Hmmm. The exe doesn't even run on my desktop. So I downloaded the zip
file, extractd the cab and copied it to my PPC. Installed it (after
removing 1.3.2 and rebooting), which I though was successful. But the
app won't run. Says it isn't a valid PPC app.
So I tried reinstalling. The automatic WM5 uninstall failed, which I
chose to ignore and let the beta keep installing. That failed saying
the application didn't have sufficient system privileges, which is weird
since the device is app unlocked.
So I went back to 1.3.2 and imported my opml. But none of my settings
were saved. I knew I should have exported the registry key for the app.
Bummer.
Is there anything you want me to try?
Scott

Template for adding new sites:
If you are adding new site, you can define default settings for it, e.g.
turn on online content caching, image caching, etc. configured only via
registry (I will post details later in a separate mail)
How To Install
--------------
1. Backup your OPML file.
2. Uninstall 1.3.2 (or older)
3. Install the new 1.3.3beta1
4. Import OPML file
You might encounter some troubles when upgrading form previous version.
If you decide to upgrade, report all upgrade related problems.
Bug Reporting
-------------
Each bug in a separate mail, please. Do NOT write one mail with a list
of found bug. It is harder for me to process it.
Logging feature is disabled by default, you can enable it by setting:
HKCU\Software\DaProfik\pRSSreader, LogLevel[DWORD] = 5,
LogFile[String]=<path\logfile>
Localizations
-------------
Nowadays, there are 8 localizations available. It tooks me some time to
prepare the diff for all localizations. Please, be patient, I have still
some very important work to do, which has to be finished before
Christmas. The updates will be prepared during the beta testing. I will
let you know about that fact.
Notes
-----
There are some registry tweaks that are not published yet, I will do it
in a separate mail.
This beta is not rock stable. I made some tests and results are quite
good. So, do not forget to backup your OPML file. The backup of PDA is
also recommended. pRSSreader should not make such big troubles, but it
is for sure.
That's all for now,
