Sage 1.3 Released

Wed, 17 Nov 2004 16:00:00 GMT

Sage 1.3 has been released. Here's what's new:

Live Bookmarks Integration
Sage now interprets Live Bookmarks just as it does regular bookmarks, allowing the user to subscribe to feeds using the auto-discovery mechanism in Firefox. Live Bookmarks may be added to your Sage Feeds folder using Firefox's orange feed indicator icon, making them available for reading in the Sage sidebar. This gives users a quick and easy subscription method, while Sage's built-in 'Discover Feeds' function provides a more thorough scan.

Feed Item Toolbar and Mark Read/Unread
Sage now supports marking feed items as read or unread. To do this you can either use the feed item context menu or the Feed Item List Toolbar. The following keyboard shortcuts are available (As usual you can hold down shift or ctrl when clicking the feed item to open it a new window or tab):

M	Toggles the read state of the selected feed item
Ctrl+Shift+C	Marks all feed items as read.
Enter	Open selected feed item in current tab/window
Shift+Enter	Open selected feed item in a new window
Ctrl+Enter	Open selected feed item in a new tab

Enhanced Locale Support
Thanks to the efforts of our localization group, Sage now has full native support for Catalan, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Swedish locales.
Many bug fixes and miscellaneous enhancements.

Special thanks to Erik Arvidsson, Guillaume Criloux, and everyone else on the Sage team for making this release happen. A big hat tip to our community for all the bug reports, suggestions, and patches that keep helping us take Sage to the next level.
