New Feeds now have expiration options (under Configure->Date And Time).  You can set it so that new feeds will "expire" (ie become old) after a certain amount of time or never.
Getting Feeds is no longer model a model window so you can now still use the main window while getting feeds (although some actions ie menu/toolbar items) are no longer accessable.
Fixed "Minimizing Bug".  KRSS will no longer dock into the kicker panel when you switch desktops.
Hopefully fixed "#include <klistview.h>" bug.  Added custom widget stuff to filterviewbackend.h
Started the user manual.
You can update one feed at a time by using MyChannelBar's popup menu over an item.

Dec. 13, 2001 K.R.S.S.  Change Log Really Started
I will update the changelog now as I release versions

Announcing K.R.S.S. version 2.2 - (November 26, 2001)
I have finished version 2.2! I have included 3 items on David Boosalis' wishlist. I also increased the speed and made lots of improvements. I wanted to release today - something like, 'It's my birthday and I'll release if I want to...'

Speed increase: K.R.S.S. doesn't load the site listing from the file each time it is needed - is now stored in memory.
Downloading feeds is quicker. K.R.S.S. now properly implements caching, and will only download feeds it has changed.
Always On Top: K.R.S.S. can now be set to stay on top of all other windows.

These three below were on the David Boosalis' wishlist (many thanks, David - it's great to get feedback):

Clear Button: The clear button will temporarily wipe out the viewer. It is a toggle between having 'active' feeds and no 'active' feeds without having to actually specify that the feeds are active or not.
Date and Time Tag: The MyChannelBar now will display date and time information about feeds in the form of a tooltip. Simply move the cursor over a feed and K.R.S.S. will tell you when the feed was last downloaded and last displayed.
Colour Code: MyChannelBar can now visually display which feeds have new items and which do not. Feeds which are new can be configured to have a different colour than those that are old (or do not have anything that is new).

And as always, minor bug fixes and enhancements have been made.

Announcing K.R.S.S. version 2.0 - (October 24, 2001)

Version 2.0 is now available, with a fair amount of new features, making it quite a jump from version 1.1c:

MyChannelBar: MyChannelBar now has scheming capabilities. You can change the background and Channel Title colour. Also, you can now change the spacing between Channels.
Drag'n'Drop: MyChannelBar now has URL drag'n'drop capabilities. When you are searching for RSS Feeds, instead of having to type all the information into K.R.S.S., simply drag the URL's link onto the MyChannelBar and K.R.S.S. will do the rest. Channel Title and Description are automatically filled in.
Tips: K.R.S.S. now has tips at startup.
System Tray:K.R.S.S. can now be configured to use the System Tray when you minimize the main window.
Search Button: The caption on the search button used when displaying the feeds can now be changed.
Pause/Resume: You can now pause or resume scrolling of the feeds temporarily.
Configure Shortcut Keys: Version 2.0 now allows you to change shortcut keys (key bindings) to whatever menu item you want.
Configure the Toolbar: You can customize the toolbar for quick access to those items you use most.
Import AmphetaDesk Site Listings: AmphetaDesk, a similar application that runs under Windows and MacOS, has a site listing that contains thousands of RSS feed locations. K.R.S.S. can now import these listings so that the RSS feeds can be used within K.R.S.S.. Included with version 2.0 is the AmphetaDesk's complete site listing, which is current as of October 17, 2001, or you can download the lastest site listings from their website.
Improved Schemes: Thanks to Eduardo Dominguez for pointing out that the fonts were not being displayed in the correct sizes. Version 2.0 includes a completely redesigned scheme interface. This new interface will allow for greater scheming capabilities in the future while still maintaining backwards compatiblity.
There is a Scheme Preview on the Scheme Configuration Page so you can instantly see what your scheme will look like.
MyFilters: Only selecting those Channels that you want is sometimes not enough. Version 2.0 now has MyFilters which allows you to filter out any unwanted news through the use of regular expressions. Truely, now only see the news you want. A feature not found in any other news aggregator.

Overall, minor bug fixes and small enhancements have also been made - creating the most stable and functional program to date.

Announcing K.R.S.S. version 1.1c - (October 1, 2001)

Version 1.1c is out. I have finished MyChannelBar which will allow you to "jump" between Channels. Simply click on a Channel's title on the left and and K.R.S.S. will scroll to the the top of the feed.

I know this is kind of an odd release number - I don't know what I was thinking.


Announcing K.R.S.S. version 1.1 - (September 28, 2001)

K.R.S.S.'s first issue release has been uploaded. You can get this new version on the downloads page.


Announcing K.R.S.S. version 1.0. - (September 25, 2001)

I have released the first version of K.R.S.S. to the public. You can get it now under the downloads section. I have also uploaded a CVS tree so you can check that out if you wish.
