  • Linux build is now built with Ubuntu 20.04 which is now oldest supported Linux LTS distribution.

New in Portable RSS Guard 4.3.0 (Jan 21, 2023)

  • Added:
  • Massive update for feed fetching mechanism. It is now very parallelized and performance gain should be brutal. On my development PC with 4 cores (Intel i5) I observed 800 % performance boost. Note that this feature required huge number of changes on source code so there could be some corner case regressions or not so polished situations. File bug report when that happens. Also, number of threads used by this feature is configurable via --threads command line switch. This parallelization approach will also be applied to some other parts of application in the future, particularly for some massive batched network operations in some plugin - TT-RSS, Greader or Gmail - which will result in massive performance boost too.

  • Suffix ".xml" is also accepted for OPML 2.0 files.
  • Brutal speed enhancements when importing OPML 2.0 files. Whole functionality is now properly parallelized and performance boost is potentially massive, depending on number of your CPU cores/threads.

New in Portable RSS Guard 4.0.1 (Sep 3, 2021)

  • Fix build regression with Qt < 5.13.0. No other changes.

New in Portable RSS Guard 4.0.0 (Sep 3, 2021)

  • 4.0.0 is new major release of RSS Guard. RSS Guard 4.x is NOT backwards compatible with 3.x line.
  • Specifically:
  • configuration file "config.ini" IS fully backwards compatible,
  • database file "database.db" is NOT backwards compatible.
  • You may ask why is there new major version and why backwards compatibility is broken:
  • I needed to completely overhaul some of core concepts inside RSS Guard.
  • Database structure in file "database.db" was very complicated and hard to maintain and had to be simplified. Number of database tables was greatly reduced and whole structure is easier to follow.
  • Source code was greatly simplified in many places which makes RSS Guard easier to maintain and easier to develop new features.
  • Also, and this is potential killer feature, new changes allowed implementation of "next-gen" synchronization algorithms which may, in some cases, dramatically speed-up two-way synchronization of articles. This new synchronization algorithm is right now implemented and enabled for Google Reader API plugin as PoC and it is called "Intelligent synchronization algorithm" within RSS Guard. The algorithm will be implemented for other plugins over time.
  • There is crazy number of new features and bugfixes. See list below.
  • Also, let me say some more extra points:
  • More than 4 000 code changes were made in total during RSS Guard development. Codebase consists of 38 500 lines of C++ code.
  • First version of RSS Guard was published 8 years ago.
  • RSS Guard is one-man project, I have implemented it on my own. 99% of code is written from scratch.
  • Received donations for RSS Guard were under 100 USD in total.
  • If you feel that RSS Guard is slow, broken or shitty application, then you are probably right. Nonetheless, you should still submit well-structured and sane bug report, so that I can actually fix the issue! If you do not submit bug report, then please do no spread lies about how bad RSS Guard is and switch to another feed reader instead.
  • Added:
  • Brand new notifications subsystem added. It can play sounds, individual events are independently configurable in application settings. (#356, #144)
  • "MessageObject" class now exposes "rawContents" property for message filtering. Property contains raw RSS/ATOM/JSON contents of the message. (#377)
  • URL-embedded cookies are now supported, as well as classic cookies, which are now saved in non-persistent cookie jar. (#391)
  • "Next-gen" synchronization algorithms which may, in some cases, dramatically speed-up two-way synchronization of articles. This new synchronization algorithm is right now implemented and enabled for Google Reader API plugin as PoC and is called "Intelligent synchronization algorithm" within RSS Guard. The algorithm will be also implemented for other plugins in the future.

  • Display feed title in list of messages. (issue #97)
  • Displayed feeds can now be sorted by multiple columns. Do you want to sort by author, and THEN by title? Simply click first "Title" column, then on "Author" column. If you hold CTRL during sorting, the sort is done in reverse column order.

  • "Cleanup database" action has now configurable shortcut. (issue #90)

New in Portable RSS Guard 3.3.7 (Jan 24, 2017)

  • Added:
  • Some localizations added & updated.
  • User now can place custom user skins in user "data" folder. (issue #81) See "About" dialog for the exact path.

  • MySQL database backend now requires at least version 5.5, DB encoding is now changed to utf8mb4 character set. (bug #74)
  • Height if message attachment image is now configurable, defaults to 36. (issue #69)

New in Portable RSS Guard 3.3.2 (Jul 28, 2016)

  • Changed:
  • Feed updating/message downloading logic is now a bit simpler. Message downloading is still parallelized but final storing into DB is not. It is now queued. This slows down the proces only a bit, but gives more reliability.
  • Fixed:
  • Fixed problems with obtaining custom ID for downloaded messages in TT-RSS plugin. This caused probably a lot of problems with mismatch of downloaded/real unread messages counts.
  • Fixed some typos.

New in Portable RSS Guard 3.3.0 (Jun 27, 2016)

  • Added:
  • Internal message viewer is now based on QtWebEngine module which is based on Chromium project. This speeds up viewing of messages and supports newest HTML 5 or CSS 3 features. Note that this does not mean that fully featured internal web browser will come back. It will not! Only SIMPLIFIED internal web browser is now added. New message viewer is also better for viewing messages in newspaper mode.
  • Default skin now uses Bootrstrap-powered look.
  • Feed updates are now parallelized up to infinite number of threads. This speeds up speed of concurrent feed updates rapidly (more than 5 times). I was able to update about 160 feeds in 35 seconds. Note that this feature is still in experimental state.
  • Middle mouse button click on any message in message list opens message in internal web browser, double click in external web browser.
  • Any middle mouse button click on hyperlink opens it in new internal web browser tab.
  • Changed:
  • Minimal Qt version bumped to 5.7.0 - this will lead to some betere features in the future.
  • Updated miscellaneous libraries - MariadDB, openSSL (Windows only).
  • Main menu is by default hidden, tab bar is now always visible. Main menu is now accessible via left/top corner iconified button. Users can of course tweak settings in Tools -> Options -> User interface.
  • Removed:
  • All skins except default are removed because it is difficult for me to maintain all of them. Any user can pickup removed skin from repository, tweak it (it is easy) and send it to me and I will include it with next version of RSS Guard.
  • Cmake dependency completely removed.
  • Completely abandoned support for self-updating via NSIS installers. Now, RSS Guard is distributed only via ZIP archives on Windows. User still can download them in RSS Guard.
  • Fixed:

  • Changed:
  • Internal message viewer now displays title as part of main HTML view.

New in Portable RSS Guard 3.2.0 (Apr 13, 2016)

  • Main:
  • Internal web browser was REMOVED. This is because old Qt WebKit web component will be removed from Qt and new Qt component for web viewing is based on Chromium, which is fucking joke. Some people hate Chromium because of many (technocal, philosophical, etical) reasons. Moreover, it lacks some useful features and is memory hungry. It is also very buggy in Qt now. Therefore now internal web browser is gone. Message preview component now uses much lighter solution and still can display certain HTML subset. RSS Guard was tweaked to be more friendly to external web browser. Double-clicking any message results in it being opened via external web browser.
  • RSS Guard now depends only Qt 5.6 or higher.
  • Added:
  • ownCloud plugin now can delete feeds.
