It's SHOCKING... It's DARING! It's INCREDIBLE!!

It's... Raggle 0.4.0!

Prologue:
After a more than a year of near-death rescue missions, high-speed car
chases, and hair-splitting battles with evil masterminds, the mysterious
Raggle Task Force (Codename: R4) has emerged once again to release
Raggle 0.4.0, the most powerful Ruby-based console RSS aggregator
humanity has ever seen!

Intelligence Briefing:
Raggle is a console and web-based RSS (Really Simple Summary / Rich
Site Summary / RDF Site Summary) aggregator, written in Ruby. Features
include customizable key bindings, OPML import/export, themes, console
HTML rendering, browser auto-detection, and support for screen,
HTTP proxies, HTTP 1.0 Basic authentication, conditional HTTP 1.0 GET,
and more.

Here are a few of Raggle 0.4.0's UNBELIEVABLE new features:
* category-based view filtering
* feed search (via Syndic8.com)
* feed editing
* improved console HTML rendering
* key bindings for mark unread, import/export OPML, opening links
* current key bindings window
* documentation updates (updated README, man page, full internal API
  docs, online help)
* much better character encoding conversions (via iconv)
* fixed terminal resizing
* massive code cleanup
* preliminary i18n support (via gettext-ruby)
* fixed a metric ton of bugs
* and more!!!

AMAZING features are available at the following URL:

Thank you for this. I have a problem though. I've installed
ncurses-ruby(0.9.2), but when I start raggle, the UI has q's and j's
(characters) making up the lines on the border(i.e, not lines,
characters). If I'm making any sense, can you point out what I might
be doing wrong?

I'm on Ubuntu(Hoary), ruby -v is "ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i686-linux]".

When I start raggle as "raggle -A" (ASCII mode), the lines are
actually better(though drawn as dashes and pluses).

TIA,
Shajith

Sorry for the noise. It seems to be some problem with terminfo on the
normal xterm. Trying it on a unicode enabled xterm works fine.
Thanks!
