Shrook v2.64 released

I've just released Shrook v2.64.

  • The biggest new feature is Sparkle, the automatic updating system that installs updates for you. That means this is the last update you'll have to install manually.
  • I've beefed up the code that cleans up XML before processing, which means things like malformed Unicode byte sequences and misplaced ampersands won't break the feed in Shrook any more.
  • You can now press the right arrow key to trigger expanding the item pane. Press the left arrow key twice to collapse it again.
  • There's a new option "Ignore timestamps for sorting" in the Configure tab of the Get Info window. Enable this on feeds with dodgy timestamps (especially future dated), and they'll no longer mess up your listings.
  • There was a crash that would happen when you tried to use the space bar to jump to the next unread item when there weren't any, under certain circumstances. That's now fixed.
  • The UI freezing problem when clicking between channels and items should now be completely fixed.
Finally, it has a completely new icon, based on the one I designed for the iPhone.

The new Shrook doesn't work properly for me: the item fonts are missing, and I can't set new ones, so there's no text in the right-most pane.

Thanks for the crash fixes, though! Love this app.

I'm having trouble too, with the 'content' pane - after the app update, the text never loads. Here's a snapshot, to help make things clear: http://i33.tinypic.com/o0bdbk.jpg.
