Version 2.0.3 was released on July 3rd. This is now the 11th version of LuckNews.
Google Reader has now been turned off. This is a little unfortunate for those people who have been using it. If you've been using Google Reader and are looking for an alternative - try LuckNews! Its a free download. Try LuckNews with up to 8 subscriptions for free. Beyond 8 subscriptions there are in-app purchases available to expand the capacity. In the US you can purchase an unlimited download capacity for only $1.99 - its inexpensive. Give it a try.
Version 2.0.3 is a bug fix release not a feature release. The changes in this version is fairly minor. Anybody who has been using an earlier version without any issues won't find anything new in this version.
All of the changes in this version are there as a result of feedback I have received from customers. I had a customer in Australia report a number of problems when he imported his Google Reader data. He was kind enough to provide me with his data and it is all importing very well now. I also had a customer who ran into problems with articles he had read which were re-appearing as unread articles. I have modified the rules for how and when articles are deleted from the database to avoid this problem in the future.
The fixes are:
• Fixes a bug where a subscription containing articles which had absolutely no content would cause a problem when updating the database
• Improvements to OPML import. Google Reader is providing some interesting data, which is now handled
• Subscriptions imported from OPML which refer to invalid feeds are now imported rather than being ignored. I decided it was better to let the user deal with this error rather than ignoring the errors
• Improved the article deletion rules
As a reminder - if you are a user of LuckNews, and like it, please add a comment to the Apple App store. If you like the app and have other friends who use Mac's - help spread the word :-)
Thank you for your support!
Cheers,
Craig.
