I’ve finally got around to testing a new release of Liquid and have just uploaded it for download. As it’s such a major version i’ve decided to number it the final 1.0.0 release. It features some significant changes, such as the ability to download all missing podcasts, downloaded podcast tooltips, and sorting on all tables. You can find the changes detailed on the Liquid Changelog page and as always you can find the latest version at the Liquid Download page.
One thing to note is that you must manually uninstall all previous versions manually before installing, hopefully this shouldn’t be required in the future.
I’ve just released version 0.5.0 of Liquid, an alternative podcast downloader, I’ve added new a feed management tool, support for (X)HTML podcast descriptions in the podcast tooltip and media type selection when viewing a feed. You can find the changes detailed on the Liquid Changelog page. As before you can find the latest version at the Liquid Download page.
I’ve just released version 0.4.0 of Liquid, an alternative podcast downloader, I’ve added more ID3 tag updating, the ability to minimise to the system tray and lots of other little enhancements and fixes. You can find the changes detailed on the Liquid Changelog page. As before you can find the latest version at the Liquid Download page.
Mozilla has released Thunderbird 3.0, their email and news client, but after upgrading from Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 I found that my RSS feeds were no longer displaying the linked web page when viewing them, instead they were displaying the article summary.
There are two different settings controlling this functionality, the first can be found by entering ‘Manage Subscriptions’ and editing the individual feed. There is a tick box called ‘Show the article summary instead of loading the web page’, to load the web page, make sure this is unticked.
The second setting can be found by viewing the feed and then on the main menu navigate to ‘View > Feed Message Body As’ and selecting ‘Default Format’.
I’ve just released version 0.3.0 of Liquid, an alternative podcast downloader, I’ve added experimental episode number extraction as well as attempting to fix a bug with queued downloads not working. You can find the changes detailed on the Liquid Changelog page. As before you can find the latest version at the Liquid Download page.
