Currently available translations: • English (US) • Dutch (NL) • Italian (IT) provided by Michele Pezza (https://github.com/MichelePezza) Current limitations: • There's no scrolling mechanism for tab bar overflow yet. If you create more tabs than your screen size can show, you can't currently scroll through them. • There's no option to choose a background color yet. Changes since 0.0.9.2: New: • Show dimmed italic "untitled" placeholder to indicate feed has no title. • Added setting to show default icon for missing feed icons. • Minor copy changes. Fixed: • RSS feeds with version 0.9 were not recognized and could therefore not be read. • Bottom padding for scrollable settings dialog was not showing in Firefox. • Special characters, such as the ampersand, in tab names where unnecessarily encoded as html entities and prevented those pages from being selected. • Reverted previous mentioned incorrect special characters fix and fixed it properly. • Force text/xml Content-Type when loading feeds, because some servers incorrectly set text/html Content-Type for feeds. • Improved feed detection with aforementioned misconfigured servers.
