Help us test the improved RSSOwl for Linux and Mac

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 09:31:08 +0100

For RSSOwl 2.0.5 Linux and Mac we plan a major update to the framework that is used for the entire user interface of RSSOwl. This framework has aged over the past years and we need to update it to not loose contact with the latest development in the Linux and Mac world.

The visible changes are not very obvious, in general RSSOwl should behave as before. Should you encounter any issues while using this version, please use our bug tracker to report them.
