24 <p>Another Christmas, another Newsboat release! Hope you're used to
25 these by now, because we don't intend to stop shipping
26 them&nbsp;:)</p>
27
28 <p>You all deserve a present, and Newsboat 2.22 contains two! One,
29 it finally learned to ask you for confirmation before marking all
30 feeds as read. No more data loss! (But please make backups anyway.)
31 Another, is a bugfix that should make the infamous "an instance is
32 already running, PID 0" error go away. It's replaced by another
33 error *sigh*, but that one is more descriptive at least.</p>
34
35 <p>Aside from that, this release contains a bunch of smaller, but
36 still very nice, features and bug fixes, so please take a look at
37 the changelog, and then take the new version for a spin!</p>

59 <p>Today is Newsboat’s third birthday, and it caught me by
60 surprise. Mainly because our GPG key stopped working (it expired),
61 but also because it doesn’t actually feel like three years to
62 me.</p>
63
64 <p>It feels way less than that. Three years is a lot of time, yet
65 I didn’t manage to grok all the corners of the codebase. I also
66 didn’t make any architectural changes (except for starting the Rust
67 porting, perhaps — by the way, that effort has been going for two
68 years now!). Even after three years of doing this, it feels like
69 I’m just getting started.</p>
70
71 <p>It also feels far longer than that. Multiple high-volume
72 contributors came and went, each marking an era of sorts. A total
73 of 78 people submitted pull requests, a few emailed patches. Many
74 more reported bugs, discussed new features, described their
75 use-cases. I remember many of those interactions, and it feels
76 surprising that we fit all of them into just three years.</p>
77
78 <p>Even just looking at 2.21’s changelog, I am taken aback by the
79 amount of stuff that we managed to accomplish over the last three
80 months. And the changelog doesn’t even tell the whole story, as we
81 also did quite a lot of refactoring.</p>
82
83 <p>It’s as good a time as any to say thank you. Thanks to all the
84 users who run Newsboat, report bugs, and help us with debugging and
85 testing. Thanks to all the developers who fix and improve things,
86 and spend time addressing all my nitpicks during code review. The
87 project wouldn’t be here without all of you! (That’s a cliche thing
88 to say, but it is actually true: just look how many bugs
89 contributors fix, and notice that my commit activity is correlated
90 with other’s work).</p>
91
92 <p>Okay, enough of my rambling. Go get yourself a shiny new feed
93 reader:
94 <a href="https://newsboat.org/releases/2.21/newsboat-2.21.tar.xz">the tarball</a>,

97 <a href="https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#221---2020-09-20">the changelog entry</a>.
98 Oh, and do fetch an updated GPG key 4ED6CD61932B9EBE; I bumped the
99 expiry date by a year.</p>

114 <p>Newsboat 2.20 was our most broken release so far. It introduced
115 <i>four</i> regressions:</p>
116
117 <ol>
118 <li><code>make install</code> was broken on BSDs because we used
119 a GNU-only flag;</li>
120
121 <li>it unintentionally started requiring a space before the
122 semicolon in macros;</li>
123
124 <li>it could segfault upon startup under certain conditions;</li>
125
126 <li>in Spanish locale, feeds couldn't be sorted via <code>g</code>
127 and <code>G</code> keys.</li>
128 </ol>
129
130 <p>These are all fixed by this release, so please upgrade.</p>
131
132 <p>We added more tests now, so the first two bugs won't happen
133 again. But the other two can only be caught by vigilant users
134 for now, so if you can, please build directly from Git and
135 report everything that's broken.</p>
136
137 <p>Thanks for your patience with us even as we break something
138 every other release!</p>

163 <p>Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well.</p>
164
165 <p>We didn’t set out to make it like that, but the new release is
166 balanced in every way. There are as many visible changes as
167 behind-the-scenes refactorings, and the visible changes are split
168 evenly between bugfixes, improvements, and new features. I’m happy
169 to report that, despite the current world situation, Newsboat’s

229 <p>Your regularly scheduled Newsboat release is on the dot!</p>
230
231 <p>Code-wise, this is a pretty uneventful one. Most of the work
232 was related to upkeep — slight refactorings, fixes, tweaks to
233 the infrastructure. But we did manage to squeeze a couple
234 bugfixes in there, too: <code>unbind-key -a</code> no longer
235 breaks command line, and Newsboat no longer ignores browser’s
236 exit code when marking article as read.</p>
237
238 <p>Perhaps the most user-visible change this time around is the
239 logo. That’s right: a user by the name of noobilanderi sat down
240 with Inkscape and drew us <a
241 href="https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/blob/master/logo.svg">a

269 <summary type="html"><![CDATA[
270 <p>Within days of 2.17 release, we got reports of two regressions.</p>
271
272 <p>Users who set <code>max-items</code> (to limit the number of
273 articles that Newsboat stores) found that no feeds are updated
274 anymore. That was an unintended consequence of the “slight
275 performance improvement” I mentioned in the previous entry;
276 I thought Newsboat is doing useless work, when in fact that
277 work was necessary for the <code>max-items</code> setting to
278 function properly. The “improvement” was partially
279 reverted to amend this.</p>
280
281 <p>The second, no less severe, regression prevented Newsboat from
282 loading configs that used <code>#</code> character for anything
283 but comments, e.g. as part of a regular expression for
284 <code>highlight-article</code>. This was a result of another
285 bugfix, where I failed to consider if the hash sign can occur
286 in the middle of a config string. We couldn’t simply revert
287 this one, so I implemented yet another bugfix, that hopefully
288 squashes both the original bug and the regression, while not
289 introducing any new ones.</p>
290
291 <p>Sorry about the mess. Please download the bugfix release from out site: <a

