(Reposting Sameer’s email to the greg-dev mailing list.)
Gregarius 0.5.4 Release candidate 2 is now available for thy testing pleasure. You can svn check it out using svn via the command
svn co http://svn.gregarius.net/svn/release-branches/0.5.4/gregarius/
If you prefer to download a compressed archive, a nightly is available in the nightly bin.
0.5.4 has some great new features and has lots of bug fixes and security fixes and its faster than 0.5.2.
Here is a run down of what’s new and exciting.
Support for podcasts. (Check out the cool podcast player plugin)
Built in password protection for your admin section. (No more rss_extra.php or messing with .htaccess files)
A Dashboard section so that you can keep tabs on what is happenning in the world of gregarius
Updating your feeds in parallel with Ajax
Plugins now have config options and you can check to see if there are new versions directly from your admin section.
Themes are supercool now. They can have different colour/layout schemes (css files), mobile versions, config options and other crazy things.
Support for mobile devices
Better handling of feeds which provide unique identifiers for their items. (Less duplicates!!)
Deciding on a per-feed basis whether you want modified items to show up as unread
A tiny smidgen of extra (experimental patch) ATOM 1.0 support
We would appreciate any help with testing. The best way is to install the release candidate and report any funny business :)
