Version 0.8.5 of Carmen's Headline Viewer (for Windows) is now
available for download at
http://www.vertexdev.com/HeadlineViewer
This program reads XML and text-based "backend" headline syndication
files produced by several hundred producers of syndicated news
content. It gathers up the headlines from each producer and presents
them in a nice scrolling list. Clicking on a headline opens the full
story in your browser. It is a clean and straightforward way to stay
in touch with the latest news from hundreds of news producers without
spending all day clicking.
Access to nearly 300 news sites is provided:
* 34 are built in
* 233 can be downloaded from the list at UserLand.com
* 34 can be downloaded from the RSS Maker list
The user can add new sites, and the two syndication lists add more
content nearly every day. Preliminary support for the
http://www.moreover.com site (with hundreds more news channels) is
also provided.
This version adds the following new features:
* Added 18 new built in providers.
* Added support for text-based (non XML) providers.
* Faster loading of the UserLand provider list
* Improved context menus.
* More tooltips.
* Lots of small tweaks and bug fixes (details are on the
web page)
