Back to start page | old German version (not maintained any more)
There's also a page for Grr on the Etoile wiki: http://www.etoile-project.org/etoile/mediawiki/index.php?title=Grr

Grr has moved.
The Grr RSS Reader is now maintained by the GNUstep Application Project (GAP).

Screenshot

A screenshot of the current version of RSS Reader (Please note that Grr usually isn't displayed inside another window. This screenshot is from an experimental version of Alex Malmberg's OpenGL backend for GNUstep. Note the information panel zooming away when closing. :-))

RSSKit Documentation for Developers

Doxygen-generated documentation for RSSKit is now available at http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~guenther/RSSKit-Docs/. (refers to version 0.6.2)

Debian packages are provided by Gürkan Sengün and can be found here and are included in Debian. (They are outdated, though. It's recommended to use at least version 0.6.)

Grr 0.8-beta

Grr 0.8 is starting to shape very well. Download the beta version now!

RSS Reader has a new name!

Thanks for all the submissions! :-) To circumvent legal problems with the other aggregator called 'RSS Reader', this application is now named 'Grr' (Günther's RSS Reader)

Grr 0.6.2

At the moment I'm writing a small RSS reader application for GNUstep and MacOS-X environments. Here's a small preview-screenshot...

Version 0.6.2 (Thu Mar 9 2006)

This version is still experimental, but should be more stable than the old one. I also added the GPL statement to every source file now.

Versions 0.6.1-1 and 0.6.1-2 (Sun Jan 16 2006)

On the Grr side, Yen-Ju Chen submitted a version with multiple Gorm files instead of one big.

On the RSSKit side, a long-pending bug was fixed, that prevented Grr from showing some article contents.

This release is not intended to be used in production. Although on some systems it might be more stable than 0.6, the stability of the modified XML parsing code in 0.6.1-2 is only checked using some very rough tests and cannot be guaranteed.

Version 0.6.1 (Fri Jan 6 2006)

Bugfix release: Previous minor bugfixes (with major impact ;-))

Version 0.6 (Sun Nov 27 2005)

This is a previous stable release. Grr has finally a new name and it's also finally multithreaded.
