RSS Viewer: Unicode Support Now Available

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

We appear to have possibility resolved the issues around unicode support without requiring an update.  The issue appears to have originated from the server and the current version works without changes.  Unfortunately, existing articles and feeds will not show up properly, but ongoing articles should properly begin showing up as of today.

If you still have issues with certain characters or character sets not displaying, please let us know or drop us a comment.

RSS Viewer: Upcoming Maintenance Tonite [Complete]

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

[Updated Feb 19, 2010 6:48 AM EST] We apologize for the extra downtime.  Everything should be back up.  Let us know if you see any issues.  We hope to get our 2.0 testing started this weekend.  Note that we still have room for testers, so email us to get on board.

[Updated Feb 18, 2010 8:30 AM EST] Unfortunately our update process did not go as smooth as we hoped so things are taking longer to resolve.  We hope to be back up by mid day.  Thanks for your continued patience.

RSS Viewer will be going down for maintenance tonite at 11 PM EST in order to begin transitioning to our next release set to begin alpha testing this weekend.  We plan to be down all nite migrating everything over.  All access including logging into RSS Viewer will be unavailable.  We will update this blog and our twitter account when the maintenance starts and completes.

If you are interested in alpha/beta testing and have not yet replied, please send an email to info@znetdevelopment.com.  We still have spots available.

RSS Viewer 2.0 Status

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

As many of you know we were trying to get our 2.0 release out by end of January.  Unfortunately, that date has passed, but we are still hard at work trying to tie up the final loose ends of the release.  All of our planned features have been implemented and we are just cleaning up and trying to get everything nice and polished.  We want to ensure a great experience when we release our update, so continue to bear with us.

That being said, we will be looking for beta testers in the upcoming weeks to help us test this release to ensure we meet that great experience.  If you are interested in helping us out, send us an email at info@znetdevelopment.com with your registered email address.  Note that you must not be using a jailbroken device to participate in the beta program.  Unfortunately, we will only be selecting a few users.  In particular we are looking for users who want to test out the following:

  • Google Reader synchronization
  • Friends and sharing items
  • Authenticated Feeds
  • UTF-8 and International Support

Thanks again for everyone’s continued patience.
