Liferea Feed Reader 1.12.3 Changes
The announcement reads, “Today sees a new 1.12 release which addresses some long-standing user concerns. One being accidentally marking all your headlines as read, we have no a confirmation dialog. Another issue addressed is that of custom download tools. The list provided is not always sufficient so we now provide a CLI command you can enter to use you favorite downloader. A lot of refactoring also allowed us to provide a GTK headerbar plugin for all fans of GNOME style window decorations.”
Some major changes are:
- Added setting for custom download commands
- GTK Headerbar support via plugin
- Refactoring UI code to switch to GAction and GtkBuilder
- Item list view column order rework as a preparation for possible real column drag&drop. Introduces a new DConf setting for the column order.
- Mark read toolbar button always disabled for search folders
- Please add a safety question when “marking all read”
- Avoid exception in trayicon.py
- GnomeKeyring plugin fails to activate when keyring doesn’t exist
- Fix feed list selection after DnD
- Big Memory leak in date code
