FeedTree 0.6.2.

January 10th, 2006

[Crossposted from the FeedTree weblog: Version 0.6.2 and new wiki pages.]

Version 0.6.2 of the FeedTree client software is now available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and any other Java 1.4/1.5 platform. Many minor fixes, including the elimination of a large memory leak (oops!) and an update to the latest version of FreePastry (which itself contains a number of performance-related improvements).

In addition to the new release, I’ve added a few new documents to the wiki, including improved FeedTree proxy documentation, a slightly expanded FAQ, and everyone’s favorite: screenshots!.

Direct 0.6.2 download links: Windows / Mac OS X / JAR and publisher tool

Chron.com annoyances

January 10th, 2006
  1. I just had to click through an ad to even get to the front of chron.com. That’s the problem with packing the frontpage full of useful goodies: nobody clicks through to any other ad-bearing page. Obvious solution: punish the user with a clickthrough.
  2. Weird clear Flash movie floating over the main story’s photo:

    “This is a windowless frame flash”. Eh?
