0.95.5 BETA

Full Changelog: 0.95.4...0.95.5

Version 0.95.5 BETA (2026-10-11)

• CHANGE: Improve automatic backups to detect settings changes even when the feeds database has not changed.
• CHANGE: Improve feed and favicon downloading with response size limits, safer redirects, and more reliable request and timeout handling.
• CHANGE: Improve performance when processing malformed ampersands in feeds and OPML files.
• CHANGE: Pause animated images in hidden article views and resume them when visible again, reducing unnecessary processing.
• CHANGE: Improve macOS packaging to include the required Qt plugins and verify dependencies before signing.
• CHANGE: Improve Windows build performance and resolve compiler warnings.
• BUG FIX: Play only one notification sound per feed update cycle, even when additional feeds join an ongoing update.

• BUG FIX: Prevent feed and favicon requests sharing the same URL from interfering with each other.

0.95.5 alpha Win32-only Qt5-based release

This experimental 32-bit build targets Windows 7 and later and requires an SSE2-capable CPU. It has received minimal testing; Windows 7 compatibility is unverified.

Provided as-is, without support. Bug reports specific to this build will not be accepted.

0.95.4 BETA

Full Changelog: 0.95.3...0.95.4

A bug fix release with multiple behind the scenes changes. No need to update if everything's working for you.

• Catch up on overdue feeds: When updates on startup are disabled, the app now waits one minute, then checks feeds whose scheduled updates were missed while it was closed. Individual feed schedules and disabled feeds are respected.
• Safer saving: Improved reliability when keeping the database in memory. Failed saves are reported, and an exit-time save failure offers retry and recovery options.
• More reliable cleanup: Failed article cleanup is rolled back rather than leaving partially completed changes, with clearer error messages.
• Performance improvements: Reduced unnecessary work when checking for duplicate articles, cleaning up old articles, and copying the database.
• Correct article times: Fixed local-time display for articles published under a different daylight-saving time offset.
• Better feed icons and status messages: Improved website icon detection and made errors in Feed Properties readable.
• Consistent website compatibility settings: Images, downloads, and update checks now use the configured User-Agent and applicable website overrides.
• Safer connections and shutdown: HTTPS requires TLS 1.2 or newer. Improved handling of active downloads during exit and saving when the app receives a normal termination request on Linux or macOS.
• Clearer troubleshooting logs: Backup messages explain what triggered them, while debug logs no longer dump entire articles.
• Fixed an error when switching article tabs and improved handling of feed links sent to an already running instance.
• Updated Russian translations and documentation.

Contains a minor regression/bug: now notifications sounds are played per feed for each update cycle. Will be fixed in the next version (already fixed in master).

0.95.0 BETA

Full Changelog: 0.93.0...0.95.0

A BETA release. This version should start and shut down much faster, but it may also delete your articles. Beware! It will also no longer freeze when fetching all feeds.

• NEW FEATURE: Choose whether each feed follows the global update schedule, uses its own schedule, or does not update automatically.
