  • 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)

Pre-release
  • 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

NetNewsWire 6.2b3 for Mac

30 Oct 04:25

Choose a tag to compare

Pre-release
  • 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)
