I'm pleased to announce the second alpha of Sunrise XP.

Sunrise XP is a reworking of Sunrise. For more information, see the thread for the previous alpha.

Changes

The highlight of this release is RSS support. There are also many bugfixes:

New: RSS feed support.
New: Feed formatting options.
New: Ability to save feed items.
New: Link rewriting scripts.
New: Monthly schedule.
New: Attach date stamp to document name.
New: Plain text conversion.
New: GZIP decompression of HTTP responses.
New: HTTP User-Agent preference.
New: "Update only if sources have changed" setting now implemented. (Did not actually work in the previous release.)
New: Command-line option for updating documents automatically. (Select "Update -> Shortcut" to create a shortcut.)
Fixed: Fixed several threading issues in the spidering engine. Cancelling an update could, for instance, result in a crash.
Fixed: Multiple HTML <br> line breaks are now folded into a single line break.
Fixed: Parsing invalid HTML would sometimes yield a "Mismatched setting" error.
Fixed: Invalid HTML with empty paragraphs would cause paragraph breaks to be ignored.
Fixed: Formatting (alignment, font, colour) are now correctly reset for table cells.
Fixed: Invalid images are no longer linked to. (These would show up as "[img error: bad image type]" in Plucker.)
Fixed: PNG/JPEG/GIF image types are now detected by looking for their signature "magic bytes".
Fixed: "Restrict to domain/host/directory" setting did not work correctly and using it could result in a crash.
Fixed: Added missing character encoding mapping for Japanese. (shift_jis)
Fixed: HotSync conduit now aborts properly when the connection to the handheld is lost.
Fixed: "Store downloads in cache" setting was not saved.
Fixed: Drop-down lists were not displayed under the Windows "classic" interface.
Fixed: Numerous minor bugfixes and tweaks in the user interface.

See the full change log for more information. This also includes a roadmap for future releases.

Will post more info later today.
