Release 1.14.0 Stable · lwindolf/liferea

Here comes the newest stable release line of Liferea 1.14!

Features introduced with 1.14

First: Many thanks to all the contributors and package maintainers that made this possible!

New 'Reader mode' preference that allows stripping all web content
Implement support for Webkits Intelligent Tracking Protection
New progress bar when loading websites
Youtube videos from media:video can be embedded now with a click on the video preview picture.
Changes to UserAgent handling: same UA is now used for both feed fetching and internal browsing. User agent now indicates Android+Mobile per default instead of suggesting a Linux desktop to better adapt to the smaller (in comparison to browsers) rendering pane. Additionally special env vars LIFEREA_UA and LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS now also affect the internal browsing.

New view mode 'Automatic' which switches between 'Normal' and 'Wide' mode based on the window proportions.
Liferea now supports the new GTK dark theme logic, where in the GTK/GNOME preferences you define wether you "prefer" dark mode or light mode
Favicon discovery improvements: now detects all types of Apple Touch Icons, MS Tile Images and Safari Mask Icons
Increase size of stored favicons to 128x128px to improve icon quality in 3-pane wide view.
Make several plugins support gettext
Allow mutiple feed in same libnotify notification
Redesign of the update message in the status bar. It now shows a update counter of the feeds being in update.
You can now export a feed to XML file
Added an option to show news bins in reduced feed list
Added menu option to send item per mail

Default to https:// instead of http:// when user doesn't provide protocol on subscribing feed
Implement support for subscribing to LD+Json metadata listings e.g. concert or theater event listings
Implement support for subscribing to HTML5 websites
Support for media:description field of Youtube feeds
Improve HTML5 extraction: extract main tag if it exists and no article was found.
Execute feed pipe/filter commands asynchronously
Better explanation of feed update errors.

Added generic Google Reader API support (allows using FeedHQ, FreshRSS, Miniflux...)
Now allow converting TinyTinyRSS subscriptions to local subscriptions

Added new plugin 'add-bookmark-site' that allows to configure a custom bookmarking site.
Added new plugin 'getfocus' that adds transparency on the feed list when it is not focussed.
Trayicon plugin has now a configuration option to change the behaviour when closing Liferea.
Trayicon plugin has now an option to disable minimizing to tray

Fixing hidden panes:
Many Liferea users did suffer from invisible pane (e.g. a minimized feed list
or HTML view) upon startup. With certain desktop environments / themes making
the pane grips invisible it is hard to grip the correct pixel to restore a pane.

Now Liferea will never allow the panes to be smaller than 5% in height or width
regarding to there orientation. If a pane is smaller than 5% height/width it will be
set to 30% width or 50% height on startup.

The intention here is that panes are never invisible after startup.
Wait for network to be fully available before updating: sometimes when real internet
access takes longer to come up then your WLAN connection Liferea did update feeds to
early resulting in errors. Now Liferea waits for full internet connection.
