Release notes for 0.0.10.9
Changes since 0.0.9.2:
New:
• Show dimmed italic "untitled" placeholder to indicate feed has no title.
• Added setting to show default icon for missing feed icons.
• Minor copy changes.
Fixed:
• RSS feeds with version 0.9 were not recognized and could therefore not be read.
• Bottom padding for scrollable settings dialog was not showing in Firefox.
• Special characters, such as the ampersand, in tab names where unnecessarily encoded as html entities and prevented those pages from being selected.
• Reverted previous mentioned incorrect special characters fix and fixed it properly.
• Force text/xml Content-Type when loading feeds, because some servers incorrectly set text/html Content-Type for feeds.
• Improved feed detection with aforementioned misconfigured servers.
Translations:
• [UPDATED] Italian translation provided by Michele Pezza (https://github.com/MichelePezza).
