BlogBridge 2.14 Weekly Released
Today we have another tasty weekly release. As usual, it features lots of small fixes and some news. Traditionally, I would like to outline couple of most spectacular additions you aren’t allowed to miss.
What I’m really excited about is that we finally started to make the application truly accessible not only to English speakers, but for everyone in this galaxy. As of now, you can select whatever font you like to render the contents of your favorite feeds, while still the application will continue suggesting you good selections mentioned in our themes.
The popularity of enclosures grows exponentially due to the number of podcasts, videocasts and other -casts jumping out at the stage, and it’s almost impossible to imagine our life without them. Starting from this very release there’s an ability to download and save enclosures and any other files by selecting the “Save as…” command from the context menu of any link in the article. Later you can monitor the progress of your downloads using Tools->Activity command and in the end every download will report back on completion.
There were two hot discussions in the forum about scrolling of articles pane during navigation and highlighting of unseen images in photo display. There were lots of pros and cons discussed and finally we decided to give it a whirl. Please let us know what you think of this new fun stuff. Is it really fun or we are just imagining that?
Many of our users complained about disappearing feeds and not without the reason. Thing is that they aren’t simply disappearing, they are being filtered out and most usually because of the default starz rating of a feed being lower than your current filter setting. So we decided to make it work a bit more clever. Starting from this release the starz filter is applied only to your manually set gold starz, which means that feeds with auto-discovered (silver) starz rating aren’t hidden no matter how low their rating is.
Enough words. Below is the usual set of links:

You’re going to update the rest of the installers too, right?

Here’s what threw you off: the 2.14 is a weekly release, which we only build in JNLP form. 2.13 was a stable release,where we build all the installers. We will look into building installers for all releases, as you aren’t the first one to ask for that!
