NetNewsWire for Mac

Changes

• Overhauled Feedly syncing to prevent too-many-requests that could get users temporarily banned.
• Fixed the Feedly mark-as-read backlog that could grow forever and re-send the same statuses.
• Fixed Feedly folder and feed bugs — renaming a folder during a refresh could delete it, restoring a deleted folder restored nothing, a failed move could leave a feed in two folders, same-named folders collapsed into one, and right-to-left and untitled feed names were rewritten every sync.
• Fixed bug where a Feedly feed the server no longer knows about could never be deleted.
• Made Feedly sign-in and token refresh more robust — canceling on the consent page no longer shows an error, expired tokens refresh reliably, and removing the account always removes its tokens from the Keychain
• Used the published dates Feedly reports for articles, so a newly added feed’s archive is no longer dated all today.
• Paused Reader API syncing when the server reports too many requests, honoring its retry time — and Inoreader additionally conserves its API quota by skipping status downloads when near its daily limit.
• Sent queued article statuses for Inoreader on every status sync, so read and starred changes no longer wait out the quota throttle.
• Fixed folder creation for Reader API accounts (FreshRSS, BazQux, The Old Reader) — new folders no longer disappear before a feed makes them real on the server.
• Fixed Reader API article ID encoding that could make article downloads fail.
• Used conditional GET for Reader API tag and subscription lists.
• Posted real errors to the Error Log from Reader API status syncing, and kept an unread fetch failure from skipping the starred fetch.
• Fixed bug where article titles, author names, and feed names from FreshRSS could show full-width versions of & < >
• Fixed NewsBlur folder syncing aborting on a missing folder, applied server-side feed updates, and preserved locally edited feed names.
• Checked iCloud account status before syncing — feeds still refresh, without repeated error alerts, while iCloud is unavailable (such as when new Terms and Conditions need accepting, which now shows a clear message), and syncing resumes automatically when iCloud comes back.
• Fixed bug where an iCloud feed moved between folders could disappear until the destination folder synced.
• Fixed iCloud sync progress leaks that left the Refresh button and menu item wrongly disabled.
• Fixed bugs in Feedbin, Feedly, NewsBlur, and Reader API accounts where a status refresh could briefly revert just-made read and starred changes.
• Fixed bug where sending an article’s read status could delete its queued starred status.
• Made statuses queued when the app was killed get sent at next launch.
• Fixed bug where a feed could show a phantom unread count that came back after reading articles in other feeds.
• Fixed bug where feeds could lose their names and display as Untitled.
• Preserved custom feed titles from imported OPML across refreshes.
• Repaired a feed’s stored ID when a sync service reports a different authoritative one.
• Allowed accounts with the same username on different servers.
• Showed the account name and type in sync error messages, and stopped showing sync decoding errors as theme import errors.
• Dropped unhelpful recovery suggestions from error alerts that have no recovery options.
• Made feed and sync requests wait for connectivity instead of failing when the network isn't ready, such as right after waking from sleep.
• Stopped skipping feeds on the next refresh when the previous attempt failed with a connectivity error.
• Stopped caching failed downloads, so retrying a feed right after a timeout tries the network instead of reporting the feed not found.
• Fixed bug where a download callback that started a new download of the same URL was silently dropped.
• Used a browser user-agent string for image and theme downloads.
• Fixed bug where finishing a refresh could wrongly complete unrelated Activity Log activities, such as an in-progress feed subscribe.
• Fixed feed discovery bugs caused by slashes in unquoted HTML attribute values.
• Added a feed-finding special case for relay.fm/blog
• Simplified the Safari extension — it sends the page URL and NetNewsWire does all feed discovery, and the toolbar button works without reloading the page.
• Supported Atom xml:base for resolving relative URLs
• Extracted the article body from feeds that put a full HTML page in an article.
• Kept the current article in the timeline, and kept it selected, when the timeline updates and the sidebar selection hasn’t changed.
• Fixed bug where feed-list changes could drop read articles from the timeline before it was time to drop them.
• Updated smart feed unread counts on app activation and at the day change.
• Skipped expanded folders when going to the next unread, matching iOS
• Removed punctuation and symbols when indexing search text, so words in curly quotes (for instance) are findable./li>
• Cleared undo stacks on all windows after dragging feeds in the sidebar, so a stale undo can’t misfire.
• Fixed sidebar cells laid out with a stale width.
• Improved contrast for the star icon in the smart feeds list.
• Fixed bug where an article updated during a refresh could reload the article view and reset the scroll position.
• Stopped scrolling from carrying over to the next article when switching articles mid-scroll.
• Fixed text selection in a footnote within a footnote.
• Fixed mailto links that were already percent-encoded showing a literal %20 in the subject line.
• Removed the system-generated Back and Forward commands from the article view contextual menu.
• Preserved the aspect ratio of fixed-size iframes when the article width shrinks them.
• Hid Mailchimp newsletter social icon walls and social-share icon blocks whose unsized SVG icons rendered at full width.
• Sized inline SVG icons that depend on stripped stylesheets — Tailwind classes and Material for MkDocs markup.
• Zeroed negative side margins on tables so they stay inside the article.
• Kept absolutely positioned feed content from escaping the article body and overlapping the title.
• Hid the Slashdot discussion iframe that showed a cookie-consent banner in the article view.
• Declared UTF-8 in the HTML written to the pasteboard when copying.
• Passed any selected HTML to MarsEdit and Micro.blog instead of plain text only.
• Restored full screen window state across launches.
• Made sure the toolbar is showing when moving focus to the search field.
• Enabled toolbar items in Text Only mode.
• Added Clean Up to the global keyboard shortcuts so the keyboard shortcut fires reliably.
• Fixed Handoff showing “No selection” after the source device was locked.
• Switched to the current standard Sparkle framework for software updates — fixes the “Updater.app is damaged” error on macOS 27 betas and the “org.sparkle-project.Downloader” warning.
