• Made a change to how images are handled that will cut down on memory and disk use

• Make the app run on iOS 17 and iOS 18

• Sync the setting for syncing unread content in iCloud
• Do incremental syncing with iCloud, so it doesn’t have to start over if it gets interrupted
• Add special case for YouTube — don’t put a feed in timeout after a 4xx response. Keep trying. (YouTube feeds have been giving intermittent 4xx responses lately)

• Simplified iCloud Storage Stats — focusing on cleaning up article content records that can be removed

• New iCloud sync feature — Settings > iCloud Storage Stats. Allows you to view stats and clean up storage. More details here: https://netnewswire.com/help/optimize-icloud.html
• iCloud account now does weekly cleanups in the background, which will help with syncing performance and with lowering iCloud storage use

Added a new setting for the iCloud account — you can turn on/off syncing the content of unread articles.

If you already have an iCloud account, the setting is on, because that’s how it’s been working this whole time. But for future iCloud accounts the settings defaults to off, since it saves so much time and energy.

Note: for this setting to really turn off syncing content of unread articles, it needs to be turned off on all your devices running NetNewsWire.

Also note: turning this off won’t magically erase the content that’s already been uploaded — that content will still have to sync. It will get cleaned up gradually, in the normal course of things.

Changes since 7.0.2:

• Fixed bug storing credentials in Keychain when there's a previous item — which could cause authentication issues with syncing systems

Changes since 7.0.1:

• Added a new Error Log window — see Window > Error Log. It shows errors from refreshing, syncing, keychain, etc. (Note: it probably doesn’t show all possible errors yet. We’re still auditing the code for places to add error logging.)
• Further improved the error message reporting for credentials errors
• Fixed the missing-endpoint-URL bug with self-hosted sync accounts (FreshRSS most commonly)
• Fixed a NewsBlur syncing bug that had the app re-sending previously-sent sync statuses to the server, which was wildly inefficent
• Added Cache-Control feature: the app is now looking at the max-age and not downloading the feed again before it’s time — but with an important caveat: any max-age beyond five hours is set to five hours. (Our testing shows that lots of sites that use Cache-Control have it misconfigured for their feeds. The largest max-age we’ve seen is one year, and months are not uncommon.)
• Added a 29-minute minimum on refresh for any given feed
• Reverted a change where clicking on URLs with #fragment — when they otherwise match the current page URL — would assume an in-page navigation instead of opening in browser. Unfortunately the fragment section is very often not included in the article in the RSS, so we do need to open in browser
• Fixed a crash that could happen setting the window title
• Now more aggressively unloading memory on moving to the background
• Cut down on amount of disk writes — now storing account and feed settings in SQLite databases instead of in plist files, which is more efficient
