What's new in 4.8.6
Dear users. This is (probably) the last release from 4.x line of RSS Guard. I had a looong thinking about current state of RSS Guard. You see, when I was starting the whole project, I wanted it to be reliable, relatively fast, stable, simple-to-use but with advanced features, maintainable. Somehow, we got lost in the process. RSS Guard relies on the number of external libraries, mainly Qt ones like QtWebEngine, QtWidgets, QtNetwork, but also SQLite, MariaDB etc. Every long-standing bug in any of these impacts RSS Guard as well. RSS Guard is obese and too big. It tries to do too many things and arguably does not do some of them too well. So I made some decisions and started working on new main line of RSS Guard. It will have initial version 5.0.0. Main note for all users of RSS Guard is that all your 4.8.x data will be compatible with it, so if you will want to switch to RSS Guard 5.0.0 when it comes out, you can (you will just need to copy your files over). Now, let me outline major things that will change (and yes, some of you might be sad, but that is just how it is): - complete removal of all web-browsing capabilities - complete removal of some major external dependencies like NodeJS - removal of AdBlock - removal of internal download manager - removal of many other smaller things which are not directly related to "feed reader" features Big chunk of RSS Guard source code is (or will be) removed and that allowed me to make source code base more maintainable. Note that some dropped features will actually be replaced and should be more working than before. I plan to add com...
