rssguard

There have been some BTC and USD donations in the past several months and years. I very value these things and let me say it is not because of their monetary aspect. It is because that's a proof that you - users - value and cherish RSS Guard and use it regularly.

I used AI to perform static codebase analysis and the analysis discovered many many bugs vast majority of which I was able to subsequently reproduce. Most of them were crashing bugs. I fixed them but it is possible (and likely) that some other bugs got introduced instead.

I do not plan to add new features for some months now because we need to stabilize the codebase. So only minor feature refinements and bug fixes will be added for some time.

Added:

• Splash screen displayed during application startup can now be enabled in the general settings and is disabled by default. (#2329)

Fixed:

• Enhanced contrasts for colors in "minimal-dark" skin. (#2343)

• Feed list now correctly applies the restored column and sort order to accounts and feeds loaded during application startup.
• Custom notifications no longer crash when an article-list notification is removed after exceeding the available screen space.
• Article filters no longer crash the application when attempting to remove an attachment with an invalid index.
• Update dialog no longer crashes when the server returns no releases.
• Localization settings no longer crash when translation contributor metadata is empty or malformed.
• Preview scrolling actions no longer crash when a media player tab is active.
• WebEngine callbacks no longer access destroyed browser tabs after asynchronous page operations finish.
• Fix marking articles read with delay. (#2315)

These development builds are here for EXPERIMENTING. Things will break and your data will burn in hell. You have been warned!!!

These development builds are automatically compiled from latest sources immediately after each source code change is made and always include newest features and bug fixes.

Individual "devbuild" releases are NOT cross-compatible between each other. This is usually because when I do upgrade internal database structures I do it gradually over several commits.