310 <p>With this release, Newsboat gained a new feature: you can now
311 save <i>all</i> the articles in the feed to text files, by
312 invoking <code>save-all</code> operation (it’s not bound to any
313 key by default). There’s also a few bug fixes, and even
314 a slight performance improvement.</p>
315
316 <p>The codebase is now 18.7% Rust (according to GitHub). I think we
317 picked most of the low-hanging fruit by now. I expect the
318 rewrite to progress more slowly from here on, as we need to

400 <p>It’s second-to-last weekend of March, so it’s time for a new
401 release. Please welcome Newsboat 2.15!</p>
402
403 <p>2.14.1 was released just over a month ago, and stole many of the
404 features meant for 2.15. As a result, this release is quite
405 slim. The only new features are a way to shuffle a feed, and
406 “delete all items” that now works in query feeds. The rest is
407 the usual crop of bugfixes.</p>
408
409 <p>The Rust rewrite is progressing slowly but steadily. This
410 release could be bigger have I not chosen to hold off a big
411 chunk of code that hasn’t been field-tested yet. (Believe it or
412 not, we <b>do</b> test some of the stuff before the
413 release). If GitHub is to be believed, 6.9% of our code is now

434 <summary type="html"><![CDATA[
435 <p>Hey there,</p>
436
437 <p>Turns out Newsboat 2.14.1 fails to build with Rust 1.25.
438 That's the oldest Rust release we support; it was published at
439 the end of March 2018. Rust 1.26 and newer work fine.</p>
440
441 <p>This is entirely my fault: I bumped our crates' versions without
442 updating the Cargo.lock. Rust 1.25 trusts the lock file blindly,
443 and fails when it can't find the old crate versions specified there.</p>
444
445 <p>The problem has been fixed in the master branch. See
446 <a href="https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/commit/cbad27a19d270f2f0fce9317651e2c9f0aa22865.patch">this
447 patch</a>. You can generate a more conservative version (that
448 doesn't update third-party crates) with <code>cargo update
449 --package libnewsboat --package libnewsboat-ffi</code>.</p>
450
451 <p>With just one compiler version affected, I don't feel this is
452 important enough for another point release, so I won't be
453 issuing any.</p>
454
455 <p>If this inconveniences you in any way, I'd like to hear from
456 you! I'm genuinely interested in how old a Rust compiler I
457 should support. I arrived at 1.25 lower bound in a totally
458 unsystematic way: picked what Debian stable had, then bumped
459 one version up because of some crate I added as a dependency.
460 Please <a href="https://newsboat.org/">get in touch</a> if
461 you're using anything older than latest stable.</p>

472 <p>The main purpose of this release is to fix a bug in 2.14 that

527 <summary type="html"><![CDATA[
528 <p>The 2.13 release is special in two ways.</p>
529
530 <p>First of all, it marks an anniversary: exactly a year ago, we
531 forked from Newsbeuter to bring the program back into shape. We
532 partially succeeded: many bugs were fixed, a number of rough
533 corners were smoothed, and the atmosphere around the project
534 improved noticeably.</p>
535
536 <p>Second, this release is going to be the last purely-C++ one. As
537 I explain in <a
538 href="https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/89">#89</a>,
539 I believe that C++ is a death by a thousand cuts for this project.
540 This discourages me from working on it. It’s as much a personal
541 problem as it is technical one, and I’m absolutely <i>not</i> sure
542 that I’m doing the right thing, but: I’m rewriting Newsboat in
543 Rust.</p>
544
545 <p>In the short term, this means we will be introducing bugs
546 instead of fixing them, and features will be much harder to add
547 while we’re moving. Please bear with us!</p>
548
549 <p>Package maintainers will have to spend time figuring out how to
550 package Newsboat now. I’m sorry about that. If you’re a maintainer,
551 and you run into <i>any</i> problems, please get in touch via <a
552 href="https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues">the issue
553 tracker</a>, <a
554 href="http://groups.google.com/group/newsboat">mailing list</a>
555 (newsboat@googlegroups.com), or IRC (#newsboat on Freenode). I want
556 to fix or forestall any problems upstream, so you don’t have to
557 suffer as much.</p>
558
559 <p>Despite all this, I believe that long-term benefits outweigh any
560 temporary discomfort. A rewrite should straighten out a few of the
561 nastier corners of the codebase, and put us in a better position to
562 actually evolve the project.</p>
563
564 <p>If you’re interested in helping out, please <a
565 href="https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat">watch the project on
566 GitHub</a>; soon, I will be opening issues about components that
567 can be rewritten. I can provide guidance around our codebase, plus
568 some general mentoring (I’m not ready to teach Rust, since I’m
569 still learning it myself, but I’ll share what I know). In short, if
570 you know a bit of Rust and can read C++, you’re qualified; please
571 come!</p>
572
573 <p>In the meantime, you’ll probably need a feed reader; you can get
574 one here: <a
575 href="https://newsboat.org/releases/2.13/newsboat-2.13.tar.xz">the
576 tarball</a>, <a
