Times 1.0.5: Now available!
Times 1.0.5 is now available for everyone to download. This is a large maintenance release that squishes out lots of issues from previous builds. We've been testing it for a few weeks, and it looks like it's now sailing smoothly. Aside from fixes, here are some notable new additions:
Feed Authentication Support
Previous versions of Times would accept authenticated feeds, but the process wasn't clear or as smooth as we wanted it to be. When you add a protected feed in Times 1.0.5, you'll get a familiar dialog that will let you type in your user name and password and save it to Keychain.
Preview Feed Titles
When adding a new feed in Times 1.0.5, you'll get to see the feed title before you click Add to make sure its OK. Once the URL has been validated, wait a few seconds and watch the feed title fade in. Slick!
Custom Sound Support
Times now recognizes custom sounds added to ~/Library/Sounds/. Place a new sound file in here and you'll be able to select it in the Times Preferences as your new article notification sound.
Version 1.1 is still in development. There are some exciting new features coming in 1.1, as well as some significant under the hood changes. No date yet, but you'll see it this summer for sure.
