Just as I was not able to take care of bpk.cc in the last
months, I was also not able to take care of compactRSS as much as I
wanted.
But as bpk.cc is now up and alive again, it's also time to push
out a new release of compactRSS with a few bugfixes.
The most important fix of course is that Live Search works again
now (and is now rebranded to the new "Bing" brand). While Microsoft
seemed to have fixed the issue with empty results for a couple of
months, the problem popped up again (and was never fixed).
Now I digged deeper into the Bing API and found a solution that
brings you a permanent fix. At least I hope so (seriously,
Redmond!).
Here's the complete list what have been fixed in release
1.0.12.26:
- Web search for feeds is now working
again
Searching by using Live Search returned no result over the
last couple of months
- Rebranded "Live Search" to "Bing"
- Dropped support for Live Search 1.x API
You cannot fallback to the 1.x API in compactRSS now by
setting the relevant flag in the config file. Live Search / Bing
API 2.0 is now the only supported version.
- "Trace" menu entry is now removed completely if tracing
is not enabled
Until now, it was just disabled ("grayed out"). In fact,
this menu entry was never meant to be seen by the end-user.
- Fixed wrong header text in OPML Import explorer
window
- A few other small fixes or optimizations
As the update service is currently still not available, you will
have to manually download the setup (cab) file to your phone from
this website and execute it. It will update the old version
automatically so you won't have to remove your current installation
of compactRSS at least.
Version 1.0.12.26 will be available shortly for download from
the product page and the download section of
this website.
