Hi,

Last night we released version 0.3.0 of Raggle. Raggle is a console RSS
aggregator, written in Ruby. Features include customizable keybindings,
basic HTML rendering, HTTP proxy support, OPML import/export, themes,
support for various versions of RSS, Screen support. browser auto-
detection, and more. This release of Raggle also includes a preliminary
template-based web interface (via WEBrick) and Win32 support.

Changes since 0.2.x:

  • preliminary web interface (via WEBrick)
  • ‘a’ to add add feeds inside Raggle
  • -A, --ascii : non-ANSI window borders
  • HTTP 1.0 Basic authentication (ie http://user:pass@foo.com/index.rss)
  • better HTTP 304 response handling
  • better conditional HTTP GET (Last-Modified, If-Modified-Since headers)
  • Win32 support (web interface only at the moment)
  • ignore "a " and "the " prefix when sorting feeds
  • manual update works in non-manual mode now (to force update). same as
    passing SIGALRM to Raggle
  • SIGHUP invalidates all feeds and starts feed grabbing thread
  • categories (web interface only)
  • view source (bound to ‘’)
  • added --max-items (max # of items/feed)
  • added 0, $ keybindings (beginning and end of list)
  • get Win32 proxy from registry
  • config.rb overrides settings in default config on a per-key basis,
    rather than replacing them
  • fixed SSL support
  • –edit accepts -1 for batch operations
  • preliminary DRb interface
  • updated mono theme (for terminals with bold, w/o color)
  • screwy feeds don’t (shouldn’t?) kill feed grabbing any more
  • parallel feed grabbing
  • faster rendering (less refreshes, cache reflow)
  • –add can take a url (ie raggle -a ‘url’)
  • whole slew of bug-fixes
