Instead of an old-fashioned status bar — an app “chin” — the gear menu and refresh status appear at the bottom of the sidebar, and the current article‘s URL (or mouseover URL) appears at the bottom of the detail view.
+Feedback is welcome on this change. It might need reversing or refining. Or it might be fine as-is. Let me know what you think.
+ +The time between clicking on a feed — or especially a folder — and when the articles appear in the timeline view has been drastically reduced. This was due to a number of changes. (Thanks to Instruments!)
+OPML importing was slow — now it’s borderline instantaneous, even with thousands of feeds.
+HTML metadata parsing is now cached and performed on a background thread.
+ +Detect and parse RSS feeds that lack an opening rss tag. (See https://www.natashatherobot.com/feed/ as an example.)
+When the home page of a feed isn’t known yet, base the favicon on the feed URL.
+Fix a memory leak that happened every time you added a feed.
+Removed signs of some features that won’t appear until 2.0. (I’ve been doing some punting. It hurts, but that’s how I know I’m doing it right.)
+Increased spacing in sidebar from small to medium.
+The smart feeds now appear in a Smart Feeds group in the sidebar.
+ +You can always look at the recent commits on GitHub for more details.
