- Fixed bug where authenticated feeds did not prompt for first time credentials.
- Add Scripts menu that displays all scripts under ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Vienna. By default this is enabled under Mac OSX 10.3 and disabled under 10.4 since there is a system wide Scripts menu on the status bar that replicates this functionality.
- Rewrote the code that registers the default RSS reader. It wasn't picking up all possible candidates. Now it shows all candidate applications and also adds a Select... option so the user can manually search for the application. This also fixes the bug where Vienna took over the feed handler from others without permission.
- Smart folders now support 'any' in addition to the implied 'all' condition. So you can now create folders which match any one or more combination of criteria.
- Clicking the dock icon now reopens the main window if it was previously closed.
- Added Swedish localisation (contributed by Christoffer Larsson).
- Several internal fixes for issues thrown up by Swedish localisation.
- View->Next Unread now goes to folders that have subscriptions with unread articles as well as to the subscriptions themselves. This causes Vienna to respect the closed state of group folders.

- New About Vienna window.
- The count of unread articles now show up as button in the folder list to the right of each subscription name.

- Fix import/export to convert characters such as <, > and & to and from their entity equivalents in URL fields as per XML specification.
- Add View->Article Page to display the original web page from which the article came. The short cut for this is 'P'. The command toggles between the web page and the original article.
- Support content:encoding in RSS 2.0 feeds and use that to override description where available. (This fixes the parsing of sites such as http://feeds.feedburner.com/MajorNelson).
- In Atom feeds, where no explicit author is specified for an article, use the feed author if available.
- Mark All Read now works in smart folders.
- Add File->Close Window command to close the main Vienna window and Window->Main Window to reopen it again. While the main window is closed, all UI commands are disabled.
- Add "Refresh All Subscriptions" to the application dock menu. Other things will follow on the dock menu but this was the most common one that people requested.
- Trim title fields to the first non-blank line. Some feeds had titles with multiple lines and these cause display problems in the UI.
- When subscribing to a feed, we now check to see if there's an active connection available and if so, we refresh the new feed immediately. If there's no active connection then the refresh is deferred.
- New layout style when the article pane is to the right of the article list. In this layout, the articles are automatically displayed in summary style with four fixed columns. (Note that you cannot add or remove columns in this layout). When the article pane is at the bottom, the usual table layout appears. For simplicity I haven't exposed any way to change layout independently of the position of the article pane. It'll be interesting to see if anybody really wants the summary view when the article pane is below the article list.
released 2005-07-07 (2.0 BETA 1 build)
- Original beta 1 release.
