We just released the first maintenance version RSSOwl 2.0.1 with more than 25 bugfixes and enhancements. Users on Windows 7 will be happy to hear that RSSOwl is fully supported as of this release. For the first time you should be able to update from version 2.0 using the integrated update manager (Help | Check for Updates).

Heads up to those Linux users of RSSOwl. The recent update to GTK 2.18 is causing issues. Please refer to this entry in our FAQ to make the Owl fly normally again.

With release candidate 3 we have reached our final candidate before announcing RSSOwl 2.0. We are still open to any feedback, just let us know!

In addition, there is now a bunch of guided video tours in the features section. Enjoy!

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:

Let us know what you think!

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 :-).
