• Fixed a bug where, on some Macs, the user couldn’t select an OPML file to import

Changes since 6.1.10:

• Added support for Markdown in RSS via the source:markdown element. When present, the Markdown is rendered as HTML
• Made several performance enhancements, most notably in scrolling the timeline
• Fixed a bunch of AppleScript bugs
• Added ability to copy multiple article URLs
• Added a dotted underline to links in the Sepia theme, to make links more visible
• Improved http/https caching, reducing bandwidth and battery use
• Fixed bug where a feed could be read twice on being added

• Changed Markdown behavior — it now prefers source:markdown, when present, over description and content:encoded, and renders the Markdown as HTML and uses it as the article body
• Added a dotted underline to links in the Sepia theme, to make links more visible

• Added support for source:markdown to the RSS parser. Markdown is stored in the database. When an article doesn’t already have HTML content, the Markdown will be rendered as HTML. (Note: anyone reading this in October 2025 almost surely does not have any source:markdown elements in their feeds, so this won’t affect you — though that may change in the future. Here’s more info, for the curious http://scripting.com/2022/07/19/152235.html?title=devNotesForMarkdownInFeeds)

• Made scrolling of the timeline view faster

• Improved http/https caching, reducing bandwidth and battery use
• Fixed bug where a feed could be read twice on being added
• Fixed bug where the initial download for a new feed didn’t store conditional GET info
• Added some special cases where we can and should avoid doing some specific work (such as downloading the home page to find a feed icon)
• Worked around a server bug where a server would always respond with a 304 when any conditional GET info is sent (the app drops conditional GET info every 8 days)
• Fixed a possible cause of feeds not updating by caching (non-429) 4xx responses for some hours rather than for the duration of the app run
• Fixed Atom parser bug with relative URLs

• Fixed bug with some favicons rendering weird, with dark vertical lines. Note: due to caching, the fix may take a few days to take effect
