Announce: Version 0.8.5 of Carmen's Headline Viewer is now available



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)
