Vienna 3.6.0 Beta 2

Vienna 3.6.0 Beta 1

• Lift deployment target to macOS 10.11 & start modernizing code
• Replaced MASPreferences with Storyboard implementation (Preferences window)

Vienna 3.5.6

• Vienna is now notarized (needed by macOS Catalina and later)
• Much improved OpenReader support :

  • sensibly decrease the number of network requests:

    • use single 'mark-all-as-read' requests for marking folders read
    • avoid requesting feeds which haven't been updated

  • work around a blockade put on by Inoreader

  • add ‘hidden’ preference to use specific AppId/AppKey with Inoreader:

    Each user of Inoreader user is able to define (and monitor) a personal
    set of AppId / AppKey values through Inoreader preferences located at
    https://www.inoreader.com/all_articles#preferences-developer

    To have Vienna use these values instead of the default one, you have to
    type in Terminal two commands similar to the following:

    defaults write uk.co.opencommunity.vienna2 SyncingAppId 9876543210
defaults write uk.co.opencommunity.vienna2 SyncingAppKey JrS2smGyidtsxBOytDN1OWsSPcGURKWR

    To get back to the default values:

    defaults delete uk.co.opencommunity.vienna2 SyncingAppId
defaults delete uk.co.opencommunity.vienna2 SyncingAppKey

  • adapt to feed identifiers used by TheOldReader and FreshRSS (numerical Ids instead of URLs)
