FeedDemon

What's new in this version:

- Added: Popular topics - displays the most popular links that appear within your subscriptions. Select "Popular Topics" from the Browse menu or click the "Popular Topics" toolbutton on the toolbar above FeedDemon's browser.
- Added: In order to tighten security, FeedDemon's newspapers now completely disable script (details).
- Added: "Blue Vista" newspaper style
- Added: YouTube Video Search added to keyword searches in subscription wizard
- Added: Integration with Windows Live Writer
- Added: When the newspaper has the focus, the following shortcuts are supported:, Ctrl+ArrowUp or K = previous item, Ctrl+ArrowDown J = next item, Ctrl+ArrowLeft = previous page, Ctrl+ArrowRight = next page, F = flag item, S = send item to, B = add item to news bin, R = mark item read, V = open item link, T = open item link in new tab, Enter = show item, Ctrl+F5 = reload newspaper, adding any items retrieved since the newspaper was last shown and removing any items that no longer match the newspaper filter.
