Free netnewswire software for mac

NetNewsWire 3.1.7b7 beta is a powerful utility which can fetch and display news from thousands of different Web sites and Web logs.

NetNewsWire includes a Weblog editor that allows you to post to blogging sites such as Movable Type, Radio UserLand, and Blogger, and a scrapbook that stores news headlines, URLs, subscriptions, and draft text. The find command allows you to search through current news.

NetNewsWire is scriptable via AppleScript and other OSA languages and includes a scripts menu where you can add your own scripts.

Major Features:

1. Reading Feeds
   • New! HTML Archive feature - saves news items as HTML files on disk. These files are compatible with any web browser.
   • New! Performance and memory enhancements including an improved Combined View which uses multiple pages to display long lists of items.
   • Desktop integration: Spotlight, Address Book, iCal, iPhoto, Growl, Twitterific and more.
   • More viewing options: Combined view, feed "cover art", full-screen mode, and tabs with thumbnails and animations.
   • Sort by attention: NetNewsWire now tracks more information about what you do and can tell which feeds are most important to you.
   • Printing: Page Setup and Print commands have been added to the File menu.
   • Emailing: Two new commands appear in the File menu: one for emailing the contents of the news item or page, the other for emailing a link to the news item or page.
   • Post to Del.icio.us: In the News menu is a new command: Post to del.icio.us. It works with the selected news item or the frontmost browser tab.
   • Tabbed Browser: Open web pages in NetNewsWire's browser and see them the same as in Safari with the convenience of staying in the same window. NetNewsWire remembers tabs between launches, so you come right back to where you left off last time.
   • Three-Paneled Interface: The widescreen, three-column view is perfect for laptops and today's monitors that have more horizontal space.
   • Smart Lists: Gather news from all your feeds based on your criteria. It's like smart playlists in iTunes - only for news instead of music.
   • Flagged Items: Mark items that you want to keep; they stay forever or until you mark them as unflagged.
   • Inline Summaries and Datelines: Show summaries and datelines in the headlines list to make skimming faster and easier - especially for the widescreen view.
   • Versatile Headlines List: Add date, subject and creator columns to the headlines list - and sort on any of these columns.
   • Persistence: Tell NetNewsWire how long to keep news items so you can still read them even after they disappear from the feed.
   • Dinosaurs: Find feeds that haven't updated in a long time via the Dinosaurs window.
2. Finding Feeds
   • News Comes to You: Subscribe to feeds from all over the web - and from the built-in list of thousands of feeds in the Sites Drawer.
   • Searching: Search your news items with a standard Apple search widget - as in Mail and other applications.
   • Search-Result Subscriptions: Make special subscriptions that display results from search engines or from keyword searches.
3. Other
   • Podcasts and Enclosures: Automatically download podcasts and enclosures. Send podcasts to iTunes with your choice of genre and playlist.
   • Synchronization with NewsGator Online: Keep your subscriptions and news item status synchronized between NewsGator Online and NetNewsWire. New! Now NetNewsWire synchronizes your clippings with the NewsGator Online web-based reader and other NewsGator readers.
   • New! Automatic checking for newer versions of the software.
   • Scripting and Automator: Control NetNewsWire with AppleScript - and with Automator too, if you're running OS X 10.4 or greater. Add commands to NetNewsWire via the scripts menu.
   • Scripted Feeds: Generate custom RSS and Atom feeds via AppleScript, Perl, Python, Ruby, and other scripting languages.

Enhancements: Unspecified updates.

It gets your selected feed and/or headline with URL and sends it directly to a new mail message.

SQLite is a C library, written by D. Richard Hipp and others, thatimplements an imbeddable SQL database engine. Programs that link withthe SQLite library can have SQL database access without running aseparate RDBMS process.
The distribution comes with a standalonecommand-line access program (sqlite) that can be used to administer anSQLite database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLitelibrary.
SQLite is not a client library used to connect to a big databaseserver. SQLite is the server. The SQLite library reads and writesdirectly to and from the database files on disk.
SQLite is used by Mac OS X software such as NetNewsWire and SpamSieve.
When you download SQLite and build it on a stock Mac OS X system, thesqlite tool has a very primitive command-line editing facility. Thisbuild of sqlite uses the GNU readline library, which provides fancycommand-line editing (using, e.g. Emacs key bindings) as well as acommand history. Software built using the included libsqlite.a librarydoes not link with readline and thus is not tainted by the GPL.
Enhancements:
- Fix a bug that can lead to database corruption if there are two open connections to the same database and one connection does a VACUUM and the second makes some change to the database.
- Correctly handle quoted names in CREATE INDEX statements.
- Fix a naming conflict between sqlite.h and sqlite3.h.
- Avoid excess heap usage when copying expressions.
- Other minor bug fixes.

limpet 1.0 is such an easy-to-use and handy software that lets you automate the process of exporting your subscription list from NetNewsWire to allow easy sharing with friends and colleagues and simple synchronization with multiple RSS applications: even Windows-based RSS tools.
