    <release version="1.15.9" date="2025-01-25">
      <description>
        <p>Today sees a new release of Liferea with fixes, translation updates and some major changes.</p>
        <p><em>Integrated Download Manager</em></p>
        <p>Starting with Liferea 1.15.9 there is a simple integrated download manager. The idea is to
        be roughly on-par with the features modern browsers support. While the download manager
        is basic it should improve user experience a lot.Up until now we had a hard-coded list of
        typical download managers. This had several disadvantages. Now Liferea has a very simple
        download manager implemented using simple single thread Python network fetching. Hopefully
        this will increase usability and download workflows.</p>
        <p><em>Rendering Changes</em></p>
        <p>This release fixes the dark theme switching regression in the item view. The dark mode item view
        feature was lost some releases ago because of GTK4 deprecations. Since GTK4 there is no more
        GTK supported way to determine theme colors.

        To still do dark mode switching Liferea follows (Devhelp and other tools using WebkitGTK) which
        switch light/dark mode purely with CSS and static theme-independant colors.

        Sadly this will mean a visible color mismatch to the GTK theme. This is mostly appearant in
        dark mode. Also the link color is set to blueish and can't follow the GTK theme color for links anymore.

        Many other applications are also suffering from this. Sorry there is just no way to do it anymore.
        If you really hate the default CSS style please consider changing them using custom CSS.</p>
        <p><em>Item View Layout Redesign</em></p>
        <p>Along with the theme adaptions come a redesign of the item view. To be honest the look and feel
        is heavily inspired by Jan Lukas Gernert's NewsFlashGTK which I consider very well done. It is a very
        calm theme reducing distraction and a good balance for reading longer and shorter texts.</p>
        <p><em>Reader Mode Removed</em></p>
        <p>The user facing options to enable/disable "Reader Mode" in the preferences and the item view pane
        content menu are now gone. The code paths were too complicated and the results and fallback in case
        of errors was very unsatisfactory.

        Still the use of "Readability.js" the library behind "Reader Mode" is still active. It is now automatically
        applied when the HTML scraping is used. No user interaction needed.</p>
        <p><em>Changes:</em></p>
        <ul>
          <li>#1391: GObject refactoring nodePtr -> Node, updateJobPtr -> UpdateJob to allow plugins modifying the feed list. (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1387: Dark theme lost in preview window (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes HTTP redirects not working (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes memory leaks in network callbacks (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes unnecessary LifereaBrowser clearing on layout change (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>New unit tests for update handling code (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>#1388 Implemented download manager plugin, all preferences for external tools were dropped (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Refactoring of plugin management, code reorganized. Disabling plugins now does not disable base plugins (needed for auth and node sources) as this would prevent startup (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Refactoring of content scraping, processing now happens in Javascript on entire source documents. We now store a bit more data, but get better extraction results (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Support for lazy loading &lt;img data-src=""&gt; definitions. This unbreaks images when scraping some websites (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Redesign of the HTML view. Look and feel is adapted from Newsflash. There is now a max-width and less cluttered reading. (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Getting rid of XSLT in favor of using Handlebars.js (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Updated Czech translation (Amereyeu)</li>
          <li>Updated Albanian translation (Besnik Bleta)</li>

        <p>Changes:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Solve some Webkit deprecations (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1359: Prevent passing "" as CLI argument causing a useless subscription. Also checks for duplicates when subscribing from CLI/DBUS. (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1372: Fix feed icon not parsing if the URL doesn't have a file extension bug (Stomern)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1382: Doesn't recognize atom:link element with no rel attribute bug (Lars Windolf, reported by Ed Davies)</li>
          <li>Update of Turkish translation (emintufan)</li>

    <release version="1.15.7" date="2024-06-20">
      <description>
        <p>This is a release introducing some changes. First there is a new privacy setting you can
        enable: additionally to Do-Not-Track Liferea now supports the Do-Not-Sell user data setting.</p>
        <p>There is a major change to the enclosure (media attachments) handling. The build in media player
        working on a "attachment" style list view under the item content was removed. Now enclosures
        are added via HTML audio and video tags below the item content. The idea is to play those
        purely with WebkitGTK support. Downloading is still supported by right clicking on those tags.</p>
        <p>Finally a long standing issue was improved: when a feed does not provide item titles Liferea now
        uses a teaser of the item content as the title. This for example fixes the usability of Mastodon feeds.</p>
        <p>Changes:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Add Sec-GPC header support via new preference to prevent user data selling (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Drop enclosure list view in favour of embedded HTML5 audio and video elements (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1332: Improve "*** No title! ***" for items without title (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Update appdata for 1.15.6 by (bbhtt)</li>
          <li>appdata: Update screenshot captions and remove dead link by (bbhtt)</li>
          <li>Allow building with libsoup 3.0.7 by (ittner)</li>
        </ul>

