Progress

I'm officially on holiday until the end of the month. However in between wading through all 26 hours of Der Zweite Heimat, work on 2.0.1 continues apace. Here is what we have so far:

  • Universal binary build.
  • Updated to Growl 0.7.4.
  • No longer prompt if Vienna is exited while a connection is in progress.
  • Better truncation of feed names in the folder list. (Code contributed by David Kocher).
  • Handle HTML redirects in the feed for sources such as MSN Spaces.
  • Save and restore the currently selected article when you exit and restart Vienna.
  • Support use of the Shift key to open a link in the alternate browser. (Code contributed by Jeffrey Johnson).
  • Added Japanese localisation. (Thanks to Daisuke Okada).
  • Added Spanish localisation. (Thanks to Carlos Morales).
The increase in the number of localisations has also forced me to do some restructuring of the resources to make it easier to add new UI elements without having to duplicate in every single localised file except one. Otherwise something as simple as moving a menu command ends up being duplicated in at least seven source files with the added risk of breaking the command assignment. Not good.
