“NetNewsWire 2.1”

Brent has announced the release of NetNewsWire 2.1

NetNewsWire 2.1 has been released!

This release of NetNewsWire includes new features such as NewsGator syncing, posting to del.icio.us, sending articles via email, printing, and sorting subscriptions by attention. It’s also a universal binary and includes lots of performance enhancements and bug fixes.

This is the first new release since NewsGator bought Brent's company, Ranchero Software, last year. I've been beta testing 2.1 all along, but I haven't been participating on the list because I've been so busy! (Which is a good thing, considering.)

As you'd expect from Brent, this is a solid update. The synchro with NewsGator is smooth as butter, which is truly an impressive feature you have to see to believe. Read your feeds on your Mac at work, then when you get home you find that the items you already read at work are marked "already read" there, too. Away from your computer, but need your news fix? NewsGator's online service is *also* kept in sync with your copies of NetNewsWire.

Very cool. It's nice to have an intel-native build, too. ;-)
