Review RSSOwl is a free RSS / RDF / Atom Newsreader written in Java using SWT as graphic library. RSS ("Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary") is a document specification that gives users the power to collect and organize Web-based news and information in a more efficient manner. Applications that collect data from RSS-compliant sites are called RSS readers or "aggregators". RSSOwl is such an application. It lets you gather, organize, update, and store information from any compliant source in a convenient, easy to use interface, save selected information in various formats for offline viewing and sharing, and much more. Why "Owl"? The owl is a traditional symbol of wisdom, and a quiet, efficient hunter. You'll find RSSOwl's "big eyes" a big help when scanning the Web's vast array of RSS resources. The top12 reasons why you should use RSSOwl are - High performance and native Look and Feel that uses the operation-system GUI theme, Great platform support: Use RSSOwl on Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris, Import/Export newsfeeds with OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language), Generate PDF/RTF/HTML documents from any news, Use drag and drop to manage your favorites in unlimited nested categories, Loaded newsfeeds are automatically stored in an archive to read them while being offline, Powerful, integrated Newsfeed search engine, Perform a full text-search with result-syntax highlight, RSSOwl is highly customizable (set Fonts, Hotkeys, Language, etc), Display news in the internal browser, Big Tutorial and FAQ to help you manage your new newsreader. 31 Supported Languages (English, Russian, Chinese, German and much more).

Changelog: Version: 1.2.4(26 Nov 2007) The RSSOwl Team is happy to announce that RSSOwl 1.2.4 is now available for download. Among minor new features and a couple of bugfixes, this release comes with better support for Windows Vista, the ability to use Mozilla as embedded Browser on Windows and some improvements to the embedded Browser on Mac OS X. See the changelog for a complete list of changes. For a detailed list of changes that also include a lot of bugfixes, take a look at the changelog at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt. If you want to benefit from many new cool features, you should give RSSOwl 2 a try. Its currently in beta stadium but already fully functional. Visit http://boreal.rssowl.org for more details. May the Owl be with you, Ben Version: 1.2.3(26 Nov 2006) The RSSOwl development team is happy to announce the new version 1.2.3 of RSSOwl. You can now subscribe to feeds with RSSOwl by passing the url of the feed as argument to the executing launcher (e.g. rssowl.exe on windows). This works very well with the new Firefox 2 where RSSOwl will be visible in the list of newsreaders to select when opening a feed in Firefox. In case you are already subscribed to the feed, it will display its content. We continued to improve the security from the embedded browser on windows by disabling JavaScript when displaying the contents of a news. As soon as the Browser is navigating to a real website, JavaScript is being enabled again (based on your Internet Explorer settings ). This change is protecting RSSOwl from malicious JavaScript coming from a Feed so we highly recommend to update to the latest RSSOwl. Information about news that are marked as read is now persisted at a certain interval while the application is running. This should finally fix the issue where this information got lost on an unclean shutdown. The SWT library was updated to the most recent Version 3.2.1. For a detailed list of changes that also include a lot of bugfixes, take a look at the changelog at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt. May the Owl be with you, Ben Version: 1.2.1 Tags: Rss | Rdf | Atom | Rssowl | Java |
