The content of rssowl.org is now fully updated for the release of RSSOwl 2.0. Take a look at the new overview to get an idea of all the features in RSSOwl 2.

Just a heads up, that the FAQ now gives you some advise on how to update from RSSOwl 1 to RSSOwl 2 to keep your list of subscriptions and folders. You can find the entry here. Thanks for holding on to RSSOwl 1 for such a long time, but we really recommend updating to RSSOwl 2 :-).

With the work on 2.0 RC1 we also finished a new version for RSSOwl integrated to Eclipse or any Eclipse based application. Just point your Update Manager to the following update site:

Heads up, we are very close on pushing out the first release candidate for the final 2.0 release. Expect more announcments over the next weeks with in-depth details on the cool new features implemented. Our plan is to make 2.0 final available in early Q4. We welcome any feedback from our users on the release candidates to make the 2.0 version rock solid and awesome :-).

After some weeks of not touching any code in RSSOwl 2, we are finally back to work on some essential usability features in M10 before declaring the availability of RSSOwl 2.0. The list of issues to resolve is quite long and we will keep you updated on things happening over the next months.

After an amazing month of vacation in New Zealand I am back at home to work on some cool new features for Milestone 9. The news filter is evolving really nice. Not only will you be able to perform a set of actions on incoming news, you can also apply it on existing news. I will post more about it once it is polished.

Here is a list of noteworthy features I added the past days:

• Play a Sound on incoming news
• Re-Order Labels
• New color picker for Labels

Stay tuned!
