Aggie 1.0 Release Candidate 3 is now available for download.
This is a big release for Aggie with a raft of big changes, including:
- Diff support
- There is now an option to only show news items that have changed since
the last time Aggie did a scan.
- RSS Auto-Discovery
-
You can now enter a URL of a web page into the Add Channel box.
If the web page supports RSS Auto-Discovery then Aggie will find
the RSS file.
For further reading: RSS Auto-Discovery
Note: Aggie will look for and process BOTH mime types at this time, "text/xml" and "application/rss+xml"
- Drag-N-Drop
-
You can now drag-and-drop links off the browser and onto the Add Channel
address box, instead of cutting and pasting addresses. This along with RSS Auto-Discovery makes it very easy to add sites
to your news list.
- ETag
-
Using HTTP/1.1 it is possible to get an ETag value everytime you get a
file. If this value is then supplied in a "If-None-Match" header
when the file is retrieved again the server should not return the
file and instead return a Not Modified message. This speeds up
processing as only modified files are returned. This required adding
a new 'etag' attribute to the OPML file format.

- Syndic8 OPML
-
Aggie can now use the OPML files produced by Syndic8. That is if you keep your subscription list on Syndic8 then Aggie can use their OPML formatted version of your subscription list directly.
- Aggie News
-
Created a separate news channel from bitworking.org just for Aggie news.
Added that channel to the list of default channels that Aggie ships with. You can also subscribe to that feed directly:
