This morning I received an email from Radek Gontarek alerting me to a mistake I made in beta 4 which will cause it to expire next week (ouch!). Since I'm planning to take a day or two off for xmas, I wanted to make sure to fix this as soon as possible. So...if you're running beta 4, please stop by the FeedDemon beta page and download beta 4a. The release notes are here.

Sorry for the mixup - and enjoy the holidays!

podcasting support 12/17/2004 06:38 PM

FeedDemon 1.5 BETA 3a is now available. As you can see from the release notes, there are a number of changes in this build, the most notable being podcasti ng and improved enclosure support.

After downloading beta 3a, simply install it directly on top of your current version of FeedDemon and your existing data will be retained. However, given that this is a beta release, I recommend backing up FeedDemon's cache folder before upgrading (if you're not sure where this folder is, select File > Manage Cache > Explore Cache Folder).

Note to translators: FeedDemon's language file is likely to change in subsequent betas, so I recommend against translating it until version 1.5 has reached release candidate (RC) status.

Tucows's ethical expired domain auction

Tucows's ethical expired domain auction 09/08/2004 08:06 PM
Cory Doctorow: Tucows is starting a service to auction off expired domain names, but with an escape hatch to ensure that the former holders of the expired domains don't get scr0d.

Yet, Tucows plans to protect the previous registrant's existing rights because even if a URL enters the auction, the old registrant still has a window of opportunity to retain the name under the system. Noss said Tucows plans to "hold the name in escrow for another 30 days" on top of a period of "anywhere from one to 45 days" that a former registrant has to reclaim their domain name after expiry, depending on which registrar they're dealing with.

Leading expired domain network, ExpiredDomainTraffic.Net, announces innovative new advertising service for website owners. Expired domain names from once popular websites are still listed in the major search engines, have a large number of links, and continue to receive traffic. ExpiredDomainTraffic.Net provides a way for even the smallest site operators to capitalize on these highly targeted visitors at an appreciably lower cost than using PPC search engine listings.

ANN: FeedDemon 1.10

ANN: FeedDemon 1.10 06/07/2004 05:42 AM

I'm pleased to announce the final release of FeedDemon 1.10. Among the highlights in this new release are:

• Support for Atom feeds
• A new integrated web search
• The ability to search previously downloaded feed items
• Improved browser features such as popup blocking and form auto-completion
• Enhanced grouping and styling of feed items

In addition to these "big" new features, version 1.10 offers a lot of smaller tweaks that really boost FeedDemon's usability. A complete list of what's new can be found in the release notes, but be sure to watch the FeedDemon Tips blog over the next week since we'll be highlighting a number of new features that you might overlook.

If you already own FeedDemon 1.0, the upgrade to version 1.10 is free - just download the new trial version and install it on top of the previous version, and you're set to go. Your serial number, channel subscriptions and other information will all be retained.

My thanks and appreciation go to everyone who not only tested FeedDemon, but also stuck with me during that nasty little episode with the neck surgery. A couple months back I had no idea when I'd be able to get FeedDemon 1.10 out the door, so I'm really glad to announce that it's done :)

PS: If you have any questions about the new release, please visit the web-based forums for help. I'll also be updating the FeedDemon FAQ over the next few days to address common questions about 1.10.

FeedDemon 1.10 RC4

FeedDemon 1.10 RC4 05/21/2004 08:36 AM

FeedDemon 1.10 RC4 is now available to registered users.

• Added: Generic "Date" column to news item list, which contains pubDate if it exists, received date otherwise. This new column isthe only date column shown by default - both the "received" and "published" columns are hidden. This also affects the default sorting and grouping (both are now set to the generic date), which may change how you're used to seeing news items sorted.
• Changed: The default newspaper filter is now "Unread News" instead of "Today's News"
• Changed: The default value for automatically marking items as read has changed from five seconds to three seconds
• Changed: The cleanup wizard now remembers your selections
• Changed: Double-clicking a news item navigates the news item's link if the item newspaper is showing, otherwise it re-displays the news item newspaper (change in RC3's behavior)
• Fixed: FeedDemon now correctly handles xml:base in Atom entries and passes all the link tests at http://diveintomark.org/tmp/tests/wellformed/base/links-in-content.xml and http://diveintomark.org/tmp/tests/wellformed/base/links.xml
• Fi xed: "Previous unread channel" shortcut skips topmost channel

When you're ready to download RC4, stop by the FeedDemon beta site.

