New TrayRSS release! New localization in 1.2.0!
Hi there,
I'm proud to announce, that i've finished the work on the new TrayRSS Version last week. Big changes occure in this release! The first one could be recognized at the startup of TrayRSS if you're a previous user. To enhance the new modern look of TrayRSS a new SplashScreen and a new TaskIcon where drawn. Besides some gui fixes like the fitting table cells in the feed config window, TrayRSS got a new localization solution. All the strings used in the RSS Reader are now taken from propertie files. This provides the chance to translate the programm in some more languages within the next releases. If you're interested in a translation to your mother tongue, feel free to contact me, perhaps with an comment on this blog entry?
A complete list of the changes can be found in the changelog
Today I've allready started the developement of the next version. It key features will be a new notificationwindow and a feedbrowser where you will be able to review all the feed entries and interact with them in some ways (mark to reed later, share them, search). Not all of those interactions will be part of the next relase, but they are on the roadmap of TrayRSS.
If you are interested in it, give it a try and download it at sourceforge
Have fun using TrayRSS

With flying colours – TrayRSS 1.1.0 is released!
TrayRSS 1.1.0 is available now! Besides some bugfixes it contains a major redesign of the configuration window. It is now seperated into three tabs containing general parameters, the feeds the tool should monitor and the time settings, where the user can specify the timeframes when TrayRSS monitors the feeds. As a new functionallity the user can disable the timeframes with a single click now, before he had to specify a timeframe from 0000 to 2359.
Take a look at the example pictures in the screenshot section. There you can find screenshots of the old configuration window too. A great change isn't it?
Inside TrayRSS there where a lot of changes too. In the build process Apache Ant was replaced with Apache Maven and the project is now splitted to some modules like the notification, the model, the monitor, the gui and so on.
A complete List of changes can be found in the Bug Tracker of TrayRSS
Download TrayRSS 1.1.0
Future prospects in developement will be the completion of the work with the localization to every text in the application. (I'm sorry that the language change doesn't affect the config window at the moment, this will be changed in 1.2.0). And the next step of the new Look and Feel of TrayRSS will be a redesign of the notifications, to match additional requirements like mark feedentries for later read
Have Fun using TrayRSS!
PS: If you are a Mac User, i would be very glad to get some response on how the application suits to your system, because i don't have the chance to test it myself right now.

TrayRSS 1.0.1 is here!
Hi there,
i’d like to announce the new Bugfixrelease of Trayrss! Besides bugfixing, I made some pretty interesting changes
Changes in 1.0.1
* performance refactoring
* event-dispatcher threads for gui
* log4j updated
* refactored the useage of log4j
+ task 00035: implementing maven
* fix 00033: timesets starttimes where set as endtime
+ task 00035: packaging by maven
+ task 00035: buildnumber
- task 00044: SWIXML menu removed
Changes
I’ve fixed some bugs in the event-dispatcher thread of the gui, so trayrss is now more stable. Also there was an error when monitoring feeds with an invalid timeframe. TrayRSS stopped monitoring without telling the user if the format of the timeframe could not be parsed correctly.
Besides the logging feature was updated too. This and some additional changes within the source should lead to a little performance increase.
Bugtracker
TrayRSS relied on Trac for about two years. But Trac has its limitations. Now MantisBT is used to track all the tasks that are required to improve the application. The relation between a sourcecode change and a task will be noticed in the changelog in future by adding the tasknumber. Also Trac was binded to sourceforge. Now it isn’t necessary to have a sourceforge-account anymore to report an bug or request.
In MantisBT there are some additional possibilites to create reports. Also better notifications and a easier way to manage milestones are provided by the new bugtracker.
Maven
Additionally TrayRSS developement steps ahead to the next major release 1.1 Some major changes will be part of this release and the first step was also shipped with this Bugfixrelease: TrayRSS moved from ant to maven to manage the build process and to collect all the dependencies. That offers TrayRSS some important possibilities for the future such as managing multimodule projects, improves reusability, convention over configuration and so on. Some details about the migration will be described in future on nullpointer.at.
Hope you enjoy the new release
Kind regards!

Finally it's done, TrayRSS 1.0 arrived.
After getting a very low amount of responses to the beta, i've decided to release it into 1.0.
Go TrayRSS, have a nice life! And if there are any problems, feel free to come back, to get an update.
At the Moment there are no Open Requests, so the developement will stand still. I'm glad it's done, and i hope you will enjoy the software as much as i enjoyed to write it. If there are any suggestions feel free to contact me.
