Some FeedShow users experienced some difficulties (with Internet Explorer) when refreshing the left pane menu (feeds list). To solve this random issue, some modifications were made in this menu (AJAX suppressed). Now it’s a bit slower than it was (initialisation sequence), but it should be more robust.
Thank you to give me your feedback if you experience any problem.
A week before, Feedshow (beta) was launched.
Since then it has received great feedback and I would like to thank all of you who wrote about FeedShow news reader.
The list bellow is a current snapshot of the Technorati results to the “feedshow” request (older first):

Thank you.
Though the english version of the website is not complete, the FeedShow aggregator is now ready for bêta.
Alpha tests went quite well and the goal (simple and fast rss reader) seems to be reached so far.
Hope you will enjoy this new reader.

Feedshow is now almost ready to go for beta…
During the last few weeks a new crawler and parser were developed for FeedShow.
The crawler is now running and you will see it in your logs. Its name is “Feedshow/0.3″.
This crawler supports ‘conditional GET’ requests and handles file compression (gzip, deflate). It also adapts the crawl period automatically. A smooth algorithm adapts the period from 2 hours to 1 day depending on the update period of the RSS files (the final target is 1h to 1day).
The new parser is based on a modified version of the feedparser by Mark Pilgrim.
It can handle RSS 0.90, Netscape RSS 0.91, Userland RSS 0.91, RSS 0.92, RSS 0.93, RSS 0.94, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3, Atom 1.0, and CDF feeds. It also parses several popular extension modules, including Dublin Core and Apple’s iTunes extensions.
Not all of the features (data model) are currently used in the FeedShow user interface, but it would not be a problem to add some later.
I will now concentrate on fixing details in the user interface. No new features (for now), just concentrate on making FeedShow an easy, fast, robust, … RSS feed reader (agregator).
Please note that “alpha tests” are for experienced users.
All features are included in this version, but may be suppressed or changed without notice.
The application is not running on dedicated hardware but these tests will help to see how the application will scale on heavy load.
Of course some errors or downtime may occur during these tests.
Because the application may crash, you are encouraged to save your “feeds list” in OPML format so that you will be able to restore your configuration.
During “tests phases” you will get more details on the french version of this blog.
Please be patient, the final version is coming soon.
