low-quality. (#2104)
  • Some article list filtering options were not working. (#2106)
  • Article-extractor now respects custom feed HTTP headers and proxy settings. (#2108)
  • Configurable alignment of article counts in feed list now properly vertically aligns to center.

  • Article previewer now also supports dragging of text. Note that dragging of URLs and text can only be done with middle mouse button/wheel press.
  • Article-extractor was completely missing from installers. Jesus. (#2121)
  • Sort order was not properly remembered for some columns. (#2127)
  • Some images were distorted in internal article browser. (#2128)
