Short: Simple RSS (and Atom as well) client
Uploader: ger-alex@seznam.cz (Aleksei Gerasimov)
Author: ger-alex@seznam.cz (Aleksei Gerasimov)
Type: comm/news
Version: 1.1.1
Architecture: m68k-amigaos, ppc-amigaos, ppc-morphos, i386-aros
Simple RSS (and Atom at some extent) client written in Hollywood for Amiga-flavored OSes.
Unlike other RSS clients, IvoRSS stores locally only actual content of RSS channel,
and doesn't bother user with tens of old read and unread messages.
Requirements:
codesets.library
AmiSSL v4
Install:
IvoRSS should work from any dedicated drawer.
Update:
Copy IvoRSS binary to previously installed drawer.
Special apologize for Amiga users:
IvoRSS is an Hollywood project. It was so easy for me to coble together all the needed components that Hollywood had out of the box.
I believe that programs should be written on compiled languages whenever it's possible.
I am not sure if IvoRSS will be usable on real Amiga at all.
Special apologize for AROS users:
It's a shame to provide http-based client without https support at 2022.
But I typed "RSS" in AROS Archives and.. Nothing! Just nothing, AROS Archives don't knot that word!
There is neither old, neither buggy, neither without https...
I know that AROS users pray for an SSL library for years (I am too), but can do nothing with it either
Changelog:
v1.1.1:
1. Fixed crash for uncovered HTML characters
2. Finally, any smallest change of "article" will trigger IvoRSS to show it as unread.
But at least left and rigth sides of application will be consistent.
3. Changed a little bit layout to look a little bit better under AmigaOS4
4. Added glow icon for AmigaOS3
5. Created kind of glow icon for AmigaOS4
v1.1:
1. Reworked parsing in Explore window
2. Downloading is reworked, IvoRSS tracks modified time on server
3. Changed New/Read identification, there are still false positives, but should be less of them
4. Now MUI&MUIRoyale set up to not let labels to explode and break layout
5. More &HtMl_characters; are covered
6. More Amiga related feeds out of the box
Troubleshooting:
1. For the case when something goes wrong, IvoRSS stores its data in ENVARC:Hollywood/ivorss
2. Loading of RSS channel icons can be opted out by -donotloadimages key in shell or by respective DONOTLOADIMAGES tooltip in Workbench icon.
3. If you encounter network issues with IvoRSS, setting up USEDEFAULTDOWNLOADER tooltip may help
4. If application suddenly freezes, may help increased stack size. However, I expect that 8192 KB will be enough already.
