Version 0.2 is now ready! Perfect for those folks who refuse to use a 0.1 version of anything. :-) Here’s a rundown of what’s changed:
- Improved RSS aggregator – removes numerous problems with certain RSS feeds.
- Tray icon now changes (lightning bolt) when news is being retrieved.
- Fixed insertion order of posts, so sorting within Outlook behaves as
expected. - GUI is now responsive during news retrieval operations.
- A retrieval cannot be triggered when a retrieval is already underway;
this solves some rare duplicate post problems. - The check news interval is now saved between sessions.
You can download the application, readme, and release notes here. And as before, please post your experiences!
Works beautifully :)
Yesterday, I posted about the Outlook Newsreader that is coming to town. And I said I didn’t want to try it yet, because I needed to install some additional software. Well, Greg (the developer of the software) convinced and helped me, and now I got the thing running in version…[more]
I haven’t check it out in a while but Abe Fettig’s Hep is a Python ap that allows you to view RSS feeds in just about any e-mail app, not just Outlook- http://www.fettig.net/projects/hep/
Two other questions, if I may Greg: (1) Do you plan on releasing the source, and (2) What version of Aggie are you using?
Ziv, I haven’t yet decided whether the source will be released for this, or if it will evolve into a commercial product. And it’s using the current Aggie source as of January 5.
Greg,
This is cool. One question though. The olnews.exe keeps running even after you have closed Outlook. I think the exe also needs to close with Outlook. Just a thought !!
This is excellent as an idea, but seems to have problems in implementation – early days I guess. It currently displays my name as the originator of all the items, as in

Installed, but for some reason, I’m only getting message titles — no message bodies. Strange.
Oh, duh — just read the release notes. My bad.
NewsGator (formerly the Outlook News Aggregator) has been released…[more]
Nick, you’re right, that isn’t the intent…although in some cases it’s unavoidable. 0.4 doesn’t address the problem (other than hiding the From column on some installations), but I’m hoping the next version will.