FeedDemon 1.10 RC5

FeedDemon 1.10 RC5 05/31/2004 12:35 PM

Okay, I lied about RC4 being the last FeedDemon 1.10 pre-release :) Out of necessity, I'm making one last pre-release available. RC5 contains a number of fixes related to how Japanese characters are displayed, and it also includes a new "Web Search" feature along with support for IE's form auto-completion.

• RC5 release notes (please read!)
• RC5 download link (2.03MB)

If you encounter a bug in RC5, let me know by posting in the FeedDemon Support Forum. Please include 1.10RC5 in the subject line of any message you post about this pre-release.

Note: Translators, I apologize for yet another change, but there are two new strings in this release. If you'd prefer not to send me new FDLANGs, please feel free to simply email me the translations for the strings shown below.

FeedDemon: What's in a Name?

FeedDemon: What's in a Name? 06/05/2005 11:08 PM

Every now and then I'll receive an email from someone stating that they really like FeedDemon, but they won't buy it because of the word "demon" in its name. The majority of these comments come from reasonable, sincere people whose beliefs cause them to be turned off by the demon imagery, and while my personal beliefs don't include angels or demons, I do take these comments seriously and I certainly don't want my choice of name to be a stumbling block.

For the record, the name "FeedDemon" originated as a play on the phrase "speed demon," simply because I worked so hard to make sure FeedDemon was faster than the competition. Of course, the FeedDemon logo does include a demonic-looking hand catching a fireball, but I never even considered that it would offend people, any more than I would think the logo for Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners would cause controversy.

I hesitated to make this post because any mention of religion usually brings out the wackos on both sides (believers and non-believers alike), but I am curious whether many people feel this way. If you're among those who can't comment about religion without being intolerant to those who believe differently, this isn't the place for you to vent. But if you have a respectful comment, I'd love to hear it regardless of whether I agree.

If you run into any problems using this pre-release, please let me know by posting in the FeedDem on 1.5 Beta Forum.

FeedDemon 1.0 RC2

FeedDemon 1.0 RC2 05/07/2004 08:41 PM

FeedDemon 1.10 RC2 is now available from the FeedDemon beta site. As with all version 1.10 pre-releases, RC2 is only available to those who have purchased version 1.0.

RC2 fixes a number of bugs, including several related to Atom newsfeeds. For complete details on what's new, please check out the relea se notes.

Note: Because my new web-based forums are still being tested, it's probably better if everyone continues to post comments about v1.10 in the newsgroups. But if you'd prefer to post in the forums and understand that your messages may be deleted once the forums go live, please feel free to use the FeedDemon 1.10 Beta forum. I'll reply to messages in either location.

Thorough FeedDemon review

FeedDemon Crack

FeedDemon Crack 06/18/2004 09:27 AM

Dave Winer and Evan Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:

"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even test this s---?"

I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post) about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.

That's right, people who use a pirated version of FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager would write.

I've written about piracy befor e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked versions of my work: don't ask for support. I support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected - dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

FeedDemon and RSS enclosures

FeedDemon and RSS enclosures 05/12/2004 09:45 AM

The RSS enclosure element is used to attach media (such as video) to a news item. The original design of enclosures was to enable downloading media attached to news feeds while the computer wasn't in use - for example, downloading MP3s while you sleep - so you wouldn't have to wait.

I have to confess, though, that I was never wild about this idea, at least not for FeedDemon's purposes. If you read a news item that was just retrieved by your aggregator, you probably want to see the enclosure right then and there rather than wait for it to be downloaded when the computer is idle.

More importantly, much (but admittedly not all) of the Web's media is designed to be streamed, so rather than download enclosures, why not simply link to the media object and let the system's default media application take care of it? For example, if a news item has a video enclosure, just link to it and let the media application stream it to you - no wait, and no wasted hard drive space.

So, this is how FeedDemon handles RSS enclosures. If FeedDemon encounters a news item with an enclosure, you'll see a paper clip ("attachment") icon in the newspaper. Just click this icon to view the media.

FeedDemon, RSS and cookies

FeedDemon, RSS and cookies 08/18/2004 10:25 AM

I've recently had a a few people ask whether FeedDemon supports the use of cookies, and the answer is, "yes, it does."

The most obvious use of this is to require a login before returning any information, and I've seen this done by several feeds already. Unfortunately, some of them redirect to an HTML page when the login cookie isn't found, which obviously won't work since FeedDemon is trying to download RSS, not HTML. So, if you use cookie-based authentication, don't redirect to an HTML page - instead, dynamically create an RSS <item> which includes a link to the login page.