    <release version="1.15.6" date="2024-03-15">
      <description>
        <p>This is a small bugfix release with several translation updates and optimizations for better handling HTML content.</p>
        <p>Changes:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Automatically drop empty content elements (e.g. placeholders for images/iframes/ads not loaded)</li>
          <li>Automatically set inline SVG sizes from viewBox attribute to prevent max-width SVGs</li>
          <li>Hide <code> nav </code> elements extracted by HTML5 content extraction</li>
          <li>Remove G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag from DHTML stripping regex handling as valgrind reports memory errors with this.</li>
          <li>src/node_type.h: add #include <code>libxml/tree.h</code> for xmlNodePtr type (@trofi)</li>

    <release version="1.15.5" date="2023-12-24">
      <description>
        <p>This release brings small improvements to the trayicon plugin and content filtering
        using DOMPurify which should increase security against XSS attacks via feeds providing
        rich HTML content.</p>
        <p>Changes:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Remove Mate workaround from trayicon plugin (Yuri Konotopov)</li>
          <li>Set prgname to match application id (needed for KDE) (bbhtt)</li>
          <li>Support XDG_CONFIG_HOME for trayicon plugoin config (bbhtt)</li>
          <li>Update Readability.js to recent version (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Added DOMPurify.js for content filtering (Lars Windolf)</li>

    <release version="1.15.4" date="2023-10-23">
      <description>
        <p>This release brings small fixes and a rework of the trayicon plugin</p>
        <p>Thanks to the work of Yuri Konotopov the trayicon plugin now supports AppIndicator
        and libayatana. The important difference here is that the new item counter can be shown
        as a text label next to the icon which makes for much improved rendering.</p>
        <p>There are some limitations though as AppIndicator might not work perfect in all implementations
        (e.g. XFCE).</p>
        <p>Changes:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Improve on #1192 by doing pane sanity checks on each resize (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1297: Reorder loading plugins and deactivating webkit-settings (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>#1305 Refactoring of the trayicon plugin to support AppIndicator and libayatana (Yuri Konotopov)</li>

      <description>
        <p>This is a new feature release. It introduces the long awaited switch to libsoup3 and libwebkit2gtk-4.1.
        Thanks to many testers helping testing the latest code from git some errors were ironed out already. Still there is an issue remaining where feed updates are getting stuck when updating while DNS resolution/Wifi/network... fails. Please comment if you also experience this issue! Also noteworthy is a simplification of the debug handling which removes three CLI parameters --debug-performance, --debug-trace and --debug-verbose</p>

    <release version="1.13.9" date="2022-07-26">
      <description>
        <p>This will be the last unstable release before the first 1.14 release candidate. It contains
         bugfixes and a generalization of the Google Reader API implementation we already had
         for TheOldReader. This implementation was improved, fixing some bugs and can now
         be used with arbitrary Google Reader services.
        </p>
        <p>New features: Google Reader API support

           If you are a FeedHQ, FreshRSS, Basquz user or a a user of any other Google Reader
           compatible service, you can now subscribe to those services.

           Note: it currently doesn't work with Miniflux due to this miniflux/v2#1498
           which is probably a bug in Miniflux. Once it is solved Miniflux also can be used.

           If you experience any issues please open a ticket for support!
        </p>
        <p>GUI simplification: less cluttered item list

           The item list has seen some rework. The quite large left padding (cause by reserved space
           for expansion header) is now gone. Also the enclosures icon column was dropped. When
           using Liferea in wide mode this really gives back a lot of vertical space, so Liferea in wide mode
           becomes more useful half-maximized or in split screen situations.

           Please give feedback how you like the change, especially the rather small padding left of the
           favicon column (when in wide mode)!
        </p>
        <p>Changes:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Update to Readability.js 0.41 (better image and table handling) (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Changes to UserAgent handling: same UA is now used for both feed fetching
                and internal browsing. User agent now indicates Android+Mobile per default
                instead of suggesting a Linux desktop to better adapt to the smaller
                (in comparison to browsers) rendering pane. Additionally special env
                vars LIFEREA_UA and LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS now also affect the internal
                browsing.</li>
          <li>Improve HTML5 extraction: extract main if it exists and no article was found</li>
          <li>#1117: Hide unused expander space in item list. This saves horizontal space. (Sefler Zhou)</li>
          <li>Drop enclosure icon from item list. This saves horizontal space. (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>#515, #962, #1113 adds generic Google Reader API support (this enables access to FeedHQ, FreshRSS, Miniflux...)</li>
          <li>#1108, #113: Improve performance by different check order in itemset merging (suggested by mozbugbox)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1033: Subscribing defaulted to HTML5 feeds even when real feeds do exist. (reported by Hanno Braun)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1111: wrong base URI in reader mode (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1112: Image duplication caused by feeds providing an image link which is also in the item description as additional metadata. (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Update of Dutch translation (Gert-dev)</li>
        </ul>
