Download FeedDemon 2.6.0.20

NewsGator Technologies just released version 2.6.0.20 of FeedDemon. This program is a so-called RSS aggregator for the Windows platform and is able to regularly check RSS feeds from, for example, websites, weblogs and forums and to alert you to new content. In addition, it can also receive podcasts and search for new RSS feeds that match your own interests. Although there is no mention of it in the changelog, the most notable change in this release is that the program no longer needs to be purchased, but is released as freeware. The main changes are summarized by NewsGator itself as follows:

Top new features in FeedDemon 2.6:

• “Panic Button” – detects when you have a ton of unread items and offers to mark them (or a subset of them) as read
• Significant performance improvements
• Redesigned newspaper UI
• Significant improvements to offline reading support, including redesigned “prefetching” of feeds
• Inline page search
• Attention reporting/APML export
