v8.0 (07.07.2026)

Performance rework and clean architecture design. The extension now handles much larger volumes of feeds and articles without freezing the Shell.

  • main feature: Notifications can now be grouped by source (#27)
  • feature: New "Mode" selector in preferences — choose between Notifications and widget, Notifications only (hides the panel indicator), or Widget only (#28)
  • bugfix: Atom feeds now read summary/content as the article description — fixes empty descriptions on some feeds
  • bugfix: Articles that are only updated keep their read state and no longer re-notify or reappear as unread
  • bugfix: Notifications are dismissed when the corresponding article is removed from the feed
  • bugfix: Changed feed-request User-Agent so feeds behind anti-bot protection no longer fail with "Unable to parse"
  • bugfix: Panel indicator unread dot now renders reliably on GNOME 46 — no more invisible/resizing marker (#32)
  • bugfix: Fixed unread state being lost when the extension is disabled
  • performance: Large feeds no longer freeze the Shell — chunked menu building, pagination in the classic layout, "Show all" in the minimal layout, and a configurable item-retention limit
  • internal: Replaced the legacy REXML parser with a lightweight vendored txml parser
  • internal: Complete data/UI architecture split — extension.js reduced to thin wiring
  • internal: Adopted the connectObject/disconnectObject pattern for external signal handling
  • internal: Removed the obsolete update-detection button
