 Updated:   July 20, 2001

Some bug fixes, including keyboard navigation problems. The newsgroup list box view now also displays the number of unread messages in each group, marking them as bold if there are any unread messages.

Note: If you have a crash when trying to start the beta, but would still like to try it, try renaming your current NewsReader settings folder ( ~/config/settings/NewsReader ) and re-configuring the beta from scratch.

Version 1.42 Beta 3
 License:   Shareware
 Updated:   June 9, 2001
 Source:   Source Not Available
Fixes some bugs from the previous beta, and gives you a list of newsgroups down the left of the single-window mode instead of a button. Currently the list doesn't show you the number of unread messages in that newsgroup, but this (along with any bugs still present) should be fixed by the next version.
