Work on Milestone 9 has started

Home
One of the first steps in this new milestone is to move on to using Eclipse 3.4. Some of the cool benefits doing so is the ability to automatically retrieve proxy settings from the operating system (including proxy scripts that are popular in companies). Check out our nightlies if you can not wait until the final release.

As you can see from our roadmap, the top items for milestone 9 are
  • Scalability of the feed view
  • News Filter
The former should make it possible to display even thousands of news at once, without noticable slowdown. Think about showing the contents of a folder instantly as soon as you select it.

News Filter should will be fun. You will be able to define search-conditions and bind them to a certain action. E.g. showing the notifier, whenever a certain condition is true, or automatically labeling a news based on a condition.

Stay tuned for more info on the progress of M9!

Divide into Frontend / Backend

Submitted by mksoagi on Mon, 2008-05-05 00:02.

Hi,

1. I would like to run a backend on my home server and a frontend on my notebook and desktops.
2. It would be nice to be able to "throttle" the collecting activity. It really brings down my notebook to its knees every few hours. That's annoying. It would also be annoying when it would bring down my home server.

I don't think that "filtering" should have any priority.
