Vienna 2.2.0.2200 Pre-release build
I've made a pre-release build of Vienna 2.2 available on SourceForge for those who are interested. You can get the build from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=142635&package_id=157268&release_id=511708
The new version will work with your existing database and will upgrade it to the new format, but the upgraded database will continue to work with 2.1 if you choose to revert back. However as with all pre-release builds, keep in mind that bugs are inevitable and back up your database regularly.
The following is a list of changes in 2.2:
- Added ability to drop OPML files onto Vienna's dock icon.
- Added support for RSS/Atom enclosures.
- Add conditional support in templates.
- Overhauled UI.
- Added new standard style.
- Added more built-in styles.
- Command + T now opens new tab.
- Accept web pages as subscription URLs and parse to extract the feed.
- Show RSS button in browser if the web page links to an RSS feed. Clicking the button subscribes to that feed.
- New tab bar control. (Thanks to Evan Schoenberg).
- Add option to add Vienna to the system status bar.
- Added Basque localization. (Thanks to Aitor Zubizarreta).
- If Vienna doesn't handle the URL scheme (e.g., itms), open the URL with the default application for its scheme.
- Allow refreshing of unsubscribed feeds if they are specifically selected. (Thanks to ytrewq1 for submitting a patch.)
- Updated to SQLite 3.3.17.
- Change exported file format to UTF8. (Thanks to Kiyu Horiuti).
- Added toolbar and moved buttons to toolbar. (Thanks to David Kocher for the prototyping).
- Added support for toggle status bar and moved progress indicator to toolbar.
- Add toolbar button to empty the trash.
- Added flagged article filter.
- Refresh all subscriptions now refreshes in the folder list sorted order.
More changes are planned before we release however we welcome early feedback on the UI changes and other improvements. Please visit the support forum to post your feedback and reports:

I don't know where to begin. The work on the pre-release in incredible. Everything I wanted out of Vienna--and more--is there. It's absolutely perfect for my needs.
Great Effort!
But I'm missing the toolbuttons at the bottom of the window... could there be an option to change position? Also the "Mark as read/skip folder" button doesn't work, it is somehow disabled.

have to post it here, cause I dont have and dont want another forum user account.
Installed the new version of Vienna today (pre release) and then I tried some new styles.
after downloading some - doubleclicking it - everything went fine - style was copied in the styles folder under applic. supp. / vienna and was asigned to the UI.
but when I doubleclick on a style in the styles folder - it gets assigned to the UI and disappears from the style folder - dont know why, dont know where - strange behatviour.
dont know if that also happens in older versions - tried it today the first time, caus its easier to scroll through a folder testen styles by doubleclicking then with the vieann ui (to many clicks).

Could it be possible to have a sort of "email this article" in the right click menu ?
It should just trigger an email with the permalink of the article, it would be useful for a lot of people I guess.
I heavily use Vienna, thanks you so much for this great work !
