NetNewsWire 3.1 Released as Freeware
Posted by Gregoire on 01/10/08 in Internet, News, Organization, Web
The 3.1 version of NetNewsWire, the well-known RSS reader, has just been released. Along with new features, such as a new view mode, HTML archiving, and performance enhancements, the major change in this new version is that the application is now totally free.
Newsgator, the company that bought the application decided to drop the paid model for a totally free model. This application which used to cost $30, is now totally free. The Lite version of NNW has suitably disappeared but note that people who purchased NetNewsWire in the past 30 days are entitled to a refund.
But this new version also brings other welcome changes which I mentioned above. First, the interface has been updated and now has some new toolbar icons. There is also a handy new feature I really like: HTML Archiving - so yeah you can now archive articles by saving them as HTML files. Useful too: the possibility of selecting several news items and execute actions for all of these items such as flag, mark as read, etc.

Finally, my favorite feature included in this new release is the new combined view. This new view mode includes a pagination system so you don’t have to scroll so much. I noticed only 20 news items (you can change that number) are displayed and if you want to see the next or previous ones, you simply have to change the page.
NetNewsWire can be downloaded for free on NewsGator’s website.
