RSS Reader Pro v1.0.3

Release date: 2026-08-18
Status: Stable

RSS Reader Pro v1.0.3 focuses on a smoother, faster reading workflow. This release introduces richer discovery and organization tools while keeping the application local-first and compatible with existing SQLite databases.

Highlights

Area	What is new
Fast navigation	Press Space to scroll the current feed, B to toggle the bookmark for the active article, and O to open its source link.
Search and sorting	Use free-text search together with date-range, unread-only and bookmarked-only filters. Sort articles by newest, oldest or popularity based on click count.
Feed organization	Group feeds into categories such as News, Tech and Sports. The sidebar now shows unread counts beside each feed.
Card actions	Right-click a card to bookmark it, copy its link, open it in the browser or start Reader Mode.
Reader Mode	Open a simplified, distraction-free article body extracted from the original page.
Portability	Transfer subscriptions with OPML import/export, and save bookmarks as HTML or PDF.
Reading comfort	Enable desktop notifications for newly discovered items, adjust font size with a slider and turn on auto-scroll.

Persian sources by default

New installations include improved Persian defaults from BBC Persian, IRNA, ISNA, Mehr, and Tabnak, alongside BBC News and The Guardian for broader coverage. Existing user-added and user-deleted feeds remain respected.

Compatibility and dependencies

The feed database migration adds a category column automatically and preserves prior feeds, bookmarks and reading state. Reader Mode, desktop notifications and PDF export add beautifulsoup4, plyer and reportlab to the runtime dependencies.

Quality checks

The release passed Python compilation checks and six automated tests covering video detection, image/cache helpers, feed categories, unread state, advanced filters, popularity sorting, OPML transfer and bookmark HTML export.
