What is new in version 3.1:

Adding Links

  • Added a Share extension for adding new items from web pages. Feeder will create a new item with a title, link and any selected text from the page in the current feed or a feed you choose from the list. All this can be edited before adding to the feed.
  • Feeder now also provides a bookmarklet that can be installed via Advanced preferences. This works the same as the Share extension, except the information cannot be edited beforehand and the link will always be created in the current feed.
  • Added a "When adding links" setting to General preferences. By default, Feeder will add new items directly to the feed, use this to open them in editing windows instead. This applies when using the Share extension, bookmarklet or dragging links from a web browser.

Items

  • On El Capitan it's now possible to swipe to remove items from the feed in portrait mode.
  • Added a setting to General preferences to ask before removing items (on by default) and another on whether posts should be automatically removed from the blog too, if appropriate.

Feed View

  • When a feed has errors at the feed level, a warning icon is shown next to the Feed button.
  • Expanding a section and clicking on a sub-section will show only that section.
  • iTunes Subtitle now appears as a single-line field.

Edit & Preview

  • The preview now uses the San Francisco system font on El Capitan.
  • Editing windows now show the standard window buttons inline with the toolbar buttons.
  • Fixed a problem where changes to custom templates may not be saved.
  • Fixed a problem where the editor preview shows an enclosure when there isn't one.
  • Updated Markdown support, improves support for links.

Social Sharing

  • Twitter shares can now include an image, if one is available. Enable "Include an image, if available" in the Sharing section of the Settings view.
  • Tweaked the heuristics for identifying images for Twitter and Facebook sharing. When more than one image is available, Feeder uses the Media RSS thumbnail if available or the largest image from the description if not. For podcasts it will then fall back to the iTunes Store artwork for that item or the feed, and in all cases it will use the standard feed image as a last resort.
  • When posting to Twitter or Facebook for the first time, or if Facebook authorization has expired, Feeder now shows you a Settings button that will take you directly to the appropriate section in the Settings view.
  • Updated Facebook support.
  • Icons are now shown for system sharing services.
