Happy Birthday RSSOwl!

Today is RSSOwl's second birthday! Two years ago, 27th of July in 2003 the project went online at SourceForge.

I took this event as motivation to write an article at Techforge reflecting two years of development on RSSOwl.

I hope you will enjoy reading,
Ben

Screencasting RSSOwl with Wink

Submitted by bpasero on Mon, 2005-07-25 23:31.
I just found out about a very cool freeware called "Wink". Wink allows to create visual tutorials on how to use a software. The result is then available as Flash Movie. Downloads are available for Windows and Linux.

Playing around with it, I came to this result: Simple Screencast of RSSOwl

If anyone is interested in creating a cool screencast about RSSOwl, let me know. Good screencasts will be added to the Overview section.

Eclipse.org has released version 3.1 of Eclipse, for me the best integrated development environment for Java. Congratulations! RSSOwl has evolved a lot with the ongoing development on SWT.

RSSOwl was entirely developed using Eclipse. A list of new features is available here. Thanks for adding me to the Acknowledgments.
