GreatNews 1.0 Beta Build 364 - Free Powerful RSS Reader

gn picGreatNews 1.0 Beta Build 364 (Windows, Freeware, 900 KB) [via FileForum] is a powerful RSS reader emphasising on usability. "Full-page" display makes RSS articles as easy to read as on newspaper. It can synchronize with Bloglines.

  • Added: if there's no unread channels, "Open unread" command will go to welcome page
  • Added: Channel->Rename(F2) to rename a channel/group/watch/label directly on the tree
  • Added: Label tree nodes now show total number of items with the label
  • Added: If a channel/group has labelled items, GreatNews now warns user twice before deleting it
  • Added: CTRL+S to save current web page
  • Added: Serbian language pack
  • Added: Koren language pack
  • Added: Czech language pack
  • Added: GreatNews now refreshes channel favicons weekly

  • Fixed: in "mark read interactively" mode, the last page won't be marked read if user switched channel

GreatNews is still my favorite news reader. I'm very happy that the developers regularly update this fine application.
