Ranchero Software releases NetNewsWire 2.0

Ranchero Software today released NetNewsWire 2.0, a major update to its easy-to-use RSS and Atom newsreader for Mac OS X. The freeware version, NetNewsWire Lite, has also been updated to version 2.0.

NetNewsWire 2.0 streamlines the award-winning RSS and Atom newsreader by removing the weblog editor and adding many new newsreading features. NetNewsWire 2.0 includes a tabbed browser so you can read web pages with the convenience of staying in the same window. You can search your news items with a standard Apple search widget — as in Mail and other applications. NetNewsWire 2.0 downloads podcasts and enclosures, and sends podcasts to iTunes with with your choice of genre and playlist. The flagged items feature lets you mark items that you want to keep — they stay forever or until you mark them as unflagged.

NetNewsWire 2.0 is Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) compatible, and includes Automator actions to control functions in NetNewsWire.

Other new features include syncing, smart lists, search subscriptions, and built-in styles. NetNewsWire’s built-in list of feeds, the Sites Drawer, has been updated to include new categories and over 1000 new feeds that can be easily subscribed to.
