Summary:
C: RSS feed reader
Description:
C: |-
<p>Liferea is an abbreviation for Linux Feed Reader. It is a news aggregator for online news feeds. It
supports a number of different feed formats including RSS/RDF, CDF and Atom. There are many other news
readers available, but these others are not available for Linux or require many extra libraries to be
installed. Liferea tries to fill this gap by creating a fast, easy to use, easy to install news aggregator
for GTK/GNOME.</p>
<p>Distinguishing features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Read articles when offline</li>
<li>Force fetch full article text using HTML5 extraction</li>
<li>Subscribe to HTML5 websites that do not even have a feed!</li>
<li>Synchronizes with Google Reader API (TheOldReader, FreshRSS, FeedHQ, Miniflux, ...)</li>
<li>Synchronizes with Reedah</li>
<li>Synchronizes with TinyTinyRSS</li>
<li>Permanently save headlines in news bins</li>
<li>Match items using search folders</li>
<li>Play Podcasts</li>
</ul>

<p>Features introduced with 1.14:</p>
<p>Many thanks to all the contributors and package maintainers that made this possible!</p>
<ul>
<li>Internal Browser New 'Reader mode' preference that allows stripping all web contentImplement support
for Webkits Intelligent Tracking ProtectionNew progress bar when loading websitesYoutube videos from
media:video can be embedded now with a click on the video preview picture.Changes to UserAgent handling:
same UA is now used for both feed fetching and internal browsing. User agent now indicates Android+Mobile
per default instead of suggesting a Linux desktop to better adapt to the smaller (in comparison to
browsers) rendering pane. Additionally special env vars LIFEREA_UA and LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS now also
affect the internal browsing.</li>
<li>GUI New view mode 'Automatic' which switches between 'Normal' and 'Wide' mode based on the window
proportions.Liferea now supports the new GTK dark theme logic, where in the GTK/GNOME preferences you
define wether you "prefer" dark mode or light modeFavicon discovery improvements: now detects all types
of Apple Touch Icons, MS Tile Images and Safari Mask IconsIncrease size of stored favicons to 128x128px
to improve icon quality in 3-pane wide view.Make several plugins support gettextAllow mutiple feed
in same libnotify notificationRedesign of the update message in the status bar. It now shows a update
counter of the feeds being in update.You can now export a feed to XML fileAdded an option to show news
bins in reduced feed listAdded menu option to send item per mail</li>
<li>Feed parsing Default to https:// instead of http:// when user doesn't provide protocol on subscribing
feedImplement support for subscribing to LD+Json metadata listings e.g. concert or theater event listingsImplement
support for subscribing to HTML5 websitesSupport for media:description field of Youtube feedsImprove
HTML5 extraction: extract main tag if it exists and no article was found.Execute feed pipe/filter commands
asynchronouslyBetter explanation of feed update errors.</li>
<li>Online services Added generic Google Reader API support (allows using FeedHQ, FreshRSS, Miniflux...)Now
allow converting TinyTinyRSS subscriptions to local subscriptions</li>
<li>Search folders New search folder rule to match podcastsNew search folder rule to match headline
authorsNew search folder rule to match subscription sourceNew search folder rule to match parent folder
nameNew search folder property that allows hiding read itemsNow search folders are automatically rebuild
when rules are changed</li>
<li>Plugins Added new plugin 'add-bookmark-site' that allows to configure a custom bookmarking site.Added
new plugin 'getfocus' that adds transparency on the feed list when it is not focussed.Trayicon plugin
has now a configuration option to change the behaviour when closing Liferea.Trayicon plugin has now
an option to disable minimizing to tray</li>
<li>Hotkeys New hot key Ctrl-D for 'Open in External Browser'New hot key F10 for headerbar plugin to
allow triggering the hamburger menuNew hot key Ctrl-0 to reset zoomNew hot key Ctrl-O to open enclosures</li>
</ul>
<p>Important bugfixes</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixing hidden panes: Many Liferea users did suffer from invisible pane (e.g. a minimized feed list
or HTML view) upon startup. With certain desktop environments / themes making the pane grips invisible
it is hard to grip the correct pixel to restore a pane. Now Liferea will never allow the panes to be
smaller than 5% in height or width regarding to there orientation. If a pane is smaller than 5% height/width
it will be set to 30% width or 50% height on startup.</li>
<li>Wait for network to be fully available before updating: sometimes when real internet access takes
longer to come up then your WLAN connection Liferea did update feeds to early resulting in errors.
Now Liferea waits for full internet connection.</li>
</ul>
<p>Deprecations</p>
<ul>
<li>2-pane mode was removed</li>
<li>Dropped CDF channel support</li>
<li>Dropped Atom 0.2/0.3 (aka Pie) support</li>
<li>Dropped blogChannel namespace support</li>
<li>Dropped photo namespace support</li>
</ul>
- version: "1.13.9"
type: stable
unix-timestamp: 1658793600
description:
C: |-
<p>This will be the last unstable release before the first 1.14 release candidate. It contains bugfixes
and a generalization of the Google Reader API implementation we already had for TheOldReader. This implementation
was improved, fixing some bugs and can now be used with arbitrary Google Reader services.</p>
<p>New features: Google Reader API support If you are a FeedHQ, FreshRSS, Basquz user or a a user of
any other Google Reader compatible service, you can now subscribe to those services. Note: it currently
doesn't work with Miniflux due to this miniflux/v2#1498 which is probably a bug in Miniflux. Once it
is solved Miniflux also can be used. If you experience any issues please open a ticket for support!</p>
<p>GUI simplification: less cluttered item list The item list has seen some rework. The quite large left
padding (cause by reserved space for expansion header) is now gone. Also the enclosures icon column was
dropped. When using Liferea in wide mode this really gives back a lot of vertical space, so Liferea in
wide mode becomes more useful half-maximized or in split screen situations. Please give feedback how
you like the change, especially the rather small padding left of the favicon column (when in wide mode)!</p>
<p>Changes</p>
<ul>
<li>Update to Readability.js 0.41 (better image and table handling) (Lars Windolf)</li>
<li>Changes to UserAgent handling: same UA is now used for both feed fetching and internal browsing.
User agent now indicates Android+Mobile per default instead of suggesting a Linux desktop to better
adapt to the smaller (in comparison to browsers) rendering pane. Additionally special env vars LIFEREA_UA
and LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS now also affect the internal browsing.</li>
<li>Improve HTML5 extraction: extract main if it exists and no article was found</li>
<li>#1117: Hide unused expander space in item list. This saves horizontal space. (Sefler Zhou)</li>
<li>Drop enclosure icon from item list. This saves horizontal space. (Lars Windolf)</li>
<li>#515, #962, #1113 adds generic Google Reader API support (this enables access to FeedHQ, FreshRSS,
Miniflux...)</li>
<li>#1108, #113: Improve performance by different check order in itemset merging (suggested by mozbugbox)</li>
<li>Fixes #1033: Subscribing defaulted to HTML5 feeds even when real feeds do exist. (reported by Hanno
Braun)</li>
<li>Fixes #1111: wrong base URI in reader mode (Lars Windolf)</li>
<li>Fixes #1112: Image duplication caused by feeds providing an image link which is also in the item
description as additional metadata. (Lars Windolf)</li>
<li>Update of Dutch translation (Gert-dev)</li>
