Carmen's Headline Viewer
Version 0.8.7 History
0.8.7 - 29 Jul 99
The usual drill, features, new providers, and bug fixes:
The "moreovernews" format is now supported. The site (www.moreover.com) provides hundreds of channels of news. Note that this support is still preliminary. A known bug is that some of the providers include illegal XML characters. In this case no articles are displayed for the provider. This will be fixed in the very near future. With the cooperation of the operators of this site,
128 providers from Moreover.com are now built in to Headline Viewer!
The
RSS 0.91 format
is now supported.
New built-in providers:
Perl News
Jacob's Angst
Fixed some typos in the user interface.
Fixed the site URL for Ars Technica, and added an image for Chunky Munky.
Removed the Desktopz.org site since the site has apparently faded away.
Fixed a problem with the message that appears in the About Box when a new version is available.
The Settings dialog now allows the Border Width to be set to any value between 0 and 10 pixels.
The Settings dialog now allows sorting of the entire list of providers and of the selected providers.
