Description Jesse Adelman 2007-07-31 20:54:04 UTC
Some fixes, some bugs, and a new upstream maintainer.

"New in 1.8.4

    * HTTP authentication.
    * Ignoring SSL certificate errors (upon request).
    * Partial support for Atom 1.0.
    * Open links with target="_blank".
    * Relative links work.
    * Theme setting (and the program) works for first-time users (broken in previous release).
    * RSS feeds with <content:encoded> work.
    * The clipboard's content appears as the feed's address by default.
    * Appear with the name 'blam' in process listings.

Known problems:
There are probably more, but here are some of the most important problems:

    * It consumes a lot of memory.
    * It still crashes/doesn't work properly with certain feeds.
    * It only supports up to Atom 0.3 fully (due to the library used)"

Looks like it was released on 1/8/2007? Thanks!
